I believe things happen in your life for a reason. "From out of chaos comes order." Some credit Friedrich Nietzsche with that quote, others say that Mel Brooks wrote it for his movie Blazing Saddles. It doesn't really matter, I'm a believer. I mean, how do you know you don't like cauliflower if you've never tasted cauliflower? I know I don't! I'm sure of it because my wife made me eat it once. That brings me to the concept of trying new things to see if they fit you personally.
I have a special someone who just doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up, so this is for her. A mommy, a teacher, or maybe even a rocket girl.
She still has plenty of time to decide, buy my advice will always be "do what makes you happy." Seems like an answer that really wasn't thought out deeply, but to those I love, the words are from my heart. As I would tell my granddaughter if she asked, "Paw Paw, what should I be when I grow up?" I would simply tell her this, "I hope you dance."
My little girl takes ballet. As a matter of fact, she will be in class in about seven hours. In the meantime, she is upstairs resting, sleeping in her warm bed while downstairs her mother writes a friend, unable to sleep because the storm outside has kept her awake. It will probably rain, but there will be nothing to keep her away from pointing those toes...not even a storm.
