"If you work all the time and never really take a vacation, start a new ritual that honors the original spirit of Labor Day. Give yourself the day off. Don't go in to work. Shut off your phone, computer, and other electronic devices connecting you to your daily grind. Then go to a barbecue, like the original participants did over a century ago, and celebrate having at least one day off from work during the year!"

From "Have we forgotten the true meaning of Labor Day?" by Jay L. Zagorsky, Senior Lecturer at Boston University.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Have a great and restful Labor Day, everybody!
