It is a good thing that holidays are on a fixed day and we don't have to wait for some event to complete them. Although this is International Stress Awareness Day. We are definitely aware of this day as the election results slowly move along. We could be experiencing this awareness day for a few more days, a week, a month, or more.
This awareness day was first observed in 1998 and is the first Wednesday in November. There are instructions on how to observe it. In particular, the instructions are about doing something to alleviate stress. What stress-relieving foods might you eat? That's the first item on the list. I will definitely considerate last one on the list - consider a therapist - if the U.S. election returns the current President to the White House. That's more than 4 years of stress in the making.
We might look to the awareness calendar to celebrate with whatever awareness day coincides with then election completion.
Which day will we find that out? If it is tomorrow, we can go with National Doughnut Appreciation Day or National Gunpowder Day - depending on the winner. If it Friday the 6th, then what about Marooned without a compass day. That seems on target too.
I guess I'll be adding a new activity to my daily schedule - check on awareness day to sum up the state of politics - it will be like astrology. I wonder how many things are on file for the year's worth of 'Days'. Maybe 10 to 30 things to appreciate each day. That could be interesting.
We have two more Wisteria images today - there is no 'Appreciate Wisteria' day listed on the checkiday.com website.
