On Working

Nothing worth anything comes very easily.

Work is one of those things.

Like, really though, who do you know has a job that they love and just fell into it easily and effortlessly?

Not very many people, I am sure.

I just worked a ten hour day and when I came home, took a long, hot bath.

When I got out of the bath, I fell asleep easier than a baby on a car ride.

Like the water in the tub, I was drained!

The LAST thing I wanted to do was wake up and write my daily blog, 

but somehow, in an act of fate, I had left my interior light on in my car and my roommate noticed.  

He woke me mid-slumber to shut it off and now that I am awake, 

I figured it a supreme opportunity to get this written.

I'm sure we've all been here before - 

So tired we crashed out with our bedroom light still on...

Cranky and sleepy like a little toddler, but we don't have that excuse any more...

Awoken abruptly by an outside force, when we surely could have slept for a day straight.

Yeah, that was me just a few minutes ago.  

And now that I am up and had to sit in front of the computer searching for a topic to blog about, 

nothing felt more natural.

So I looked up these quotes on work and I hope you enjoy: 

“You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.”

-Richard David Bach, writer

“Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”

-Saint Francis Assisi 

“Nobody's a natural. You work hard to get good and then work to get better. It's hard to stay on top.”

-Paul Coffey

“Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Accordingly a genius is often merely a talented person who has done all of his or her homework.”

-Thomas Edison

“If there is no wind, row.”

Latin proverb

GOOOOOD NIGHT!
