what a dirty filthy four letter
word "work" has become. A synonym
for drudgery and oppression, work,
the watch word for despair,
anxiety and personal struggle.
Trepidation arises in the approach
to bless work. Yet, wisdom has
told us, "we can survive any
situation if the why is strong enough."
May your work reflect
the deepest why within you.
May the intuitive value of work
show itself, revitalizing effort.
May the provision work yields
be celebrated in essential ways.
May the togetherness of work
add relational blessing
to life's mundane tasks.
May the heart enlarge in the
embrace of worthy work,
an intrinsic daily activity.
May the negativity of work be
shed as dry skin of a reptile.
Giving way to new and supple
freshness of easy motion.
May work provide discovery
of initiative.
May work become a wellspring
of happiness. May work chosen
be loved by yourself and others.
And always, may you be blessed
with work that brings relaxation
and positive reflection into
a life that gives itself for
others.

Oh, Larry, what wonderful words -- bittersweet as I've recently lost work that I dearly loved and am currently doing "not so loveable" work. You hit the nail on the spot!
i will try to remember your words...the next time my boss gives me a piece of paper and says, "Put this into a PDF document for me," and thinks he's giving me a big task to do ....
sorry dear LarryG -- a very nice sentiment :-)
Fabulous!
If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life.
Wow, I just realized I love my career now more than ever....I just don't like where I am doing it. Thank goodness we have many options in life or the job market for that matter.
we spend most of our waking hours at work, so to not do this, would leave us with deperate, empty souls....
