Labor of Love

Most of us all go to work in a very negative way. Most of us can't wait for the end of our work day. I happen to be one of the above. Oh, to experience a true labor of love. I'm not talking about a hobby or freely giving one's services to charity to those most deserving. I'm talking about a labor of love that provides a descent living in these economic times most unforgiving. I can't imagine what it must feel like waking up every morning every day and can't wait to get to work because it's the highlight of my day. A true labor of love for me I believe would be to continue sharing with all of you my poetry but alas, that's a labor of love that is most unlikely. My poetry will most likely always be for me My Labor Of Love Hobby.

Perhaps it is that in love, really there is no labor. However, just come to think of it, a woman giving birth to a baby, yeah, that would be a labor of love. But I know what you mean. It is better to make a living doing something we love. A great write, Bill! Thank you for your comments today. Photographie indeed captures a moment everytime the camera clicks. Have a daughter who loves photographie and is real good at it too. Another great form of art. Best wishes, Caroline.

I feel exactly the same way. But I am kind of lucky in that I teach English to really lovely people from other countries. So though I would rather be here in the soup, at least I am in an enjoyable place also at my work. GOOD ONE! andrea

Dare to dream and the dreams could come true. I love my job, I love the pay, I love to go to work each day, and there are the men in the white jackets to take me away. The other Dr. Seus. Keep the entertaining writes coming for we all enjoy the excitement. I do not live in the state of CA. Look up falt lines on the internet well say Falt Lines in North America. I live in GA. Several years back we had tremors from a earthquake epicenter either in Tennesee or the Carolinas. Sara
