Greetings All!
I am really enjoying this thread! It made me think about the changes I've made in
my life in the last decade or so. Ten years ago I was a single, workaholic middle
school librarian. Now I'm married and the proud mother of a 16 month old daughter.
While I'm still a librarian and now at a wonderful private school, my priorities
have changed. If finances would allow, I'd be staying home with her. I do
consider myself blessed every day to work in such a family-friendly environment.
I was a little put off by the tone of some of the postings on this topic. "John
Denverism?" He was a great singer, songwritier, and environmentalist. Perhaps
this wasn't the intent, but the posting about him seemed a little derogatory.
Everyone should do some inner contemplation and find their own passion. I'm still
trying to find mine. :) I can tell you that before I became a librarian I wanted
to be a florist, photojournalist for National Geographic, pilot of the Concorde,
fashion designer, jockey, ballerina, and an English professor. Now my dream would
be to live in a wonderful apartment in Paris and create expensive perfumes. Or
marry Willy Wonka and live in the chocolate factory.
But the best job of all is being Anastasia's Mommy.
