National Empanada Day – You
can turn almost anything into an empanada by wrapping it in bread
dough. That makes them a pretty portable, easily packed lunch
option.
All Is Ours Day – Look around
you today and notice all of the wonderful things that the world
provides for us. Then realize that much of what you see belongs to
everyone, not just you. So don't be greedy.
Draw A Picture Of A Bird Day –
Begun in the 1940's in the United Kingdom, this is a day to draw
pictures of birds. Originally, you could only use pencils, then some
years ago, crayons were added as an acceptable drawing implements.
Just recently, computer drawing packages were allowed as well.
Enjoy.
Buddha Day – Known as Vesakha,
or Buddha's birthday, the date of celebration varies depending on
which culture's calender you follow. The Chinese calendar places the
day on the 8th day of the 4th month, which
would be today. On this day Buddhists are expected to gather at
their temples for a day full of symbolism and reflection upon
Buddha's words.
Trading Cards For Grown-Ups Day –
Trading cards are not just for kids, grown ups can get into the
action today too, without feeling like they are silly.
To celebrate today, draw some lovely
pictures of birds, then locate a Buddhist Temple in your area and
leave them on the doorstep as a respectful gift in honor of Buddha.
Then run to the store and get some trading cards in the sport of your
choice. When you get home, eat your lunch of empanada's outside so
that you can look around and find the things in the world around you
that you share with everyone else like the warm, energy producing
sunshine, and the beautiful flowers that the bees and insects use for
food, and the oxygen-providing trees.
