I finished my Professional Development Journal yeah!!! It was quite an eye opening experience, apart from seeing the actual evidence of all I have learned and attended written in one place, it also highlighted what still needs to be worked on and even suggested some project ideas. It also showed me that some of the projects I started or was asked to do never really saw total completion and it was with sudden illumination I understood why at times, my job frustrates me. Having realised this, the way forward is clearer.

I began putting my Professional Development journal together for revalidation. I took a week off work to complete it and it probably would have been ample time if I didn't find that the gardening needed doing and the house was over due for a spruce up before winter...you get the picture. Seems like everything else competed for my time but i have started it now and already I have found the process rewarding. Even if I have to say so myself, I have learned a lot in the few years that I have been a librarian.
