When you have to work, even on the holiday, you should be able to take some time off.

Choose your day, week or month and then, make the day special in some way.

• Dress up.
• Go out.
• Do something you have been wanting to do…

Or, just do nothing.

Choose the way you can celebrate.

• With family, large or small gatherings.
• With friends, the family you choose.
• With the strangers you meet and connect with in some way or another.

Smile, laugh, and do not be surprised if you see them again in the most coincidental places.

Choose to not work, if you can…because even on the holiday there is always work to be done, even if it is just for your family. Thankful for those who cook for us today, it is very generous. We have been well fed, happy and grateful all day.
