No real need to explain much - red is cool color on it's own but is also, quite obviously, a favorite of most of this board, even many of those who dream of black jerseys. So grab something red and wear it proudly today. It's also the color chosen to represent women's health issues relative to hear attacks and strokes. So if you wear red you can also represent a push for women's health..
Today was the busiest of the National Days that I've come across. Here are some other options if you have nothing red that's clean enough to wear:
NATIONAL GET UP DAY - started by the figure skating association, it also represents getting up after having fallen, a mental toughness kind of thing. Pretty good idea.
NATIONAL FREEDOM DAY - celebrating the end of slavery and the 13th amendment.
NATIONAL TEXAS DAY - No way I'm going with this one...even if we beat them in basketball. I do like the song "the yellow rose of Texas", allegedly a young woman who kept Santa Ana occupied during the crucial battle of San Jacinto.
BUBBLE GUM DAY - not great for one's teeth but I loved those baseball cards back in the day.
NATIONAL BAKED ALASKA DAY - have never eaten it but it sounds good
NATIONAL SERPENT DAY - boo hiss. I did learn that only about 1 in 8 species of snakes is venomous. Of course, it only takes one.
NATIONAL SELF-CHECK MONTH - something we should all might do...there are sites that can walk folks through a self-check and early detection is ALWAYS a good thing - although fear of what one might find is one of the main reasons folks don't do self-checks.
NATIONAL ENROLLED AGENTS MONTH - Ive never use one but it sounds like they can be a big help when it comes to taxes and such if people have problems in that area.
NATIONAL FASTING FEBRUARY - I'm not big on fasting during any month, but it doesn't really refer to changing what we eat, but more of when we eat it. Suggestions are to try an put 10-12 hours between eating at some point in the day so that there is a longer period of time when the body has to burn sugars. I guess an earlier dinner and a little later breakfast might do it.
Sorry for the lenght today...just found some of these kind of interesting .
