Today, in the USA, we celebrate Labor Day.
Labor Day, is always celebrated the first Monday in September and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It is an annual national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of the country.
This holiday in 2020 is different from others we've had in the last 100 years, Coronavirus has seen to that. Generally, this is a popular day for people to converge on parks, beaches, and backyards. Those of you in New York have also enjoyed the Caribbean Carnival on Eastern Parkway.
This year many of our get-togethers may be via zoomification or other online resources. Though we are not able to break bread or compete at various family and friends pick up games; We can choose a small safe get together to relax, reflect, and recharge.
Whatever your choice, let's make the best of this holiday.
Happy Labor Day Friends!
