What do you want to do when you grow up?

What happens when you reach the age of 50 and you still have figured out what you want to do when you grow up? Have you failed? Have I failed because I have not become a great lawyer or business tycoon? What about a life of experience? Does that count for something? How would have my life been different if I had married that nice young man instead of deciding to spend the summer hiking the Grand Canyon? I can't really say I regret any decision but I wish that I knew how to actually make plans for the future. I've spent so much of my life living in the moment that I am stumped by the question of what are you going to do with the rest of your life. Tonight I'm searching. Tomorrow? Who knows? I guess I'll just have to wait to find out.
