Labour Day

If you celebrate the upcoming Labour Day Weekend – enjoy.

If you aren’t blessed with a holiday long weekend, give yourself one. Play hooky on Monday.

And if you’re at a loss as to what to do over the weekend (or anytime), remember:

“Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.”

Pooh's Little Instruction Book - A. A. Milne

I’ll be away – “…just going along, listening…and not bothering…”

Have a blissful weekend Beth ♥ and truly, the wisdom of Pooh is nothing to be sneezed at. He was a very insightful bear!!

Yes – enjoy many hours of doing nothing! (Wish I could, but I'll be hosting my sister's 50th birthday...ah well...)

"Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing"

I love it when you say things like that! My motto completely. Unfortunately, I'll be moving over it. New house and all...

Have a great time doin' nothin'! Sounds wonderful!

Think of me. I'll have a drill in my mouth! : ) Ha Ha. I'm being dramatic! One more session!

I've had 4 weeks of doing nada, so I gotta get back in gear for the school year!

And, why does Sherry mention Pooh in the past tense?

You have a wonderful weekend too.

I LOVE Winnie sayings. Great mottos for life in those treasured books.

Aha, the value of doing nothing is but about missing nothing as a result :)

Oh I'll be taking a break, don't you worry! In fact, this weekend is devoted to homework and reading so I don't have to do anything on Monday. I can't wait!

Hey, have a great weekend.

I've always loved that honey-loving bear....

I have no qualms about doing nothing, just don't tell me to do it, okay? Enjoy your holiday (not that I'm telling you what to do).

I always feel sorry for the sort of twitchy people who have been brainwashed into thinking that they always have to be doing something. I love to do nothing -- if my children will allow it!
