Ex Spouse Day!

Well if that Title did not grab your attention, nothing will! As you all know, I am totally into this wild and crazy days of recognition. I think there is always a reason to send a friend, neighbor, family and yes, even the EX, a surprise arrival to let them know you were thinking of them.

I came across Ex Spouse Day. This day, always on April 14th,  is in recognition of your Ex. Someone must have been kidding when they created this day, right? Is there anyone that wants to recognize their Ex. Most of us want to forget them. Once again, I will remind you that I do not create the days, I merely find them and pass them on to you. So, please don't shoot the messenger.

All too often, relationships don't work out. Life provides us with many ex-girlfriends, and ex-boyfriends. There are many ex-wives, ex-husbands and ex-partners. Most likely, we would prefer to forget them.

If you value your Ex in any way, give him or her whatever appreciation and recognition you feel is appropriate today. If you cannot find any redeeming trait, no one will fault you for skipping today's celebrations altogether.

April 14th is a busy day of recognition, not only is it my dear sister's birthday but also International Moment of Laughter Day. This special day will put a big smile on your face. The objective of this day is to get people to laugh, and to laugh more often. After all, "laughter is the best medicine".

To celebrate this special day, simply tell jokes or do funny things that cause people to laugh. A smile is not a good enough reaction. Successful participation in this day results in whole-hearted laughter.   As a boy of 5, when my Mom told me I had a baby sister, I cried. Who knew it would turn out to be the day of laughter.. sorry sis.

But we are not finished with April 14th, this date is also National Pecan Day.  It's a day to celebrate and enjoy the popular, tasty pecans. Apparently, someone thought that it was such a great nut, that they created two days to celebrate Pecans.  Pecan Day is March 25th.  A little nutty perhaps, but true.  April is also National Pecan Month, but why not the Pecan tree is the only native nut tree to North America. Celebrate Pecan Day and National Pecan Day by cracking open and eating a few pecan nuts. Also, have some pecan pie.

Till next time LB
