Labor Day 2010


Labor Day traditionally marks the end of summer for many of us.  Years ago, school began the day after Labor Day; school now begins from mid to late August.
Times have been tough in our nation in the past few years.  Many people have lost their jobs...from white collar to blue collar...and those of us with jobs consider ourselves lucky to have them.  Sure, wages have been frozen, but we still have our jobs.
I marvel at the many professions among my family and friends...to name a few....

Veterinarians, actors, mechanics
Ramp service, cooks, telephone repair,
Educators, nurses, doctors,
Homemakers, hairstylists, bartenders,
Waiters, pharmacists, undertakers.

All sorts of jobs; the list can go on.  I am proud of the accomplishments of my friends in their professions.  I occasionally hear a complaint about work, but who doesn't have a complaint- from long hours to back-breaking work- all valid, but I think the complaints help us survive our jobs.

To all those unsung heroes who work on holidays, I salute you.  God bless you and your families.  Enjoy the last day of a great summer break and prepare for the cold weather days.  Labor Day 2010, you're awesome!
