Favorite Word:
workFor my generation, life is work and work is happiness and fulfillment. Work is a word that has many meanings and applications. It is a happy work for me.
I used to say to my Grandmother, "That is a woman's work." She would remind me that there is no such thing as a woman's work or a man's work, there is only WORK, so get to it!
It stuck with me for 70 years.
