When is labor a labor of love?

In response to last week’s question, " When is labor a labor of love?,"  my cycling from Ted wondered, "When you are giving birth! .,..or is that a labor from love? What do I know? I'm a dude," to which my dad's beach buddy Bob agreed, "Could it be that which brought the birth of your first child?"    My neigbhor Al  sought to solve this, replying "Gee .. let me ask my wife or an obstetrician."

My network friend Andrew advised, "When you love the labor, noting that Confucius said, 'Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.' "

And my social media friend Mark concurred, "Always.  Otherwise, we would not do it. Even when we whine, we are getting something worthwhile out of our 'labors!' "

Please send me your thoughts about this week's "things that make you go 'Hmmm' “:

When is a critique not criticism?    from my friend Liz  

The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.
