What day is it?

Do you know what day it is? It’s “Pay a Compliment Day,” and may I say you are all looking lovely today! I’ve talked about holidays and special days in this space before. It is easy enough to do. There are so many of them! The National Day Calendar lists over 1500 holidays and days of special remembrance or honor in the annual online calendar. With almost 3 times the number of observances as there are days in the year, not only is some day some thing, most days are many things!

Naturally we couldn’t let that go, so over at ROAMcare, Diem and I proclaimed today to be “I Am Special Day.” If you read that on the Uplift blog yesterday, you can still celebrate it today. That’s because today is “I Am Special Day” too. So will be tomorrow. And the day after that, and after that, and after that. Every day is “I Am Special Day” because we believe no day is just an everyday day.

We even introduced some traditions to get the ball rolling. One of them is to smile at other people and make them feel like they too are special on “I Am Special Day.” You could say we’re encouraging people to Make America Kind Again. (I just thought of that! Today is going to be special.)  Check out Celebrate You for all the details.

    1. Excellent! I’ll be over for the traditional I Am Special Day dinner – a 5 course dessert featuring chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, and whipped cream.

  1. You and Diem have such a knack for bringing up truth and reminding all of us to be mindful of others. I love how you two encourage us to be better because we can if we just put our minds and hearts into doing it. However, it’s SO hard to think of myself as special. Because I know me. Your words are being taken to heart. Thanks.

    1. But it is especally because you know you that you can find th especial parts of you! We all see them. The day is meant for you to look inside and find them too!
