Law Enforcement Appreciation Day - This is a day for citizens of our country to show our appreciation for the Law Enforcement Officers who step between us and danger every single day. They put their lives on the line to save us, they run toward danger while we are running away. They are heroes who deserve to know that we support them.
International Choreographer’s Day - Born on this day in 1904, George Balanchine was one of the greatest choreographers of the world. In his memory, we honor all choreographers today. They have the unique ability to match movement to music, to see what will look good before it even happens.
National Word Nerd Day - This is a day for all those people out there who love words. Using words, learning new words, making up new words, spelling words, and correcting punctuation everywhere you see errors.
National Apricot Day – Apricots are one of my daughter's favorite fruits. Full of Vitamin A and beta-carotene, they are a delicious and nutritious option if you get tired of peaches.
Play God Day – This is meant to be a day where you are inspired to do something good for someone else, but people seem to be wary of well meaning interference that causes more problems than it solves so be cautious of your choice of good deed.
Panama's Martyr Day – This is a day for Panamanians to salute the martyrdom of soldiers who lost their lives on this day in 1964, defending their nation. Many other countries also celebrate Martyr Day, but they do it on different days of the year depending on their unique historical events.
National Static Electricity Day – We've all experienced static electricity. Well today you can show your kids how static electricity will make balloons stick to walls. This Bill Nye the Science Guy video will help.
Balloon Ascension Day – Dig out that hot air balloon you've been keeping in the closet. Today is the day to blow it up and take a ride. This day in 1793 was apparently the first recorded trip in a hot air balloon by Jean Pierre Blanchard and was witnessed by General George Washington.
National Poetry at Work Day – This is a day to bring poetry to work or find poetry that is already there. I would not recommend taking time to compose poetry while you are at work unless that is already your job, because I don't want you to get fired. But it would probably be acceptable to bring your favorite poem and post it somewhere where it can be enjoyed, or recite it to your co-workers in the break room. I’m sure they will be very supportive. This day is celebrated on the second Tuesday in January.
