Even before COVID, I would have been happy to celebrate this one, but it means even more now. Today is National Personal Space Day. I did NOT grow up in a “huggy” family. Hugs were reserved for special occasions- thinks weddings and funerals. We showed love to each other, just not through physical contact. So I’ve never been someone who… Read more »
We just celebrated Thanksgiving, so everyone is (or at least should) be thinking about everything they have to be thankful for. It’s been a lot time since I’ve done a thankful list, so I think it’s high time to rectify that! Please note these are in no particular order 🙂 #1 Pat. My husband is my best friend and my… Read more »
Today should be a no brainer, but alas, for too many it is not. Today is International Day of Tolerance. Our planet- and our nation- are home to thousands of different cultures/ ethnicities/ skin tones. Today we celebrate our differences and honor everyone’s right as a human being to dress, love, worship and live as they see fit. Today we… Read more »
Recently my husband asked me for my Social Security number. This isn’t too weird, but unusual enough that I asked why. Turns out it was because he was going to an informational class about preplanning his funeral/ cremation (still not 100% sure why he needed my SSN for that, but that’s neither here nor there). He’s only 57 and swears… Read more »
This one’s for the ladies! It’s Men Make Dinner Day. Even if your man is as bad a cook as I am, they have one or two things they can cook. For me, it’s pot roast and pork chops. Maybe your man makes a mean pasta. Or maybe he doesn’t like to cook on the stove but is a grill… Read more »
Today is a very important day- it’s National Coming Out Day. If you are afraid of coming out, please know that there are SO MANY people who will love you just the way you are. Probably many more than you think. I don’t have the T shirt, but I am, and will always be, a safe person to come out… Read more »
Today is National Good Neighbor Day! My husband and I have been blessed with wonderful neighbors. Having good neighbors makes your move more comfortable for sure. Recent polls show that around 25% of us don’t know ANY of our neighbors. I don’t understand how that can be, but I live in a small town. I’m guessing it’s mostly people in… Read more »
Yes, I do mark this day every year. And I will continue to do so until the myths about black cats have been banished. I will continue to do this until black cats are adopted at the same rate as cats of other colors. Black cats rock. Everyone should have one. I have two right now, and if my husband… Read more »
Today is the day to celebrate your siblings and your parents’ siblings. It’s Aunt and Uncle Day! As anyone who knows me even a little bit knows, I LOVE my niece and nephew. They are my pride and joy and I will brag about them to anyone who will listen and even to people who won’t. And on the flip… Read more »
