National Lacy Oatmeal Cookie Day –
Mmmmm...cookies. Who doesn't like cookies, no matter what kind they
are. And, these cookies must be healthy! They have oatmeal in them,
after all.
Goddess Of Fertility Day – I cannot
find a reliable source for this day so I don't know when it was
created. But it seems to celebrate Aphrodite, the ancient Greek
goddess of love and fertility. I was going to post a picture of her for you but most of the pictures on the web are of her naked or partially naked and this is not that kind of blog.
Biodiesel Day – Today is Rudolph
Diesel's birthday. He invented the diesel engine which interestingly
enough ran on peanut oil

Well-Elderly or Wellderly Day – today
is a day to focus on the health and well-being of the elderly.
Supreme Sacrifice Day – This is a day
that honors those who have made a supreme sacrifice for others, maybe
even for you. There have been many in our lifetime, many more if you
go back further in time. Soldiers, firemen and firewomen, policemen
and policewomen, neighbors and friends and even total strangers.
Some of these heroes gave up their lives to save another.
Forgive Mom And Dad Day – This is a
day to realize that children do not come with instruction manuals.
As parents, all any of us can do is make the best decisions we can
with the information we have available to us. For example, if your
parents smoked in the house when you were a kid before the effects of
second hand smoke were known to cause health problems for kids,
forgive them because they probably would never have done it if they
knew it would hurt you.
Awkward Moments Day – We've all had
at least one awkward moment in our lives. Some of us have had many
of them. Celebrate them today and maybe laugh at yourself a little
now that you've had some time to get over the awkward feelings,
perhaps the humor in the situation can peek out at you now.
To celebrate today, dress up in some
drapy Aphrodite-inspired robes and make some lacy oatmeal cookies to
snack on. In fact, bring them to share while you go and check on the
well being of your elderly relatives or neighbors. Then, hop into
your biodiesel fuel propelled vehicle and find someone who has made a
huge sacrifice for someone else, maybe you, and thank them profusely.
When you get home, call your parents and tell them that you forgive
them. After that awkward moment sits there for a while, (you can
laugh about it later) you might explain why you are forgiving them.
