Daytona Pole Day – This is the race
that determines who leads the pack of cars at the start of the
Daytona 500 next week.
My Way Day – Do you have trouble with
people trying to tell you what to do or get you to change the way you
do things? I certainly do. Well, today you can tell them to stuff
it because you're doing things MY way. I mean, YOUR way. Oh, you
know what I mean.
National PTA Founders Day – The PTA
was founded on this day in 1897. It was created to support parent
involvement in the education of children and has been going strong
ever since.
World Human Spirit Day – We celebrate
this day by silently meditating for 2 minutes at 3pm EST in order to
come together with the rest of the world with our minds and spirits
and celebrate our connection with the rest of the human race. Our
goal is to request peace and harmony in the world. The more people
participate, the greater the connection will be. The people who
created it in 2003 say that as you meditate together, there will
hopefully be enough people doing it at the same time that you will be
able to feel this greater connection to the world.
National Champion Crab Races Day – I
was astounded to discover that there is a National Crab Racing
Association. They race hermit crabs professionally. I'm not sure
whether the hermit crabs are also considered professionals. But if
you and your friends have some hermit crabs, consider having a race
today.
Random Acts Of Kindness Day – This is
the wrap up to Random Acts Of Kindness Week. Find something nice to
do for someone or maybe even multiple someones. Don't wait to be
asked, and don't wait around for thanks. Strike fast, do good, and
be gone. Hopefully it will be contagious.
To celebrate today's holidays, call
your friends and your children's teachers and your friend's
children's teachers (hermit crabs make good class pets) and track
down a good group of hermit crabs to race in your living room.
Seriously, they will freeze outside so get over the yuck factor. Try
to time it so that the race is over and everyone is still there at
3pm so you can meditate together. If they don't want to, just tell
them they need to do it my way today, I mean your way, you know what
I mean. If this is a group of parents and teachers, why not have an
impromptu PTA meeting as well. Then you can randomly give them
presents as they run screaming from your house, open their car doors
for them, close their car doors for them (watch out for fingers and
toes) and help them get started by giving them a good push. That
should be enough kindness for one day. You'll be tired after all
that so you can finish up the day by watching the Daytona Pole race
which may put you to sleep if you're not a fan.
