World Cat Day - Begun in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare in conjunction with other animal rights groups, this is a day to honor cats of all sizes, shapes and colors. If anyone has any cute cat photos, please post them to either my Facebook page or my Twitter account. I love cute cat photos.
National Dollar Day - The Continental Congress created our monetary system on this day in 1786. We didn’t have dollar bills then because no one believed paper had any value. But we did have coins of various values and it quickly became part of our language.
National Frozen Custard Day – A little bit different from ice cream, but just as delicious in my opinion.
The Date to Create – This is a day to be creative. It seems to be celebrated on the eighth because “eight” rhymes with “create”. I couldn't find much more information about this day so I guess it means you can be creative in any manner you like whether it is in an artistic field or an inventive one or any other field you care to embark on.
National Zucchini Day – This is a day to cook with zucchini. If you have some growing in your garden, they are best when they are on the small side. But if they get away from you and get too big, you can always make delicious zucchini bread, which is my children’s preferred method of eating this particular vegetable.
Universal & International Infinity Day – Created by Jean-Pierre Ady Fenyo in 1987, a Philosopher and Science-Fiction author, also known as The Original New York City Free Advice Man. This day is to be celebrated with peaceful and non-violent demonstrations for freedom of expression, freedom of speech and ethics in society and philosophical inquiry. It is called Infinity Day because most philosophers agree that the idea of infinity is the ultimate idea that the human mind can conceive of.
Happiness Happens Day – This day was created by the Secret Society of Happy People. On this day in 1998, the Society signed up it's first member who was not related to the founder so they chose this day for their first Happiness Happens Day in 1999. It doesn't really say how this day should be celebrated on the web site, but I imagine the goal is to find happiness no matter what happens today. http://sohp.com/
Odie Day – Garfield fans will know right away that Odie is the dog that lives with Garfield. He's pretty goofy and is constantly slobbering all over everyone and everything. He first appeared in the comic on this day in 1978 and has been a fixture ever since.
Assistance Dog Day - Celebrated on the Monday of Assistance Dog Week, this is a day to honor the dogs who assist us on a daily basis. Not everyone needs one, but if you do, you don’t need me to tell you how important they are to your ability to get through the day. Dogs are incredibly smart and can be trained to do amazing things to help people who are blind, deaf, suffer from maladies like PTSD and so much more.
