Fantasy Job

I am past the point now of desiring or expecting any more 'jobs' in the ministry.  But it occurred to me recently, that there is a 'fantasy job' I would love to have.   I would love to write a daily or a weekly column or article for the newspaper.  Of course, newspapers are no longer the public's news source of choice, and are in a slump, so those jobs hardly exist at all any more .

I like to have a predictable pattern of my days.  I like to work at home.  I like to write.  What could be better? I'd have a pen name, of course, perhaps Sally.  My weekly article could be called Sally Says. I would espouse my views on an endless array of ideas. My column would be filled with wisdom, humor and keen observations about human life.

In the Ladies Lit Club, one has to give a twenty minute paper once a year.  The topic for next year was recently announced, and from that general assignment, everyone has to choose a book they will write about, using that topic.  In less than a week,  my ten page paper is already ready.  And it is not due until October!

In today's world, writers blog.  I am grateful for my few and faithful readers.  Since Sally Says is not likely to happen in this life,  thankfully, there is Being Sixty Plus!   It is my fantasy job without the pay and without the pressure.

How fortunate I am!
