The difference between can and cannot are only three letters. Three letters that determine your life’s direction.
September 13th is Positive Thinking Day. Nobody likes a pessimist, except other pessimists. Being around positive people puts you in a better mood and has been proven to produce better outcomes. Try waking up in the morning and thinking just one positive thought. If you start your day with something positive there’s a better likelihood it will continue throughout the day. Stuck in traffic on the way to work? Who cares! It could be a lot worse. At least you have a job. Think positive. Be positive.
Other Holidays:
National Defy Superstition Day – so Fortune Cookie Day means nothing…remember that!
Fortune Cookie Day
International Chocolate Day – this could get ugly…
Now we normally wouldn’t suggest this, but today may be a good day to ask for a raise. If it wasn’t National Boss/Employee Exchange Day we’d tell you otherwise, only because it’s Monday and that’s traditionally the worst day of the week to ask. The objective of this celebration is to encourage one another to share respective points of view. There isn’t anything that says you need to agree on those points, so don’t come blaming us if you’re without a job tomorrow! At least we tried…
How would you survive if you couldn’t read “On This Day” on a daily basis? Life would be difficult – just as it is for millions around world each day. International Literacy Day was created by the United Nations to promote literacy within communities. Take a moment to educate your community.

Mother Nature is a bitch! Don’t toy with us on a holiday like today. Ok, we’re being a little selfish. Neither Rain Nor Snow Day is intended to recognize the mail couriers whose motto is carved on the New York post office – “Neither snow nor rain not heat nor gloom of night ,stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” We hate to be a pain, but we don’t see any mention of: hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, or earthquakes. Call us hard-asses, but someone has to hold people responsible. We can’t just go naming holidays after every occupation – like Google Commemoration Day! Oops… p.s. Happy Birthday Google!
Other Holidays:
Salami Day – we may not know what it’s made of, but it sure tastes good!
Grandma Moses Day – she started painting at the age of 78!

Birthdays:

“Ma…the meatloaf!!!” That just about sums up this holiday. How can you be lazy? There’s plenty that needs to be done – laundry, help with homework, dishes, making lunches for tomorrow. The list goes on! Moms are supposed to be invincible. Pretty sure the DCP moms sleep even less than the DCP workers! (Is it possible to get negative sleep?) “I never know what she’s dooooing!”
Other Holidays:
National Beheading Day – won’t be taking part in THAT celebration!
Did you know that nothing rhymes with “purple”? Don’t ask why. There’s no rhyme or reason! You can celebrate by noting words in the English language that one cannot rhyme. We challenge you! Here are a few: bulb, depth, eighth, filmed, gulf, wolve
Let the debates begin as you attempt to rhyme these words. This isn’t a rap battle – slant rhymes don’t count!
Other Holidays:
Calendar Adjustment Day – wouldn’t mind going back to June 1st about now!
Some pets have a tough life. Your days consist of eating, sleeping, and pooping. Forget G.T.L., pets have E.S.P. on lockdown! Unfortunately there are several pet owners who do not properly care for their animals. Proper grooming, exercise and preventative medicine are critical components of being a pet owner. Without these activities Jerry and Cassius wouldn’t be able to live the life of luxury they enjoy!
Other Holidays:
National Toasted Marshmallow Day – Mmmmm s’mores!
Frankenstein Day – FYI it was the doctor’s name, not the monster!
