Today we celebrate:

National Moscato Day – I've never had this kind of wine before, but today is as good a day as any to try something new. Enjoy a glass today, just be careful about how much you drink if you have to drive home.

Occupational Safety &Health Professionals Day - Celebrated since 2006, this is a day to recognize the commitment of occupational safety, health, and environmental professionals to protect people, their property and the environment. These are the people who work hard to identify and remove workplace hazards in all organizations. This is a two day celebration so if you're thinking you have deja vu, you don't. You really did see it yesterday.

Lost Sock Memorial Day – I have a drawer that has plenty of single socks. I have no idea where the lost socks go but I suspect that my daughter, who wears the same size now and NEVER matches her socks (some sort of fashion trend), swiped them. I've never really believed the whole washing machine sock stealing conspiracy theory.

Ascension Day – Also known as the Feast of the Ascension, this day commemorates the bodily Ascension of Jesus Christ into Heaven and is celebrated by Christian Churches.

School Nurse Day – School nurses take care of our children's bumps, bruises, cuts, scrapes and illnesses every day. They are vital to the health and wellness of our children in public and private schools. Today is a day to let them know how much we appreciate them.

National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day – Created by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration in 1994, this is a day to focus on our children's mental health. If needed, there are a multitude of resources available to families that need assistance with this goal. http://www.samhsa.gov/children/

To celebrate today, open up your washing machine and see if your lost socks somehow got stuck in there. Just be careful that you don't take it apart too much and then can't put it back together. Then stop into church to celebrate Christ's Ascension on the way to your children's school to thank the nurse for his/her hard work on your children's behalf. Make sure you give them your leftover occupational safety leaflets from last night. Finish up the day with a lovely glass of moscato.
