But it did give me pause because I've only ever wanted to be an English teacher. Now what? It's crazy to be so anchor-less. But then I bought business cards for the blog and wrote "Writer & Photographer" on them, and it felt pretty damn good :) You should make business cards that say, "Dream appreciater"!Becky @ Rub Some Dirt On Ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01852648351275160422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-77247912010445523722011-06-23T08:57:53.239-04:002011-06-23T08:57:53.239-04:00That's sorta where I am, not because I've ...That's sorta where I am, not because I've achieved my dream but because I can't remember my dream...Daenel T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08864314251750387383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-54966310505236031462011-06-23T06:15:23.483-04:002011-06-23T06:15:23.483-04:00I loved how you ended this post.

I can't think of another "career" I would want more. I assume at some point I will go back to work and often wonder what I will do...it's fun to think of different ideas....and a little scary too! I still have some unfulfilled dreams, but not major ones. I just mostly want a bigger house in a different state and on a quiet street. I would also love to travel more someday. I've never been to Europe...or really out of the country except for Canada, the Bahamas, and St. Thomas (which is technically a US territoty right?)!Heather Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08879116787132311434noreply@blogger.com
