Father's Day
The History of Father's Day
Anyone can make the donation to create a child and receive the term "father" but not everyone can be a Daddy, the guy that is there day in and day out making sure that love is known and felt, teaching life skills, being the tickle monster when laughter is needed and being a haven of comfort when tears flow.  Daddy, the guy that knows the child's needs - both emotional and physical. Daddy, the guy that will sit with their kid and watch cartoons with them.  Daddy, the guy that will discipline in love because he knows the potential of his child and he doesn't want it lost to entitlement or rebellion. See, anyone can make that DNA donation but not just anyone can be a Daddy.  So to those of you who are Daddy's to children that don't have your DNA - keep on keeping on, you are making a difference.  To those of you who are Daddy's to the children who have your DNA - keep on keeping on, you are making a difference. Happy Father's Day to all the Daddy's.

Daylight Appreciation Day
I love the long days of summer.  I love driving home from work and it's light out.  I love the first of the day when the sun is rising and the end of the day when the sun is setting.  I love the daylight but I don't love the bright, direct sunlight. What about you?

Make Music Day
Maybe you don't know how to make music but you can certainly appreciate it! Take some time today to appreciate music - maybe a genre you don't normally listen to. *wink*

The Feast of Firstfruits & Easter Go for Broke Day If it scares you this is the day to go for it no matter what. One Day Without Shoes Day Today is to raise global awareness for children’s health and education.  Why shoes? Because shoes help protect from bacteria in the dirt, rusty nails, dirty needles and shoes enable feet to withstand the long distances most children in developing countries need to walk to get to school. Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by to pa

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
