Questions from the back of the card: Growing up

the interesting idea... the start of this project... the conversations to come

I'm a member of Post Crossing, the internet site for postcard exchange. I sent a card to another Post Crosser, Ilona from Germany. She asked that people tell her which magical power they would like to have. Her question really made me think!

In turn, I thought it would be an interesting project to ask people to pose Thought-Provoking Questions. I would do my best to answer with my opinion, and I would encourage others to add theirs.

And, so was born this blog! I hope that it will be the home for many interesting conversations in the year ahead!

Don't Know Yet

Ilse, from Holland writes:

What is the biggest challenge you took in your life and how did you succeed?

I'm working on the "growing old gracefully" thing. I won't know if I succeeded because, as the author Clarissa Pinkola Estes has pointed out, old age is the one phase of our lives that we cannot look back on.

An Astronaut? A Fire Fighter? An Engineer?

Dianne, from Australia, asks several related questions:

Do you remember what you wanted to be "when you grew up"?

Can you imagine pursuing that path now in hindsight?

What might have been different if you had?

Wow. I realized that I don't remember a childhood fantasy of "when I grow up"! I am going to have to ask my dad, whom I will see in a few days if HE remembers anything!
