Pillow Fight Day
There are Championship Pillow Fights! 
The World's Largest Pillow Fight according to the Guinness Book of World Records
Grab a pillow today and swing away!

Tangible Karma Day
The History of Tangible Karma Day
Here's some ideas on how to observe this day

D.A.R.E. Day
Most of us know what D.A.R.E. is, but in case you don't click here
With our changing and shifting culture, including the influence of technology, D.A.R.E. has expanded from their original mission of drug awareness to include awareness of all things that can cause poor decisions, unhealthy choices, and unsafe environments.

Walk Around Things Day
The ideas are limitless for what you can walk around today!

World Rat Day
Ew.
One of my favorite books from childhood was Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh.  Why not read the book today on your own or with some kiddos? If you don't have time to read the book you could always watch the movie even though the book is WAY better!
Okay, even though rats gross me out (their tails give me the shivers...) here's some info about them.
Rat Behavior and Biology
Top 10 Worst Rat Cities in the World
Ew.

Vitamin C Day
Bring on the Vitamin C! 
12 Foods With More Vitamin C Than Oranges
Is it possible to take too much vitamin C? (hint: yes.)

Cordon Bleu Day
Kosher Cordon Bleu :)
Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipes
Have some Cognac
Interested in being a chef?  Check into the closest Le Cordon Blue Culinary School

Hug a Newsman Day
Don't you think your local newsman/woman might be a little creeped out if people started randomly hugging them? Um, 3 feet of personal space people, unless you are personally invited to come in closer!

School Librarian Day
Seriously. PLEASE thank you school librarians today, they put up with a lot between teachers and students.  They do WAY more than re-stock shelves and track checked out books. Check out this sample job description listing qualifications and job duties from the American Library Association.
Treat your school librarian today.  Maybe give them some hand lotion, coffee gift card, a home baked treat. Most importantly give them respect as a year long thanks!

Tell a Lie Day
So here's the deal.  The only acceptable "lie", in my opinion, are those involving planning a surprise for someone (a nice surprise not a mean or hurtful one).  So if that's the lie you are telling today then go for it! :)

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.
