Happy Make Your Own Holiday Day everyone!

Here’s the plan:

  • pick something you love or a cause you care deeply about
  • see if there’s already a holiday for it (hint: there probably is!)
  • make plans to celebrate it with friends and family
  • if you’re really into this, you can contact city officials, local restaurants and shops, or your newspaper and try to convince them to publicize and support your new holiday

So, what are you going to celebrate? A special someone? A fun activity? A favorite . . . something? I’m thinking, in view of my clutter, I’m going to have to “celebrate” a long spring cleaning day. :)

“Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his                   .      pasture.

 

Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.”

 

Psalm 100

(A privilege granted to me by the fact that March 26 is Make Your Own Holiday Day). On National Sinkhole Awareness Day, I ask you to take some time to think about the reality that there are sinkholes in this world (especially in Wyoming, Michigan), and they are dangerous. Do not remain ignorant to sinkholes!

Hear ye! Hear ye! Attention, world! Each and every one of us has an unparalleled opportunity! Thanks to the Wellness Permission League, Wednesday, March 26 is Make Your Own Holiday Day! In case any of you are in the mood for another holiday after the St. Patrick’s Day/Easter marathon, this is your chance to create your own. Have you always wished that there was a holiday honoring blue M&M’s? By all means, this is your chance to pig out on all the blue M&M’s you can find. Or, maybe a holiday dedicated to hot sauce or Ted Dekker? Have you felt the need to warn someone about a dire situation? Then, follow the example of my roommate who is taking time out of her week to celebrate “National Sinkhole Awareness Day.” 

As for me, I will be observing “National Cheesy Sports Quotes Day.” Remember to win one for the Gipper! Oh, and as you’re going through your day, keep in mind that it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog. 

The sky’s the limit. What will you celebrate?
