Thank you so much Beata! I am blessed by your placement! This was a wonderful contest that brought out amazing thoughts on the work of our hands and hearts in God's vineyard - so many wonderful poems, it must have been a difficult task sorting them out! I love the idea of putting our thoughts into a monoku - lots of material for bumper stickers!!! Blessings dear friend!

It's so cool to see what people all say about work with their one liners. Great job here.

I agree! Have been enjoying the many perspectives on work and the way each of us looks at it. This is more than half the fun of "the soup" - opportunities to see many subjects with new eyes. Thank you so much for your note Andrea! Blessings!
