You are probably aware that just about every day on the calendar is celebrated by someone and I don’t mean just birthdays. 

We are familiar with holidays like Easter which just past and celebrations like Mother’s Day which is next month.  However I’m sure most of you are unaware that today is one in which we pay tribute, acknowledge, celebrate and recognize ten different causes, professions, etc.

National Be Kind To Lawyers Day- A day to be nice to lawyers.  Let them know how much you appreciate their hard work and give them lawyer-related gifts.  Of course you may feel differently if you were on the other side of a bad divorce settlement. 

  • Ex-Spouse Day- Nobody seems to know the origin of this but it does exist although my guess is it’s overlooked by the masses. 
    • National Dolphin Day- An annual event that celebrates how amazing these creatures are while also drawing attention to the threats they face.  I wonder if in Miami people send cards to the football players.

    • National Library Workers Day- Recognizes the unique contributions that library workers make to help people find the information they need for learning, working and recreational purposes.

    • National Pecan Day- Can’t seem to find too much on this one. Not a lot going on in New Jersey but bigger in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma.
    • Pan American Day- Holiday observed in several countries in North & South America to commemorate the First International Conference of American States in 1890.

    • Pathologists’ Assistant Day- Today is the second annual so I guess the first one last year went pretty well.  It’s designed to place the spotlight on the profession which I just did.

    • Look Up At The Sky Day- Take a few minutes to see what’s up there.  If a meteor is falling, get out of the way.

    • Reach As High As You Can Day- Today is the day when you expand your horizons…there are no limits.  If there is something you’ve wanted to “go for” then today is the day. If it doesn’t work out then call your lawyer if he’s not busy celebrating Be Kind to Lawyers Day.

    • International Moment of Laughter Day- Laugh loudly and laugh often.  Watch a good comedy, read a funny book, share your favorite jokes and simply indulge in some good old-fashioned silliness to celebrate the day.

    I would leave the whoopee cushion at home. Or not!
