Most of us have a tendency to take life far too seriously. In our quest to get ahead, in our quest to keep focused and reach our goals, we forget that we are supposed to have fun.
So we regularly need wake-up calls – you know, those little nudges to make us pause, realize that we have been too serious and relax. There are may ways we can do this. Let me tell you about one I discovered this week. It is a Website.
Holiday Insights
Yes, the name of it is Holiday Insights and the web address is www.holidayinsights.com.
What’s so great about this website? Well it lets you know each month what holidays are being celebrated on days that month. It also tells you about special celebrations each month and also those days someone went to a lot of trouble to have designated as a day to remember. Most of these are designed to sell a product and some are noteworthy. However, you do have people add those just to catch our attention and are just plain odd and quirky.
Let me tell you about some of the unique celebrations and special days during the month of March.
There are two different celebrations during the second week in March
National Bubble Week and Crochet Week
I don’t have anything against you people who crochet. Celebrate and enjoy yourself this week. However, National Bubble Week brings out the kid in me. I just want to go out, get a bottle of bubbles and just blow bubbles every day during the week. I like to catch people off guard. So if you see someone approaching you and suddenly they’re blowing bubbles (You know – an adult who should not be blowing bubbles – that’s probably me). I hope I made you laugh.
Then there are some really bizarre special days during the month of March. Here are some that caught my attention:
-
3/8 – Be Nasty Day (Just imagine that. Here’s a day that you can be nasty to anyone else. When they ask why, you can say that on this day you get a free pass to be that way.)
-
3/9 – Panic Day (After being nasty to all those people yesterday, you panic wondering if you will have any friends left.)
-
3/15 – Everything You Think Is Wrong Day ( Today you can be the total pessimist. You are allowed to think that everything is going wrong. You can get rid of all you worry in one day.)
-
3/16 – Everything You Do Is Right Day (Today you get to be the optimist. This makes up for yesterday.)
-
3/18 – Supreme Sacrifice Day (Today you get to tell your spouse or your kids that you are making the supreme sacrifice for them. It’s sure to get you sympathy.)
- 3/22 National Goof Day (Today you can do anything you want except what you are supposed to. If someone questions why you are doing what you are doing, you just tell them what day it is and that you are entitled.)
- 3/30 I Am In Control Day (Today you get to tell others and by the way yourself that you know what you are doing and that your are really in control.)
There are other special quirky days in March. I just highlighted those which caught my attention. So check out the website.
By the way you don’t have to keep these days to yourself. Just imagine the reaction you would get from your spouse, a relative or friend if you sent them an email or an ecard letting them know what special occasion is being celebrated on any given day and inviting them to join you in celebrating it. Just imagine how you will laugh when you send it. Picture the smile that comes to their face as they read it.
Celebrate the special days in March in some unique way and remember – Have Fun.
