Work, work, work – Everyday beautiful people 82

“The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” Steve Job

I heard loud, consistent thumping sounds on the window and when I could no longer ignore it, I had to have a look.

It was startling to find this fellow dangling on a rope, with pails and gallons and washing windows, 34 floors up in the air.

For several minutes, I watched as he worked efficiently and even carried on a conversation with his colleague who was a few feet away from him – unfortunately, I couldn’t get a photo of the second guy.

I was green around the gills just watching him and can never imagine what that must be like. Some jobs do require lots of gumption.

Below is my first just published Poetry Book “Out of the silent breath” which is available on Amazon and Smashwords.

When you buy my book, you support me in an invaluable manner.

Wonderful, evocative poetry by a talented writer. Left me hungry for more. Jacqueline can write! Linda Bethea

If you enjoy my works and would like to do so, you can fuel my creativity with a slice of cake or coffee

Touring the City (Chicago) with my sons, I too developed a healthy respect for workers hanging from the outsides of skyscrapers – I’d feel geenish simply looking from the ground! Great photos. I imagine the worker got a bang out of you photographing him. Have I mentioned I enjoy seeing through your eyes, feeling through your heart? ❤ ❤ ❤

    I should be so brave in the face of some of my other fears – Avoiding heights is easy 😀

There are guys who go up the Willis Center (what used to be called the Sears Tower in Chicago and was once the tallest building in the world). I used to work down the street. I got vertigo just watching the guys up there.

This will blow your mind: climbing the TV masts at the Sears Tower…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfnVLWzyn4I

  Phew! It’s quite a feat. I can’t even fathom doing this. Not even in my dream 😉

    I watched it about a dozen times the night I found it, and ended up having nightmares. You have to admire the people who do that sort of thing.
