National Lovers' Day – Less
well known, hyped up and expensive than Valentine's Day. This is a
day to appreciate your lover with a picnic and a bottle of wine, or a
cozy night on the couch eating chips, or a moonlit stroll on the
beach holding hands. Whatever it is the two of you like to do
together, this is the day to do it.
National Zucchini Bread Day –
One of my kid's favorites. They hate zucchini, but if I put it in a
bread product with lots of sugar, suddenly it's ok. Call me
suspicious, but I wonder if it's more because of the sugar than the
zucchini.
Take A Chance Day – Prepare
yourself because today you will be moving outside of your comfort
zone. It means different things to different people but whatever it
is you are comfortable doing, do the opposite today. Take a chance
and expose yourself to new experiences.
World Laboratory Day –
Sometimes it seems like we live in one giant laboratory. The ones in
the schools where our children are learning different sciences. The
forensic laboratories that the police use to solve crimes. The
medical laboratories where diseases are studied in the hopes of
finding cures or blood samples are studied so we can find out what is
wrong with us. I could go on and on but you'll stop reading so I
won't.
National Teach Your Children To Save
Day – If we do not want to raise the next group of debtors, we
need to teach our children how to save their money. Many financial
institutions visit schools on this day to talk to the kids about how
important it is.
Talk Like Shakespeare Day –
England's National Poet, and one of the greatest poets and playwrights
ever. Today you should grab one of his works and bone up on your
Shakespearian language skills because you will be talking like one
today on the anniversary of his death in 1616.
World Book and Copyright Day
(International Day of the Book) – The day was officially begun
in 1995, but in 1932, Spanish booksellers connected this day to the
date of the burial of author Miguel de Cervantes according to the
Gregorian Calendar. Then England jumped in and decided that they
would indeed celebrate this holiday but it was because Shakespeare
died on this day according to the Julian Calendar. However, the
interesting thing is that because of the use of different calendars
by the different countries, the two men seem to have died on the same
day, but Shakespeare actually died 11 days after de Cervantes.
To celebrate today, get out your
favorite Shakespeare play and bone up on your Shakespearian language
because that is how you will communicate with people today. It will
make teaching your children about saving their money a challenge, but
take a chance and go for it while you ply them with zucchini bread to
get them to sit still long enough to listen. Then, read them your
favorite Shakespeare play so they can enjoy him as well. Next, you
can turn your kitchen into a laboratory while you mix certain
ingredients, apply heat where appropriate in order to change the
chemical composition of the original ingredients and magically create
a cherry cheesecake that you can later share with your lover while
you snuggle on the couch watching a movie.
