Yep, it’s that time again.
Two this month for most of the UK and at least one for most of the world.
May is a magic month for a long weekend or a national holiday.
And other than a few exceptions, the majority of countries take a day to celebrate ‘Workers’.
Like any special day, it’s worth taking a moment to remember what it stands for.
International Workers' Day, labour (labor) day is celebrated by many on May 1st (or the next Monday).
Workers, grafters, people who work hard – very hard.
I sometimes feel a fake when I believe I’ve been 'working hard'.
My grandad worked his whole life in a coal mine.
I know fishermen who go to sea whatever the weather so we can enjoy fresh fish.
Roofers, who’ll strip an old roof and slate a new one in a day.
Hotel housekeepers who turn 12 rooms in 8 hours.
This May, if you’re enjoying a day off, give a thought to
grafters.
Whose work do you admire?
Give them a shout in the comments here.
Be Brilliant!
