almost there.....

Today is the 28th day of the 4th month and the 119th day of 2016 with only 240 shopping days until Christmas.  And beware – Mercury has gone retrograde which makes five total planets as Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are all currently retrograde. Today we are celebrating: 
  • Biological Clock Day
  • Brave Hearts Day
  • Great and Holy Thursday: ((Friday’s Eve is always a good day, but only today is “great and holy” apparently))
  • Great Poetry Reading Day AKA Poem In Your Pocket Day
  • National Blueberry Pie Day ((I prefer blueberry cobbler.  With a topping of vanilla ice cream.))
  • National Cubicle Day
  • National Kiss Your Mate Day
  • National Superhero Day
  • Pay it Forward Day
  • Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day
  • Workers' Memorial Day
  • World Day for Safety and Health at Work
On this day:  In 224 the Battle of Hormozdgān was fought  effectively ending the Parthian Empire.  In 1253 Nichiren, a Japanese Buddhist monk, chants the mantra “Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō” for the very first time and declares it to be the essence of Buddhism – and a new sect is born.   In 1788 Maryland became the seventh state to ratify the United States Constitution..  And yes, like the sinking of the Titanic,  Mutiny on the Bounty :was not just a movie and a novel –  it actually happened in 1789.  In 1947 Thor Heyerdahl and five crew mates set out from Peru on the Kon-Tiki to prove that Peruvian natives could have settled Polynesia (( reading his books about his 101-day journey  and then his work on Easter Island when I was in elementary school is what started my obsession with anthropology)).  And in 2001 Dennis Tito, a billionaire businessman from California,  became the world's first space tourist.
 
And tomorrow starts my vacation….
