I love the toynbee quote: it is good to have a job you enjoy doing — and get paid for it :)

And we look forward to Labor Day to have rest from working.
Am I missing something?
OK. I’m not doing the dishes today or helping with anything else around the house.
Love your busy ant pic. The spiders and scorpions that creep and crawl around certainly keep me busy. :( I will let them be for this one day. :)

Love the photo and the quote. I strive to make work seem like play, as I do what needs to be done in the Now.

Somebody said, “Do something you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Ants must love what they do. Happy Labor Day, everyone.

A very important observance. It’s become more important to me after retirement. Not sure what that means, but there it is.

Maybe because it’s become something other that just a day off.

I always find it confusing that labour day in the US is in September. To me, as being from Europe it’s so connected with the first of May 🥰 happy belated Labour Day 🤗

Somewhat late but hey… And I think working would be so much more pleasant if we enjoyed ourselves whilst working!
