"What
do you want to be when you grow up?"
Haven't we all been asked
that? It is strange that even as young children, our "want
to be" is some profession or another - fireman, doctor, vet,
etc. When is it in life when we discover that what we get paid
to be isn't necessarily "who" or "what" we are?
At 40ish, I am sure I have
not yet fulfilled the role I was intended for. But I
continue, each day,
to strive toward it while playing the roles
of wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, librarian, trainer, webmaster, contributor, caretaker,
supporter, and more. One day I will
complete the race. Until then, may the
Lord be my guide. |
