Today, I want to write a note of personal thanks to everyone who goes to work every day and does whatever they were hired to do to make this country great! Without your work, where would the country be?
Enjoy your day off, I hope you have a great time with your family and friends.
For some reason, I am very thankful to those who work hard to get the sour cream and onion potato chips to my local store every week. That’s just for starters.
Years ago when I worked in an office before I retired, Labor Day was my least favorite holiday of the year. Why? Because it meant school was starting, traffic would get worse, the awesomely hot weather was going away soon and it’d be harder to get a day off to work to enjoy being outside. The phrase “End of Summer” is one that I never liked because I never want summer to end. Now that I retired from an office job, summer isn’t over until the first frost followed by really cold temperatures.
Though I work for myself after retiring, I typically do not get “holidays” per se. I would really have to plan to do it which I aim to do for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Some will say “every day is a holiday when you are retired.” I guess that depends on what you are doing.
If you are off today from work, enjoy yourself. Surround yourself with family and friends while you have them to do it with! Be thankful for the job and work that you do!
