What to do when I grow up….

One of the books on my summer reading list was Sophia Loren’s book.

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow  My Life by Sophia Loren

I was blown away by her last sentence in the book. I had no idea she and I were so alike…. Oh, others of you may have recognised similarities, but they had not been so apparent not me *chuckle* …. We, (Sophia and I) are both still trying work out what we will do when we grow up.

Generally, I have loved all the aspects of the working life/career I have been so fortunate to have.

When I was a kid, I worked in my uncles shoe shop….that is like lollies to a diabetic (remember ‘Debra’ means lover of shoes). There is photographic evidence!

My nursing career has been a kaleidoscope of work life that has so many facets, colours and chapters. I have immense love for so much of my nursing world.

Of course, Midwifery was “the love” of my working life. 

I have dabbled in many activities over the years designing and making kids clothes, cake making (my only source of income during the nurses strike of 1986), catering, sewing wedding clothes; the list goes on….. Tez calls them hobbies; those things I do that cost me money and don’t allow him to retire …. Haha.

Some new chapters, in draft, ready to be attempted in 2015. There are still many things on my bucket list. What do I want to be when I grow up? How does one decide?

If you don't decide then it is possible that you will never grow up.
You will be eternally young. (well at least on the inside.)

I can live with that thought, Kim

I haven't decided either - it's what makes life interesting (and a little frustrating!)
