Bank Holidays... Again

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 like 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 in all 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. The list goes on.

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.

BE BRILLIANT!

Michael
