WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON TODAY??? APRIL 2ND
Children's Book Day....Always April 2nd
International Children's Book Day encourages reading, and promotes the love of books for children. The best and fastest way to develop our young children into intelligent human beings is by teaching them to read. Instilling a love of reading promotes a lifetime of learning and enjoyment. Libraries celebrate today with story telling hours and other events for young children. You can celebrate today by giving a new book to each of your kids. If they are too young to read, spend time reading stories to them. Its a great and memorable bonding time for you and your child. The International Board on Books for Youth designated April 2nd as International Children's Book Day. It marks the birthday of Danish storyteller Hans Christian Andersen(1805).
National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day....Always April 2nd
National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day celebrates the "PB and J" sandwich. Its the favorite lunchtime sandwich of American kids, and many adults, too. Some kids practically live on Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches.
Reconciliation Day....Always April 2nd
Reconciliation Day is a special day to patch relationships and to make amends. It's intention is to re-establish relationships between family, friends and couples. Life is too short to hold a grudge between those we love.
Estranged couples may find today to be an opportunity to work out their problems. People who have had a "falling out" with family members are encouraged to reach out and "mend the fence". For those considering a reconciliation, the old saying is "It's never too late". But, that is not true. Someday, it could be too late. So, please use today to begin your reconciliation. Since 1989, newspaper columnist Ann Landers has promoted April 2nd as Reconciliation Day. She writes an annual article dedicated to this day. She posts and replies to readers' questions and issues on reconciliation.
"FREE YOUR MIND AND THE REST WILL FOLLOW"
I don't know about you, but I'm going to make me & my daughters a PB & J sandwich, find a good book for us to read and call an old friend that I haven't spoken to in years due to a misunderstanding. Time is precious, so let's not waste it........Regards MiMi
