Today is:
Kiss and Make up Day
That's it. This day only has one thing. I'm sad. As much as I like the idea of Kiss and Make up Day, it seems so lonely to have only one thing on this day.
How 'bout we make it Snapper Turtle Appreciation Day. I like Snapper Turtles. My brother and his best friend found one once, its shell was at least a foot across and they brought it home by getting it to snap onto a branch and then lifting that branch to their shoulders and walking home with it. It refused to let go of the branch the entire two mile walk back home and, in fact, held onto until nightfall, when we assume it finally decided that the stick was dead and finally let go and crawled away.
Perhaps it could be Enjoy the Solitude day. It's hard for people in our society to enjoy silence and being alone. It seems everyone needs noise and chaos, as if that external stimulus proves that we are alive. Or perhaps we are just not comfortable enough with ourselves to spend time alone with just us. There is a great deal of benefit to being able to meditate. To sit alone and quiet and to enjoy peace that comes with solitude.
