What was my dream when I was a child? What did I want to be? Oh, how easy would it be to answer, but it means I have to open up and give total strangers a glimpse of my childhood and let people all over the world look into my heart? That’s tough, but I am hiding behind a screen, so maybe I could? My blog is new, and I don’t have many readers…so what the HECK…cards on the table!
Way back then, when I was a little Ladybug, I didn’t care what I would do for a living later on in life. I didn’t want to be the first female president or a celebrity. The goal for my future was very simple; I had a crystal clear vision in my mind of what I wanted to be. I wanted to be a better adult than my parents were. I wanted to be gentle and kind; I wanted to give love and laughter. I wanted to have a family and friends! I wanted to grow up as quickly as possible so that I could leave and find a place that felt like home.
Mission accomplished! I am who I wanted to be, and I am happy!

[…] I’ve just read a piece by another blogger writing for the prompt, “What did you want to be?” The link is here, http://nonsmokingladybug.wordpress.com/2014/05/30/i-am-who-i-wanted-to-be/ […]
That is not only pleasing, but excellent ! Simple, uncomplicated and a driven philosophy that you followed. WELL DONE YOU !
I am glad we met 🙂 I am looking forward to get to know you better as well. I love reading a good blog with a good cup of coffee. Blog-reading with coffee seems to be my new guilty pleasure 🙂
There is no criticism of coffee-drinking that I will entertain – none, do you hear ?! [grin] I have a Gaggia Classic that’s second only in my affections (the major one being my moggie, Lui Stringer); and I refer to it several times a day. YAAAAAAARM !

You remind me of Beth from Little Women. Congratulations and I hope you have a happy future too 🙂
