lash505 ~ That is a good question. His plans didn't turn out quite like expected but his name was apt and that's where he is!

Growing up I wanted to be in music,
then when I was almost there,I quit.
Just living life was enough for me.
I leave those big dreams to my kids.
for now, I am happy as a unknown writer just happy to be alive...
As for helping others,that comes with living.People who don't get that,well,
must be a dull life.
Great post,thanks for sharing~

most people are far too self centered to even think this way let alone do it.
it is good that you can and do.

CJ~ there are some circumstances where you are the only one. You may wonder why at the time but I have been taught that all will be revealed in time. I just know that you cannot think of it as a sacrifice but as a gift to give.

I always thought I'd be a great writer...I went to school for it and then I realized it didn't pay me enough for all the effort. But now, I realize that sometimes the payment we receive for doing the things we love, is in the reflectioin of a happy content person staring back at us.

Well said. If I grow up, I want to be anything as long as it's sober.

How sad is the fact I never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. I'm 44 now and still don't know.
I see you,

Great Post Sirreene. What's up with the 400 mile road trips? I guess I did that when I lived over the border. That's also part of the reason I moved back to this side of the border.

Hope you are enjoying your journey. Ta Ta

Oh... I thought I'd be a teacher when I grew up. Still entertaining the idea - although I enjoy being the princess that I am. I can share that title with Gwen.

Thanks for all your support about our trip to Israel. It was wonderful!

Glad I stopped by. I still think I'll be famous some day, that I should be achieving great things. Instead, I am headed towards retirement and grandchildren. I have, however, remain married through thick and thin, made my amends to my children so they speak to me, and stuck with the Al-Anon program a long time... in these three things, I have achieved greatness through my HP's power!
