My Way Day – Do you have
trouble with people trying to tell you what to do or trying to get
you to change the way you do things? I certainly do. Well, today
you can tell them to stuff it because you're doing things MY way. I
mean, YOUR way. Oh, you know what I mean.
National PTA Founders Day –
The PTA was founded on this day in 1897, although it was originally
called the National Congress of Mothers. It was created by Alice
Birney and Phoebe Hearst to support parent involvement in the
education of children and has been going strong ever since.
World Human Spirit Day – We
celebrate this day by silently meditating for 2 minutes at 3pm EST in
order to come together with the rest of the world with our minds and
spirits and celebrate our connection with the rest of the human race.
Our goal is to request peace and harmony and healing in the world.
The more people participate, the greater the connection will be. The
people who created it in 2003 say that as you meditate together,
there will hopefully be enough people doing it at the same time that
you will be able to feel a connection to the rest of the world.
National Champion Crab Races Day
– I was astounded to discover that there is a National Crab Racing
Association. These are people who race hermit crabs professionally.
I'm not sure whether the hermit crabs are also considered
professionals. But if you and your friends have some hermit crabs,
consider having a race today.
Random Acts Of Kindness Day –
This is the wrap up to Random Acts Of Kindness Week. Find something
nice to do for someone or maybe even multiple someones. Don't wait
to be asked, and don't wait around for thanks. Strike fast, do good,
and be gone. Hopefully it will be contagious. The creator of this
day is Josh de Jong, a New Zealander, I think.
Washington's Birthday –
A United States Federal holiday that is celebrated on the third
Monday of February, this is a day to honor our first President,
George Washington. Some states have combined this day with Abraham
Lincoln's birthday to make.....
President's Day –
A day to celebrate our past Presidents, Abraham Lincoln and George
Washington in a combined celebration. Not all states combine the
days like this so if you live in a state that has individual Lincoln
and Washington days, please feel free to ignore this one.
To celebrate today, join your local PTA
and organize a crab race in all of the schools in your area. If
someone else tries to take over and tell you to do it differently,
tell them you're doing it your way. Meditate at 3pm EST for two
minutes and head to the library to find books on Washington and
Lincoln to read to your children. Perform a random act of kindness
while you are there and hold doors open for people and pick up
anything that anyone drops. Maybe you can even help someone find a
book they are looking for.
