Diwali
– Known as the “Festival of Lights”, this is a Hindu festival
and is an official holiday in India and many other surrounding
nations. It is a day when families gather together, clean the house
and light small clay lamps filled with oil which signify the triumph
of good over evil. The lamps are kept on in the clean house in order
to welcome the goddess Lakshmi and make her feel at home.
Zero Tasking Day – This is the day that marks the end of Daylight Savings Time. So we turn our clocks back an hour and gain an extra hour of time. Your job today is to not fill that hour with more stressful work. Use it to decompress, reenergize yourself and maybe even get an extra hour of sleep.
National
Sandwich Day – Born
on this day 295 years ago, the Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu, is
believed to be the first inventor of the sandwich. There are so many
things that you can do with a sandwich and I, for one, am grateful to
him for inventing this convenient way of eating.
Housewife's Day – This is a day to honor the over-worked and under-appreciated housewife. Not everyone is able to be a housewife, either because they don't want to be or because they have no choice but to work outside the home to support their families. Nothing wrong with it either way, just make sure what whatever choices you make in your life, do not devalue the women who make different choices. Housewives work very hard, so take a well-deserved break today, put up your feet and do whatever you need to do to relax.
To
celebrate today, relax over a sandwich, then light your clay lamps
and bask in your extra hour of do nothing time.
