Subject: RE: BS: What you *were* going to do in life?....
When I was about 6, swinging in a swing, singing, 'How would you like to go up in the air? Up in the air so blue" I decided I wanted to be a singer.
In high school I stayed in choir, but I took up a lot of art that got me into drawing, clay, fibers and painting. At that time I wanted to be a portrait artist.
After school I took off on the road with a friend and we hitchhiked back and forth across country for 5 years. That's when I picked up my first harmonicas and guitar. It also got me into working (carving) with stone, hunting and studying rocks and minerals, and I wanted to become a geologist.
When I settled down and moved into a farm I started studying and growing herbs and wanted to be an herbal healer.

Time sure flies- So now I, play my music, sing, play harps, write, sculpt clay, go on rock hunting trips, grow herbs and gardens and have a seasonal job as a supervisor in a beautiful park, and I still can play half a year!
