Push

''Push" 12-25-17 I work until the pain becomes laughable a different gear Something simply infathomthomable I work this way so Future shall be... I awake in pain unbearable to me Feet timidly hit the floor and shower to skin Eighty hour weeks,yet in still,A very inviting grin This is my Life and as painful as it is My babies shall never know this /////////////Sorry but Had to ...only time..please forgive the ''letters''

Hey Jai: good to have you back. Hard to write a lot with those hours. Take care of you. Life is short. Hugs, SuZ

You could be pushing yourself too hard, Justine, even if things are dictated by necessity! Most people in my country work half what you do! Regards // paul

A 45 hour week is long enough for me.
