They are, after all, made to be broken, aren't they? Lisa, I'll be 52 yrs. in 2 wks and still trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up. To paraphrase something I read many years ago: "Decide what it is you love to do, and also what you are good at. If God is smiling on you, they'll be the same thing". I've always thought I'd love striking oil in my backyard; or discovering an original Rembrandt in the attic. So far, I've not very good at either!! Kudos on the prose, Beth clipmgr@tds.net Katherine,

Its images and rhythm are so perfectly upbeat and clear in the first three stanzas, and then appropriately flatten in the last two. Nice writing, Lisa!

Which adds legitimacy to what you're saying for so many people. Why do we do what we do and how long are we going to do it? I attribute my ambivalence to burnout and lack of inspiration.

I'm going to be a baker when I grow up. Make cakes for every happy occasion that make people smile. At least that's what I've been telling myself for 15 years. There's always an excuse. I should just do it. I completely relate. I’m going to be a baker when I grow up. Make cakes for every happy occasion that make people smile.
