Day 4415: Age

Well, dear readers, I’ve made it to age seventy-two!

Now that I’ve miraculously reached this advanced age, I have to rewrite the first line of my song “Shameless Appeals for Applause.”

Any ideas?

While many people have negative feelings about age (some right-wing jerk on Twitter called me an “old hag” last week), I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to be this age. That’s why I never lie about or conceal my age; instead, I brag about it.

Do you see age in my images for today?

.

From a very young age I’ve known that my birthday was Groundhog Day, but it took this advanced age to find out that it is also World Play Your Ukulele Day!

Thanks to all who are helping me to celebrate my age, including YOU!

Day 4180: World Holidays and Observances

One of my daily observances is sharing a list of World Holidays and Observances, usually found at this website:

.

Unlike the writer on the World Holiday and Observances web page, I’m not sure that everyone can agree on anything these days, but I definitely appreciate the positivity and the daily lists.

Yesterday, Michael, without knowing it, helped us observe National Corn on the Cob Day in style.

.

Last night, I asked a question on Twitter about another one of yesterday day’s World Holidays and Observances, and many people joined in.

.

Here is today’s list of World Holidays and Observances.

.

As often happens, I’ll be observing one of those imperfectly — that is, on a different day. Friday will be my National Automotive Service Professionals Day because I’ll be bringing my car in then for an oil change.

However, Michael’s food intuition is perfect two days in a row: he’s cooking chicken tonight!

Do you see any potential World Observances and Holidays in my other images for today?

Yesterday was Broken Water Main Day in these parts.
We’re constantly observing some kind of Cat Day around here.

.

For those who want to observe it, World Play Your Ukulele Day is February 2 — my birthday!

Today, I’ll be planning a personal world holiday: a trip with my son Aaron this August. I’m hoping that world holiday will include seeing the Canadian Rockies AND my long-time blogging friend, Maureen (who shares many helpful observances here).

Here’s what I find when I search for “world holidays and observances” on YouTube.

Thanks to all who help me celebrate every day — no matter what the world observances and holidays are — including YOU!
