Gloria Steinem said once:
Work is valued by the social value of the worker.
What a nice way of thinking!
That perfectly matches with what we're doing in this community on a daily basis. The true value in this eco-system is generated through social interaction. That's basically what I love most about this place :-)
Back to the headline: Today is 'International Worker's Day', which is also known as 'Labour Day' or 'Worker's Day'. It's a celebration of the 'working class' and a national public holiday in many countries worldwide.
Do you live at a place where this event is commemorated today? From my personal point of view, the 'Worker's Day' is one of the most important public holidays we have.
To celebrate and recognize work is a great way of appreciating people's contribution to the economy and society.
Working means providing value as well as it is a symbol for wealth and opportunity in life. So I hereby congratulate everybody who's so furtunate to have a job and get a living!
Now can you guess from the picture what the setting for my today's vlog was? I can anticipate that this is not the beach, haha :-)
Well if you're into graffity and hip hop music, then you'll probably enjoy these 60 seconds of sunshine anyways.
Have a great day, whether you're blessed with some leisure time or not...
Much love

Here in Australia in my state of Victoria we have a Labour Day public holiday in March. But happy May Day! I agree that it is one of the most important public holidays we have. I think lots of Australians are unfortunately a little apathetic when it comes to keeping solidarity with the workers, even though our Labour Day commemorates the achievement of the eight-hour day all the way back in 1855. The country was really quite progressive back then. I retain hope that people will be the most important part of our massive economy, not big business :)

Great comment, @sue-stevenson! Thank you :-)
If this was an article, I'd resteem it right away!
Maybe nowadays the true value of human labour is not always appreciated the way it should be... Great and important reminder, thank you!

I think it's true that our labour is totally unappreciated. Alomg with our bodies. If we can't slice ourselves thin enough to fit on some corporation's spreadsheet then we don't matter.
Luckily a new wave is coming :)

US here: We have a Labour Day holiday, but it's on the first Monday in September, so... it's gonna take another while until we can celebrate the fruits of our labor :-)
Looking it up... On Hawaii, they celebrate Lei Day today. Never heard about it before, but it sounds like a lot of fun.

Oh that looks nice! Thanks for the link, just googled it and got a screen full of multi-coloured flowers.
I only knew Layday so far which means actually lazy day - when you're taking a day off from surfing :-)
In September you'll be the one telling us about your day off then...;-)
Thanks for stopping by @lisaliebeslust (the 2nd part of the nick is German right?)

Happy May Day! Too bad us Americans celebrate it by going to work as usual; my coworkers in India though got the day off
I'm guess the setting was a skate park? Where people skateboard and bike around? Yeah yeah such a bad guess

I saw you and @yallapapi's dialogue in his comment section, it was a quite entertaining read, feels like both of you guys are "right" in a way, “there are two sides to every coin” I guess even a SBD or STEEM... =)

Yay!!! It’s May Day and here in my country it’s workers day and so all workers are kinda glad cause it’s a public holiday so no work. The roads are free and everyone is taking the advantage of this day to rest and enjoy their short holiday. For water girl, it’s a perfect day to surf the ocean and have some real fun . Have a blessed day too my friend

I am living in pakistan... here we celebrated labour day as a national holiday.. i agree to u that this day is to recognize the services of all the workers but i have noticed on unjust and that is when everyone was celebrating the holiday the labour was still working.. many of the workers even didn't know about this day.. so if we cant give rest to a labour for one day then we have no right to celebrate this holiday @mussakhan

Before I read the post (I'll do it for sure) I'd like to imagine what would you do on worker's day... Seeing that you are a surfer girl and that this is your free day I think you would go and surf, skate and pass time with your family.
now, let's read and see if I'm wrong ;)
