What Are we Celebrating Today....

Another day of work. If I didn't need the money so bad, I'd be at Jurassic Park 3D. I do hope Mike and Christopher go.....I will be angry if they don't, as I could have given the passes away.

So...what are we celebrating....

1). I am in Control Day: On March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan was wounded in an assassination attempt. Lots of confusion prevailed, and in the White House, then Secretary of State Alexander Haig was taken a little out of context when he said "I am in control here". Instead of focusing upon the entire statement, people and the press foscused upon these few words, so on that infamous day, I am in Control Day was born. So today, you are in control...take a deep breath and relax. Yeah, right...I never feel in control anymore.

2).National Doctors' Day :This holiday was created to show appreciation to your doctors. Doctors perform vital diagnosis, treatment and care for yourself and your family. Doctors' Day observances date back to March 30, 1933. It was started by Eudora Brown Almond of Winder, Ga., and marks the anniversary of the first use of general anesthesia in surgery. On March 30, 1958, the United States House of Representatives adopted a resolution commemorating Doctors' Day. In 1990, the congress and the senate approved legislation establishing National Doctors Day. The resolution designating March 30 as National Doctors' Day was signed by President George Bush. So go and thank a doctor today! Dr. Madini, the father of one of Angela's friends, is doctor of the week this week!!!

3). Take a Walk in the Park Day:. This is an opportunity for exercise and relaxation. Are you stressed out? A walk in the park is just what the doctor ordered, as most of us find it calming and therapeutic.....a chance to study nature....or watch children play. I'll be at the park today working. I hope the weather cooperates, so you can celebrate this holiday today.

4). Pencil Day. This holiday is in celebration of the first patent on the modern pencil. Hymen Lipman was issued a patent in 1858 for a pencil with an eraser. March 30, 2013, marks the 155th anniversary of the modern pencil, and many participating libraries and businesses distribute free pencils in honor of this significant achievement. Use a pencil and celebrate today! Guess this one anyone can celebrate.

5). Grass is Always Browner on the Other Side of the Fence Day: Yes, this one is a mouthful and a little odd. This is a day to honor all of those who did not jump ship, did not quit the same old job, or did not leave the same old relationship because things appeared to look better somewhere else. It was also created to inspire people to be happy with what they have, rather than selfish and greedy and envious of other people. I have to admit that the grass is truely bowner on my side of the fence right now....the neighbor's grass is soooo green already.

6). Turkey Neck Soup Day: Not my favorite food holiday so far. It's exactly what it says it is, a soup made from turkey necks. I don't even save the necks from our turkeys....

Have a wonderful Saturday. I hope to get a nap after work....and work on taxes...and finish filling Easter eggs for church.
