Inspiration at Work

I had a horrendous morning and was looking for some inspiration. I asked someone for an encouraging word, but she didn't have any. Then I asked her why we keep showing up every day to do what we do. I thought I wanted to hear something about how "children are our future" or "it takes a village." Maybe a dash of "being where God sent us" and even a bit of "a mind is a terrible thing to waste." What I got was "to pay the bills." And you, today I think that was just what I needed to hear.
