Be Careful What You Wish For

When I was a young girl entertaining fanciful thoughts I dreamt I would grow up to be a famous opera singer, maybe mezzo soprano, or a successful archeologist. Today I look back and cringe because I realize I've accomplished both, although not on the famous or successful levels I had in mind. I catch myself singing off key arias as I putter about the house looking for missing keys or a misplaced purse. And there you have it. The realization of my childhood dreams had indeed come true. And I'm just fine with that.

When we were in Eureka Springs last weekend, we entered a store called Glitzee's, wherein the proprietor was singing as she worked. She made me think of you.
