This came at the right time.. pfff, that insight takes a burden of my shoulders. For today my mantra is “I love my work”, actually I do.

I know. Funny, isn’t it? How we (humans) get ourselves in such a bind about some concepts (like MONEY, too).

I’m glad you kept yourself steady on with your knowing of WORK as the sensible concept it is.

Thanks for your comments, Jo.

Right on sister!

Years ago I worked full time at a law firm (nts & weekends) while attending Grad School. The Office Manager got *all* upset when I referred to my grad school work as “work”. Only what I did at the law firm was work, to her. But my thought was: work is effort expended for a payoff at a later time — a paycheck in 2 wks or an MA in x# of years down the road (it took me 5). I still puzzle about her reaction. And totally agree: work is not a four-letter word. Thanks Grace for the post & the links!
