labor day – From the desk of Adam Thomas

What is Labor Day?

Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

Why does it matter?

I believe the worker is the backbone of the country. This holiday is an accurate representation of “We the People.” It affects most of us.

What is your takeaway?

Eye contact and warm words mean a lot. Then do this every day :-). Whenever you see someone working today, take a moment to say thank you.

Enjoy.

This holiday is for the working person to kick their feet up and relax.

If you can, don’t worry about everything else, it isn’t going anywhere.

Our time is valuable, and relaxing among family and friends is a great use of it. Resist the urge to open an email and even social media if you can.

In fact, turn this off (thanks for reading).

Happy Labor Day!
