Today is Labor Day in America. It’s a time set aside to honor those who work hard every day. This holiday is a day of rest for many workers while some have to be on the job to keep things moving. I am glad to be off myself on the fourth day of my four-day weekend. Here’s to all of you who are working today and every day.
Dolly Parton is one of the most talented and hard working people in show business ever. What she has done in her career is generate hit after hit. She also is a great person and businesswoman who has done a lot for so many. Her hit song “9 to 5” is one of those songs that tells the story of a working person that applies to so many people.

Observed on the first Monday in September, Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894. (From History.com)
