Religious Holidays
WORLD COMMUNION SUNDAY is about deepening our relationship with God through Christ and bringing the church closer together. I would say that is very much needed.
A Tip of the Hat Goes to…
We give a tip of the ball cap to NATIONAL COACHES DAY. For some, it’s a paid profession, for others, a volunteer position. We thank everyone who gets out there to teach, lead and manage us and our teams. You are making a difference.
Awareness Spotlight shines on…
Our awareness spotlight today shines on WORLD CEREBRAL PALSY DAY. Over 17 million people deal with cerebral palsy that affects mostly kids and stays through adulthood. This issue needs awareness, funding and research so that cures and treatments can be found and improved upon.
Women Rock, Inc. founded PLUS SIZE APPRECIATION DAY in 2016 to show that everyone is beautiful. Be proud of who you are and what you look like. My take on this is that you were made by God and God doesn’t make mistakes.
Art, in all of its forms is central to NATIONAL GOE DAY. Growth-Overcome-Empower are key elements to those who have suffered abuse and trauma. This day looks to connect them with art. Museums, libraries, and galleries can all be great places to provide a safe, healing atmosphere and help those who need it.
Education and Information
Speaking of God, it is also BRING YOUR BIBLE TO SCHOOL DAY. It is perfectly acceptable and legal to take your Bible to school – as long as you read it in your free time and do not disrupt any classes with it. You can also discuss your beliefs with others – just remember to respect the institution you are attending.
GERMAN AMERICAN DAY is celebrated by Presidential Proclamation every year to honor the original German families who came to America on this day in 1683. We, as a country, are proud to be a melting pot of cultures and the German influence is quite prevalent in a lot of places.
INBOX ZERO DAY aims to get our email countdown to 0. There are apps and professionals that can help control the daily deluge that comes to your inbox. Seeing as how I have 12,591 in my inbox, I may want to check into that.
For Fun
Time for a little silliness with MAD HATTERS DAY. It is the perfect day to wear a goofy hat, ask quirky riddles or enjoy some tea since “10/6” is tucked into the hat of Lewis Carroll’s character.
On Today’s Menu…
NATIONAL NOODLE DAY has us reaching for the pot of water to cook our favorite noodles. There are so many different noodles and dishes to choose from – I gotta go with a baked mostaccioli or some manicotti.
Let’s raise a toast to NATIONAL ORANGE WINE DAY. Don’t worry, no oranges were harmed in the making of this wine. Instead, winemakers put white grapes through a process similar to what red grapes go through – giving this vintage its distinct color. Hmmm, pasta and wine – sounds like dinner to me.
