The Day After A Holy-Day

Ah,

the

Holy-days,

of any Religion,

the

Holidays,

of American traditions,

the

Birthdays

and

Anniversaries,

of any Family unit.

We need a reason to celebrate a moment in time

and reflect on what it meant to us.

OK,

maybe

need

is too strong of a word,

but I feel,

we at least want to have these days to celebrate,

so we can take time off of work,

or to reflect on our growth as we get older,

or to share those moments with other family members.

We must 

Thank all Religions,

(so they could collect money from their followers,)

by setting aside the first day of rest so we could listen to their sermons

and become better

Human Beings

in the eyes of whatever

God

or

Gods

you follow.

Then,

thanks to

Henry Ford,

who recruited the best workers of the day by offering higher wages than any industrialist at that time,

and by adding another day off for the work force,

Saturday,

if that work force would stay sober while under his employment.

Add those weekend days,

except for you overtime hungry workers,

and all the personal holidays,

Government required Holidays,

and the Religious Holy-days,

you can almost get up to a 1/2 the year off of working if you play your cards right

and find a job that you love to do.

But for most people,

the rock band

The Godfathers

said it best in their song

"Birth, School, Work, Death."

Most of the World's population is satisfied just to have a job to support their families.

Only a few

Make Their Mark

in this World

and are remember forevermore.

This is,

Yes - Still Living In The Alternative 1980s,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“Time erodes gratitude more quickly than it does beauty!” 

- Mario Puzo -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
