Celebrate

I long ago gave up wondering why people decide that everything has to have its own day, even if it means sharing it with another undeserving thing.

Today is "National Peanut Butter Day" and  "The Farmer's Almanac" thinks we should all take a 30 second moment of silence as we cover our hearts, remove any head wear, and stop scratching our crotches, in order to pay Peanut Butter a modicum of respect. After all, it's the least we can do; way less than what Peanut Butter deserves, that's for sure. 

This recognition of something so common as peanut butter got me to wondering just what other mundane, common, almost invisible thing could or would share this day, or for that matter, any day.

I decided to take a minute or two to exhaustively search through at least two Google hits and get right back to you with my well researched conclusions...... Be right back.

After a 30 second slog through the mire we know as Google, I have found that January 24 is not just a day of celebration for Peanut Butter, but the 24th is "National Beer Can Appreciation Day" and "National Compliment Day".

I decided that finding 3 days in 30 seconds was where I get off. If I keep looking, before the day is through, I will have too many things to celebrate and it will be time to hit the hay. 

So I'll just stop here and celebrate. I won't celebrate Peanut Butter, Beer Cans or the lost art of Complimenting. I'll just celebrate because I can.

Keep it 'tween the ditches ..........................................
