If I Were. . .

Taking up KMJ's challenge that was inspired by Jaymarie's intitial challenge, here are my musings on alternate careers paths.

If I were a scientist, I would pioneer a harmless gene therapy to cure diabetes. I would consider this my greatest gift to my mother who ultimately died due to related complications of being diabetic for forty years.

If I were a painter, I would finally know the name for the color we painted the bathroom.

If I were a librarian, I would spend every waking moment reading, reading and reading some more. Like Sherry, I get a little manic when I think about all the books that are out there and how I'll never get a chance to read them all. If I were a librarian I would have no such problem. Of course the added bonus of telling people to be quiet for a living also has its appeal.

If I were a psychologist, I would spend the majority of office time trying to treat myself. Talk about a full time job.

If I were a gardener, I would spend my time breathing in the life that is present in the living creation of our God. As environmental issues are a primary interest for me, I would delight in working with creation. Taking in the smell of recently watered grass, the texture of the cool, moist soil and the sounds of animals flying and crawling about in my own garden is one of my favorite ways to pass time. To be financially compensated to do so would be sweeter still.
