CELEBRATE!!!
Don’t know ’bout you, but when I was growing up, we had chores to do, especially during the summer monthes. They weren’t difficult. They were a teaching tool. We had to make our beds, keep our rooms clean, help with dishes, dusting, vacuuming, an so on. We even had a chart, complete with stars, if I recall correctly. However, on odd occasions (probably less odd than you would imagine), when we tumbled out of bed, my Mom would declare “a holiday”. What’s a holiday, you ask? Well, that day, we didn’t have to do our chores and we spent the entire day playing games with her and having fun. Funny the things you remember from your childhood, huh? Those “holidays” remain bright and shining in my memory.
Got any memories of holidays yourself? Christmas? Easter? Birthdays? Ground Hog’s Day? Labor Day? Sure are some funny holidays out there, aren’t there? Could we talk about Labor Day for just a minute? Why is it that we don’t work on Labor Day? The day set aside to honor people who work hard. We celebrate with cook-outs and family get-togethers. Don’t know ’bout you, but I think Labor Day just might be a sham. Seems we should all be at work–maybe even putting in overtime to honor that day. Shhh–don’t tell anyone I said that. I’ve already got my Labor Day plans in place and none of them includes working. Just something else to make us go hmmmm. Hope you’ve got some plans in place for declaring “a holiday”. Enjoy! You are the Best and good things are coming your way.
