nephirMy aspirations have changed as I have changed.
As a child I wanted to be an archeologist, or a brain surgeon. Either one would have been good with me at the time. I still have a deep and abiding love of history. A career counselor in high school told me that "women don't enter these fields, you should take typing and become a paralegal". I kid you not.
As a young adult I wanted to be a parent, and to be a GOOD parent. I think, for the most part I have managed to do this. But I've not been perfect in any way, let me assure you. As a parent I've made mistakes, BIG ones, but luckily they haven't been truly damaging ones.
As an older adult I want to be a good person. I want to learn, share knowledge, write about things that interest me, read, knit, spend time with my husband,spend time with my adult children, spend time with my granddaughter, travel, not worry....
I want to leave this world with few regrets.
