When I grow up

I have no idea why this popped into my mind today but I thought about what I used to want to be when I grew up. When I was really young I wanted to be a nurse. I liked taking care of people. When I had my Barbie airplane I wanted to be a flight attendant, of course back then we still call them stewardess. Then as I got older and found out there were a lot of other things I could be, I wanted to be some high powered executive. In what industry I don't know. I just liked the sound of the money and power. I even went to college and started as a business major because of that interest. About half way through college I changed paths and ended up with a B.S. in Psychology. That's a Bachelor of Science not the other kind of B.S. Even though I've been know to toss around a little of the other kind. I thought maybe some day I'd go on and get at least a Masters. Like many people growing up I just wanted to be somebody special. It occurred to me that I did get what I wanted. I am somebody special. There is no one else out there who is like me. I am a wife, mom, friend, daughter, sister, aunt, sister-in-law and neighbor. I do live a life that incorporates all my interests over the years. I am a nurse when necessary, I am a executive of my household, and let me tell you I use that psychology degree more than you'd ever imagine. As I grow older I have other interests that emerge. I've always liked cooking and reading. Now I enjoy writing this blog. Maybe someday I'll take that even further. I am blessed that Devin's career affords me the time to explore my various interests. So I guess I'm still waiting to see what I will be when I grow up.
