Day 9 ~ Work

Today = If you could have any job in the world, what would it be?

My first-thought-reaction to this question is super random, but I'm going with it...

I'm not a big fan of Cameron Diaz' character, Amanda, in The Holiday, but I would love her job in that movie!  (She is described as a "beautiful movie-trailer maker." lol)  So she literally works from home watching upcoming movies well before they are released in theaters, then choosing the best lines and scenes and background music (she also works with a fun composer) to carefully piece together and create a powerful, compelling trailer for the film.  I'm a big movie fan, and I have always loved watching the previews, often preferring them to the actual full-length film because they are brilliantly edited and they draw you in!  As long as I could turn down all the horror movies, I'd be all about this job!  (I would also love to learn more about video editing just to be able to make epic videos for family and friends -- it's a skill I would like to develop, and something I think I would enjoy and be good at based on how much I love making Flipagrams and other videos.  Being a wedding videographer who edits together a special video for the couple would also be pretty awesome - every time I watch one of those, I think about that!)  So yeah, I would want the *likely-fictional* version of her job that would pay enough to buy my single self a mansion in Los Angeles like Amanda had in the movie... and if I ended up meeting a kind widower with two adorable British daughters while I'm on a lovely Christmas holiday, that'd be just fine, too! #yesplease  I basically want the Christian version of her life in that movie! lol

Part 2 of my answer is that I would be a mom who makes good money and works from home (so the above job idea would still work, or being an author or a captioner or any number of other things).  I definitely want to be a mother and to raise a Godly child (or children).  For years and years, my thoughts have centered on raising a girl if I'm a single parent, but God is growing my heart on that and I'm thinking a lot about how great it might be to have a boy and raise a strong man of God!  I'm open and praying about what comes next. ❤

*I also want to be clear that I am very thankful for the job I have now, a role I am good at that offers high job security, low-stress (for me), writing time, excellent hours, and the ability to retire with full benefits in less than 20 years!! =)  I've spent lots of time considering and researching other options, but in the end, I'm very unlikely to leave unless things drastically change for the worse here!
