I've been reading a lot of poetry lately.
A snatch of a poem my grandmother used to quote about finding meaning
in work came to mind:

```text
Oh, you gotta get a glory
In the work you do;
A hallelujah chorus
In the heart of you.
Paint, or tell a story,
Sing, or shovel coal,
But you gotta get a glory
Or the job lacks soul.

Berton Baley
```

Even Google and Duck-Duck Go don't know much about it, so here it is
in my grandmothers handwriting.  From cleaning houses, to taking care
of kids, to canning beans she NEVER did anything halfway.
