Today, I’m not writing about projects, maintenance, hardware or lawnmower issues, just because.
There is a special day coming up on August 27 (this Sunday) that, I think, bears mentioning. It is called “Just Because Day.”
I couldn’t find an origin for this “holiday,” but I think it’s a great idea. This is a great day to do something without a reason--not because we are required to, expected to or told to. It’s a day to act on a whim.
Go to a park and swing, call someone unexpectedly, turn a cart wheel, buy the guy’s lunch in line behind you. The possibilities are endless.
Just because.
I also found that August 27 is a “two-fer” as special days go. Since 1994, it has been recognized as “Global Forgiveness Day.”
Started by a Christian group in Canada, this is a day to forgive and be forgiven. Sounds like a timely idea, with all the crazy goings-on in the world, doesn’t it?
Maybe it would be a good day to forgive someone “just because.”
Anyway, have a great day, and remember, help is just around the corner at your local hardware store.
