This month Good News Wants to Know… What would your occupation be if you had followed your childhood dreams? My childhood dream was to play Major League Baseball. I tried out for the Kansas City Royals and thought that they would be my team, but Kansas City just didn’t see it my way. By now I would be a washed up third baseman since I’m 68 years old.

Definitely NO going back in time for me and I hesitate in going forward. I think living in the moment is essential and taking each day as it comes. BUT if I must, I would go forward in time and meet my grandchildren; hopefully my children a long time from now will have some children. I would like to run ahead and see what the fruits of […]
