National Teacher Day

     Have you ever seen a sign that says “If you can read this – thank a teacher.” I have had teachers that have taught me and I have been a teacher in that I have taught others. Today is National Teacher Day a day to be thankful for teachers.

No Diet Day

     Today is No Diet Day so I'll use today to be thankful for diets. Basically a diet is what you eat but it also carries with it the idea of not eating or at least cutting back on what you eat to lose weight. My diet consists of a variety of things my wife makes for me and for that I am thankful. I am also in the act of trying to lose weight and I am having some success and for that I am also thankful for. How about you?

Cartoonists Day

     Every morning, one of the first things I do after crawling out of bed and forcing my eyes to an open position is go on-line and read my favorite comics. In the evenings, my kids like to gather around the computer from time to time to watch cartoons. Both are drawn by cartoonists and I think most of us enjoy some sort of cartoon or comic at sometime or another as they are often designed to make us laugh and feel good. Let's be thankful for these people.

Space Day

     Here's a day to be thankful for what we find between our ears, space. Not! There is much more than space between our ears but we are surrounded by space – often called outer space, the place that holds the sun, planet, starts and more. It is amazing what we can see there and for that we can be thankful.

Bats Day

     Has any one ever tole you, you have bats in your belfry? Today is Bats Day, a day we can use to be thankful for bats. Yes bats may seem ugly to us and often times are given a bad reputation, they are wonderful creatures that help keep down mosquito populations and around our place in the summer there are usually plenty of those.

National Day Of Prayer

     Today is the National Day Of Prayer and while there are so many things that we can be praying for, let's use this day as a reminder that we can pray and that prayer can make a difference and let us be thankful for prayer and God who hears and answers prayer.

Mother Goose Day

     Today is Mother Goose Day. When we think of Mother Goose we usually think of collections of fairy tales and nursery rhymes. Sometimes Mother goose is an elderly lady and sometimes a goose in a bonnet. Our kids have all enjoyed fairy tales and nursery rhymes. Our oldest got a book when she was little that was full of nursery rhymes and we recently replaced the book and now our youngest thoroughly enjoys it. Today let's be thankful for nursery rhymes.
