So the Wiccans celebrate May Day?

I was always taught to believe it was Working class Public Holiday.

May Day was originally a pagan Holy Day that goes back hundreds of years. I thought it came from Britain but found out the Romans celebrated it. It is considered a secular public holiday for contemporary society.

Mayday...also a call for help, which we could all use these days.

Interesting. That it comes from the Romans.
I know the trade unions were very big on May Day. Because to them it was a Public Holiday.
And years ago, the trade unions were big supporters of any paid time off for the working class.

We seem to have lost so much Trade Union protection these days.
Psychics say they are going to be coming back strong.
But if we are heading towards any kind of change in how and when we work right now. Finland is leading the way.

As Finland’s young prime minister is trying very hard to introduce a 4 day working week .....in Finland.
And a 3 day weekend.

It’s part of a general shift to gettin real about work/life balance.
Companies talk about that concept all the time.
But they in no way support it in reality.
Which is why work/balance does not happen.

We are very overdue in this world for a reduced working week. And this big change.
Young people for hundreds of years have been spending their entire youth working. All the time.
Rarely relaxing enough to enjoy more of life.
As they should be.

Wish this change came in when I was young.
We would have loved it.

But these companies are going to have to face increasing wages. So employees don’t lose out on income. When this change happens in other countries in the future.
Eventually.

Good point. I wonder why May Day is used as a distress signal.

Strange.

The Darling Buds Of May was a good show.

Remember it launched Catherine Zeta Jones' career.

No one had even heard of this Welsh actress until that show.
And then she throws her young life away marrying a man so much older than her, actor, Michael Douglas.

Well I guess marrying him assured her a ticket to Hollywood. And American fame.

But it must be true love.

Cause she stayed with him.

I think Germany has a good work-life balance. Women get mandatory maternity leave. Here in America we are expected to work all we can and get all we can. Nothing better than good old fashioned greed!

Word has it Catherine Zeta-Jones is much older than she claims to be. Too many sources have repeated that rumor so I’m thinking where there’s smoke there’s fire.

Alexandra Grant. More lies? Did she forget she married another person 10 years ago... & is still married... UPDATE...

  I had a dream about Alexandra Grant. (Which in it's self is disturbing)   This is what I saw in the dream.   I SAW...   Alexandra Grant   is married. Not to Keanu Reeves.  T he marriage took place around 9/10 years ago on the  East coast of America.  (Not New York City)   I Saw She was in a  very close relationship with this  "Person" I See she was paid to do this... The person she is married to is of dubious character...   This person has been  "Away"  for quite a while...    (If you know what I mean)   This person is threatening to return..   She will...   To expose the marriage & other criminal behaviors  they both had a part in.    As I write this.   Keanu Reeves & his team.  Do not know of this.    Alexandra,  knows is still legally married. Has her head in the sand. Hoping it will go away...   STAY TUNED...    MORE TO ...
