Today we celebrate:
National Step In A Puddle And Splash Your Friend Day – I don't know where this day came from and I don't care. Watch out for those puddles because I'm right behind you!

Milk Day – On this day in 1878, milk was delivered in bottles for the first time. Not something I ever really thought about before but now I wonder how people got milk before then. Did someone wander the neighborhood with their cow filling pails for whoever asked?

Cigarettes Are Hazardous To Your Health Day – I know that this will come as a shock to some of you but I assure you that it is true. So quit today and start on a new and healthier you.

Learn Your Name In Morse Code Day – Use the translator on this web site: http://www.glassgiant.com/geek/morse/ and have fun tapping it out to your co-workers.

National Human Trafficking Awareness Day – It's hard to think about things like this sometimes but tragically it is true that in this day and age people are still bought and sold like commodities. And I do not like to even try to contemplate the way they are mistreated as if their lives have no meaning. All life is precious and everyone deserves to be loved and treasured by someone.

International Thank You Day – Today is a day to appreciate everyone in your life, even someone who usually annoys you. Make sure you take the time to thank everyone for something today. Just think, maybe you'll start a trend that will spread around the world.

Secret Pal Day – Shhh! Don't tell anyone that you are the one who left that cute little gift on your friend's desk at work.

We have a busy day today. We have to contemplate the value of human life, quit smoking, drink a glass of milk, learn your name in Morse Code, thank everyone for everything, and leave a secret gift for a friend. That last one is especially important because after all you need to cheer them up after you jumped in a puddle and splashed them. It's the only decent thing to do.  Have a surprising day today!
