May is here !

The beautiful month of May is upon us. It was a long time coming this year !  Cinco de Mayo, Mother"s Day, and Memorial day will all be celebrated in the next few weeks. There are some other holidays scheduled in May that I was not aware of. Perhaps some of you have heard of these unique days.


                                                  May 3rd- Garden Meditation Day



       

This special day was conceived by C.L. Fornari, an author and radio personality. I know many of us will enjoy this day !                             



                                                                  May 4th- Bird Day





Bird Day is the oldest of the days set aside to recognize birds. It was first observed on May 4, 1894. It is one of several holidays celebrating birds.



                                                         May 6th- International No Diet Day






I think this one will be fun to celebrate! No Diet Day encourages us to appreciate the bodies we have, people come in all shapes and sizes.... and that's okay. It was created by Mary Evans Young in 1992. After personally experiencing anorexia , she worked to help people appreciate themselves for what they are.



                                                    May 9th- Lost Sock Memorial Day






Who amongst us has not had this problem ? Matching socks go into the wash , a single sock comes out. It is a pet peeve of mine, I waste so much time searching for the elusive sock ! It is recommended to throw out all mismatched socks on this day. Face it, they are not going to turn up! 😁



                                                      May 25th- National Wine Day






We are going to need this day after searching for all the lost socks ! The day speaks for itself- Pour yourself a glass or two and relax!



                                                May 31st- National Macaron Day






I thought this was the perfect holiday to celebrate as we often enjoy Macarons on this blog. I know anything chocolate usually wins out, but let's give these guys a chance on their special day!
