International Mother Language Day
– On this day in 1952, students demonstrating for recognition of
their mother language, Bangla (one of two Pakistani languages) were
shot and killed by police in Dhaka. So, nearly 50 years later, the
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
chose this day to promote the preservation of all languages used by
people all over the world. So feel free to speak your mother
language today. I am.
Card Reading Day – This is a
day to dig out all those cards you kept for whatever reason and
stuffed in a drawer or a box somewhere. Read them again today and
reminisce over good times. I have all of the Mother's Day cards my
children and my husband have given me so I'm going to be looking at
those today.
National Sticky Bun Day – I haven't found a gluten free sticky bun yet that is as good as one made with regular flour, but I'm going to dedicate today to continuing my search. The rest of you, enjoy your sticky buns.
To celebrate today, speak in your
mother language all day today while you eat sticky buns and read all
of the cards you have kept over the years.
