Labor Day, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers in other words, we the people. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers (the average American) have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

In 1882 it began being celebrated and became a national holiday in 1884. The form that the observance and celebration of Labor Day should take were outlined in the first proposal of the holiday — a street parade to exhibit to the public "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations" of the community, followed by a festival for the recreation and amusement of the workers and their families. We the people are a vital force of labor adding to the highest standard of living and the greatest production that is realized in our economic and political lives. We are a light to the rest of the world.

So today we celebrate you! Happy Labor Day! Have you made plans for having fun today? Are you on course to live your best life now? Celebrate today as your day for the achievements that you have accomplished. Celebrate today for the freedom from depression. You have struggled... you have labored day after day in your struggle to break from depression.

Seek the light from within you to guide you. Enjoy the celebration of your best life now. You can do it one step at a time! Together we can make a difference in understanding depression and celebrating our best life now!
