Late Bloomer

Today was Career Day at the high school where I teach. That means teachers got the morning off, and we all got to hear guest speakers from various careers talk about what they do and what it takes to be a dentist, forensic scientist, professional musician, fireman, politician or food writer.

Now, after over twenty years as a demure school teacher, I finally know what I want to be when I grow up: a writer! And here's where it all begins--on my brand spanking new blog! I'm pretty sure that as I hone my craft in the daily discipline of writing, I'll quickly compile a huge fan base, get picked up by a publisher, and get my work made into a major motion picture! Ooooooor . . . I'll just enjoy writing. Which I do.  And maybe become a just a little bit more alive and aware in the process.

And so it begins . . . another day in the Big World.  Let the inspiration begin!
