Dream Job

The next item on this list is what my dream job is and why.  The funny thing is... as much as I might vent about my job, I really like it.  The politics behind it are frustrating sometimes and the fear of making a wrong move that can negatively impact a child/family.... those aspects of my job do weigh on me a bit.  But I love the chance to work with so many different types of people.  I have been able to meet with people who have done horrible things, or experienced horrible things, and yet I feel charity towards them.  I can see that they are not all bad... in a way it has helped me be more Christlike.  Am I perfect at this?  No.  Do I sometimes gripe about people?  Yes.  Do I survive this intense job by having a dry/sarcastic/dark sense of humor which is probably not always good?  Yes. 

BUT, if I had to move on to something else, and I could not select "Stay-at-Home-Mom," I would totally be a gypsy street artist in Europe.  Because I'd be in Europe, and I'd be doing artwork, and I could dress in long flowy skirts all the time.
