I've always wanted to know . . .
. . . Who will I be when I grow up?
What am I going to do when I'm an
adult? I finally have my answer . . .
. . . I am becoming!
When we were little kids, we simply
thought adulthood had it all; 'twas
the be all, end all of existence. As
adults, we are initiated into that time
old truth, it is what it is and it's never
ending.
Of course there are choices to be made,
some good and some bad. But, there
are also circumstances that threaten
those choices. How do I go live in
Africa for a year when my mother is
dying? Oops, just got pregnant 6 years
before I had intended to. type of thing.
We are constantly touted the adages, I
have free will. I make my own choices.
I am responsible only to myself. Sooooo
NOT true! Life butts in; circumstances
change, money or lack there of, has
quite a bit to say about it.
Yes! We are gifted this life. And, we'll
be able to claim some of it. But, whether
you are an others first kind of person,
or reality simply creeps in, there will
be precious few things and times over
which you have any say.
Think hard; choose wisely! And always
remember, you are becoming . . .
