National I Want You To Be Happy Day –
Today is all about being unselfish and doing what will make someone
else happy.
If Pets Had Thumbs Day – Thank
goodness our pets do not have thumbs (unless your pet is a monkey).
I can only imagine what my dog would get into if he did. While it's
amusing to contemplate, it would not be so amusing to clean up.
National Anthem Day – The United
States adopted The Star-Spangled Banner as its National Anthem on
this day in 1931. A good choice, if you ask me, although they
didn't.
Peach Blossom Day – Peach blossoms
belong to peach trees which were first cultivated in China and South
Asia. A beautiful and delicate looking flower, I'm wondering if they
smell like peaches.
National Mulled Wine Day – I've never
had this but my research says that it is a red wine combined with
spices and you can sip it to chase away the chill of a wintery day.
It's worth a try. Winter's getting old now and I'm ready for spring.
Namesake Day – This day kicks off a
whole week of name related days. Maybe because it's Celebrate Your
Name Week this week. Today you can start the week off right by
giving some thought to your name. Who named you? Why did whoever
named you give you the name you have? Are you named after someone?
Who else is using your name? Many things to ponder today.
To celebrate today, contemplate who
your namesake is so you can explain it to your children and
coworkers. Then you can have some mulled wine and sing the National
Anthem while you paint some peach blossoms on the wall of your boss's
office because you know it will make him/her happy. When you get
home to find the mess that Fido left for you, be thankful he didn't
have any thumbs because if he did, the mess would be a whole lot
bigger.
