To my mind, this is a good translation.

Thank you for the response and thanks for taking the time

The Latin sentence is correct and good, but the meaning shifted a bit. It means "What must be done is not always what is liked." In better English - "You don't always like what you have to do." I think it catches the inner sense of the sentence and the situation pretty well.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
So 'facienda' implies a personal pronoun? Does it refer to 'we' or 'you'?

[ioanna_ioannina]

No. Facienda means "things to be done". There's no info at all about who will do the things in the Latin version of the sentence.

THANK YOU. Makes sense
