An Astronaut.
Which is odd because I hate flying, but I would love to look out of a porthole and see Earth spinning below me. And I would love to travel the stars. I would settle for having a job peering through massive telescopes at far flung nebulae.
A Midwife.
I think it is a common thing among those of us who have given birth to imagine that this is a wonderfully rewarding job. I am sure it is also demanding, exhausting, exhilarating and heartbreaking in turn. Not to mention underpaid.
Yes. I would like to be amongst the ranks of the loathsome ones. Mostly because I think a dose of the common person is much needed! People have such disdain for politicians these days that many don't even vote anymore. How tragic- politics is how we can have our say and get things changed. I am not perfect, but I do understand real life, and that is a good start. Plus I would love to be able to insult people publicly as long as I start my sentence with 'the right honourable gentlemen .....'
A Writer.
I am not sure I have a book in me, but I definitely have a weekly column....
A Charity Worker.
I want to do positive things with my life. I don't care for leaving my mark, but it would be nice if I at least brought a few smiles along the way.
Looking back at that list, other than the astronaut, they are all possible! I am 40 next Summer, that still leaves probably 30 years of working life ahead of me. Am so entrenched in baby world currently that it can be hard to see that I am capable of any of those things, but you know what, I bloody well can do any of them if I want it enough!
What would you like to do? I would love to hear your ambitions- Train Driver? Trapeze Artist? Architect?
Love Miss Cisco XXX
P.S. yes, I still want to be Kim Deal. But I thought maybe I had mentioned that too often before....
Haha I don't think I know what I want to do yet...strange thing is I know what I don't want to be doing...surely that should make it easier?!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly narrows it down!! Lucky are those who have a vocation- for the rest of it our dreams evolve as we do!
DeleteDo all Mums toy with the idea of being a midwife? I know I did too... and when I was 8 I wanted to be prime minister, so lack of ambition there then! I did a blog post about this once too, about all the dreams I had and how, in a way I fulfilled them. I'm sure you will too x
ReplyDeletechildbirth is such an experience it makes a big impression, and leaves us thinking what a wonderful thing to be involved in daily, am sure the reality is far harder than the ideal! And good for you, I am sure will make progress on at least some, and often it is the journey not the destination that's important!
DeleteA stay at home dad.
ReplyDeleteI tell myself this every day, that way I feel like I'm living the dream!
OK, so it was really a long distance lorry driver. It was a hairdresser briefly but once my sisters Barbies were all sporting the cropped look I felt I'd achieved all I could in the world of styling.
I love being a stay-at-home Mum and have toyed with the idea of midwife too. Now I aim for writer and maybe a college lecturer - would have thought I'd have decided by now, pleased I'm not the only one xx
ReplyDeleteI love the astronaut idea - but I think I'd get a bit claustrophobic in the space shuttle - but seeing the planets and stars - wow! Hubby got me a telescope last year for our anniversary and I loved looking at Jupiter and seeing the patterns and even the moons. Also our own moon is so beautiful. I'd love to be a children's book writer but have never been brave enough to try- wouldn't know where to start! My Kids love my stories and that is enough for me. x
