It turns out that in the late 1800's, two labor-union activists wanted to raise awareness about how much people in the manufacturing industry worked- so they dedicated a day for people to enjoy the fruits of their labor (www.keyt.com/news)
To me, we live such fast-paced lives in the U.S. And for what? Tomorrow will still come and work will always be at our doorsteps. My dad said that in his company, they are no longer allowing un-used vacation time to roll over into the next year. They consider it a liability. They said that vacation time is there for employees to recharge their batteries and give themselves a break. What an idea! : ) I'm grateful for vacation time. Even if it means lounging around, watching old episodes of Arrested Development on Netflix and eating crap. (Crap= Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, Nestle Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookies, Tortillas & Cheese, Pineapple sorbet, Papa Johns Pizza, Homemade Fudge, Popcorn and other assortments of junk).
If you haven't seen Arrested Development and you like dry humor, this will most definitely keep you entertained.
Happy Labor Day! Take a break!
