Today I'm thankful for...
Labor Day!
Okay, I'll be completely honest. I didn't really know what Labor Day was beyond getting a day off work, the unofficial end of summer, and the end of being able to wear white shoes and pants (because Southern people stick to fashion traditions...winter white my foot...). So, I took a look at the U.S. Department of Labor's Website and found that Labor Day is "a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country." I'm still not 100% sure what it is, but at least I'll have a smart-sounding definition to use if someone asks me about it.
