Today is the 4th day of the 9th week, the 27th day of the 2nd month, the 58th day of 2019, and: - Anosomia Awareness Day – one does tend to take the sense of smell for granted, only grumbling when a stuffy nose from a cold or allergy impairs it.
- Inconvenience Yourself Day -- founded in 2006 by Julie Thompson because “A lot of times I’d be out in my own little world, ignoring everyone around me, and I’m not as conscious as I should be about how I’m impacting other people”
- International Polar Bear Day
- National Kahlua Day -- Kahlúa is a coffee-flavored liqueur from Mexico. The drink contains rum, sugar, vanilla bean, and arabica coffee
- National Retro Day -- Hermelinda A. Aguilar and Robert and Tina Duran founded National Retro Day to take a look back at how life was before social media, the internet and smartphones became a necessity of our daily lives
- National Strawberry Day – tired of winter? Strawberries are the first fruit to ripen every year, so they are often called the “taste of spring.”
- No-Brainer Day – a day for kicking back and not having to analyze and plan every little thing because you are sticking to things that are simple, easy, and logical
- Pink Shirt Day
- Pokémon Day -- commemorates the launch of the first Pokémon video games in 1996. This year there are no added Stardust or XP bonuses outlined for the event, but there will be some special Pokémon available
- World NGO Day – celebrating the work that non-governmental organizations are doing
- World Retrospective Day - a volunteer-based, globally coordinated effort to share in the power of retrospectives [generally, is a look back at events that took place, or works that were produced, in the past. As a noun, retrospective has specific meanings in medicine, software development, popular culture and the arts]
It appears that many so-called holidays are actually just hyping themselves. Establishing a holiday appears to be rather simply – just get on a calendar like Chase’s Calendar of Events [it’s free if you are accepted and published every fall for the next year] by picking a day, explaining what you want to celebrate and how folks can celebrate with you, then promote it via social media. In the US, Congress does have to vote to make a “national” holiday official while official “world” holidays are passed by UN Resolution.
In a way, it is a good idea to celebrate every day, to have something that lifts your spirits out of the ordinary, humdrum
