Now?

Daily writing prompt
What is your career plan?

From where I am now, my career plans look far different from the ones I started with, so many years ago.

At the age of 5ish, sitting in front of an easy-bake-oven, I was sure that I would be a Chef…

My adolescent and teenage years offered no clue, as to what my future held…

Highschool hormones led me to believe that I was to be a model…

Early adulthood found me chasing after dreams of being an equestrian…

Then came motherhood and the survival of the fittest…

So much time has passed, leaving a myriad of memories…

Looking ahead now, at the age of 55, I have future plans and goals, but a career plan?

Currently, I already have a degree, my husband and I share 6 children and 6 grandbabies, and I rode horseback so much that I destroyed my back and knees!

As far as a future career, I suppose being a writer suits me the best, don’t you?

Here, have a cookie…

  1. I just love your career/life story. You cracked me up with that easy bake oven! I never had chef dreams, but I had the 10-years-earlier model. Those little round cake pans!! Oh, and your dreams as you grew are so fun and exciting, and I love your and your husband’s big wonderful family now! You are so blessed and highly favored! All my heart’s very best to you and yours. ☀️🌷❤️

  2. Easy bake ovens, lol. I remember them taking hockey-puck “cookies” out that were “baked” by a lightbulb… geez, could bust a tooth on them… but it was “Oh, wow, this DELICIOUS, honey…” 😎😂 I miss those days. Great post.

    1. Surprisingly, if you sit with the cookie for the entire time… the cookie will turn out. You just have to sit and watch it for an eternity, but on the up side, by the time it was done, you were very hungry to eat it… lol!
