I'd like to vouch for the blessings of work (productive satisfaction, intellectual stimulation, collegial dialogue, and let us not forget, our daily pay) and to offer a few of my favorite, work-related quotations:
― Joseph Conrad
“Earning happiness means doing good and working, not speculating and being lazy. Laziness may look inviting, but only work gives you true satisfaction.”
― Anne Frank
“Inspiration usually comes during work rather than before it.”
― Madeleine L'Engle
“No man needs sympathy because he has to work, because he has a burden to carry. Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
“This is the real secret of life -- to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.”
― Alan Wilson Watts
“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
― Confucius
So with the day that is a holiday for many in celebration of a man who worked harder than most in pursuit of his dream still fresh in our minds, I say work on for what matters to you, whatever that may be. For me it's the writing, the creating, that fuels me. What work works for you?

I welcome your comments and questions and will do my best to answer in a reasonable time, though working on my next novel has to come first.
