"Sometimes you have to
let go of the picture of what
you thought life would be
like and learn to find joy in the
story you are actually living."
~Rachel Marie Martin
Bet I wasn't the only kid who
grew up with the Cinderella
story. But, I would have to
admit that any extrapolations
coming from there were my
own. Can't blame my parents
for this one!
And of course, we just use the
term. Childhood is a fantasy of
sorts, good or bad. I imagine
we all grew up thinking, "This
is NOT how things are going
to be for me when I grow up."
And now, nigh onto a 100.
my fave number for 73, I am
wowed by all the twists and
turns in my own life.
Whilst living them, we may
sorrow, but looking back, I
find myself dismissing regrets.
Methinks 'tis those very twists
and turns in our lives that bring
us to the end of our journey.
And, if that's the case, bring
on another few . . . I find I'm
not yet ready for the end of
my own journey!
Now, when I grow up, I want
to be . . .
