    Fellow Seekers, how have you all been?

    I'm seeking some illumination in respect to growing up. How did you all decide on what you were going to do with your lives? I've been thinking about it lately and I'm just not sure on what I want to do. Of course my faith has an influence on my decision but I have no great ambition or anything like that.

    And since my summer has just ended, how was all your own summers?

    I will give you a sample of the thinking that lead me to choose my career. I grew up having my father point at any plant or tree and tell me what it was and it's Latin nomenclature. That made an impression on me. But I fell in love with Nero Wolfe murder mysteries, one of his hobbies was growing orchids. I loved the word Orchid. When I saw my first at age 13, I was hooked. Then I realized that growing them, hybridizing them was similar to Pokemon...that was a conclusion of my youth.

    Anyway...I took my greatest passion and made it a profession. Even if you can't do that...take the closest thing to it.

    I doubt that was very helpful...but I tried. Wish there was a real answer to that question...but it all depends on you.

    Fear not, this is not...the end of this world.
