It’s Labor Day weekend. Most of are trained to celebrate it in very particular ways that include grilled food, cold beer and crowded beaches.

But I’m proposing you celebrate this weekend with a little different take: truly celebrate your labor of this last year.

Many of us are contending with financial difficulties or perhaps are unemployed or underemployed. But we all work to some extent. We extend ourselves to make our life better. We try.

And labor doesn’t have to mean simply employment. A single mother is working hard raising a child. Some children work hard to survive in troubled homes. And for some, our minds just work a lot and need a rest!

For all the work that we output, in whatever form - celebrate it by letting it go this weekend and doing whatever the heck you want. No pressures. No keeping up. No working. No labor. Just relaxation and celebration for you and all you’ve done, in whatever form.
