Labor Day

Labor Day is meant to commemorate the laborers, the working men and women, of our nation. Of course, for most of us it is a holiday away from work. That is true with me because I pretty much had the whole day free with no work and no school until tomorrow.

I did work hard though. I spent some time planning the next few days and seriously pondering the next steps for my education and career goals this year. I also did organizational work with my posters and notebooks and my journal. As the day draws to a close, I am at my leisure and it feels wonderful.

So, what am I grateful for, exactly? I am grateful today for work because it makes leisure a much greater blessing afterward.
