Laboring the day away!

"In the beginning, God ordained that man should labor, not as a curse, but as a blessing; not as a punishment, but as means of development, physically, mentally, morally, and has set thereunto his seal of approval in the rich increase and reward. By labor is brought forward the kindly fruits of the earth in rich abundance for our sustenance and comfort; by labor (not exhaustive) is promoted health of the body and strength of mind, labor garners the priceless stores of wisdom and knowledge. It is the "Philosopher's Stone," everything it touches turns to wealth."

You can thank the Knights of Labor for having the first Labor Day parade in 1882. (Which was not held on Monday, but a Tuesday - the day I shall return.) So three cheers for the Knights and a big hip-hip-hooray for a day I don't have to come to work.

And, in celebration of labor, I'm doing less of it - a quick post today, no posts this weekend or Monday.

Until my return, enjoy the Labor Day word search...
