work, a daily grind


Never work just for money or for power.
They won't save your soul or help you sleep at night.
~~~ Marian Wright Edelman ~~~
it's most of our life, this thing "WORK"
we will (in degrees) dread, enjoy, relish and regret it.
it will exhaust us, renew us, challenge us & bore us to tears.
it can be gloomy, garish, gross, grimy, gritty, gripping, gracious or glamorous
or at times all of the above
we work at the jobs we have for a multitude of reasons
many of which make no sense to those who love us & watch us off each day to the trenches
sometimes we don't know why ourselves, which is sad
we should, at the very least, know why and for what we are working so hard for.
like she said:
Never work just for money or for power. They won't save your soul or help you sleep at night.
