Four years ago this used to be a full day of labor packing myself up to move back from cape cod to NY to start school the next day. Tomorrow I am starting my third year of retirement. We celebrate this day every year by taking drinks to beach and NOT having to drive back to NY.
This year we met another couple our age, shared our drinks, and stayed down there until dark. We came home and hubby made shrimp fettuccine with red sauce. Now, sated with drink and food, I suddenly realize that for me, Labor Day is celebrating not having to labor tomorrow.
Just another thing I can give gratitude for today. For all of you who have to return to the work world tomorrow, you are in my thoughts and prayers, and…hang in there, if you work hard, give it your all, your day will come.
And so, as another day goes by, tonight life’s really a beach, and ….I have written.
