Prompt #209: The Ghost of Your Potential. If you had followed the career path you dreamt of at age seven, what would your typical Tuesday look like right now?

Digging! I wanted to be an Archaeologist. I have always been fascinated with old things, especially rocks, bones, shells and the history of it all. I came from a poor family and did not get any encouragement from my parents regarding college and how to get there. So, never came close on my own. Got married and that was that.

I still to this day, enjoy documentaries, magazines and tells of digs. I am content with the fact that I didn't make it to such a dream. I am 80 now and most of my traveling consists of watching videos of others doing the traveling for me. Much easier on the knees these days.
