Who? You
What? Come As You Are
(nifty cool name of event)
When? Feb 11 All day
Where? Your own
special spot on the globe
Why? Because I
never knew what I had until I found out I'd lost parts of it (got screwed up)
All of us has some ability we take for granted. Sight,
sound, smell, touch, reading, walking, talking, etc.
This is important to me and I would like for you to take
this day to revel in your own uniqueness, sameness or ability. Celebrate what
you would like to celebrate about yourself and celebrate something you can do
that someone else can't do in honor of them. Change can happen in a flash or
slowly creep up and you just don't know what you have until it's gone...so
celebrate yourself
Ideas;
sing a song and think of a friend
read a story with a blind friend in mind
tie your shoes in honor of a friend who can't
feel the grass on your toes for someone who can't
if you can afford to give something, donate a bag of food to
a pantry
leave change in a vending machine
smile at someone
help someone reach something on a shelf
enjoy learning in school in honor of someone who doesn't
have that luxury
pet a cat for a friend
bake something
Then do something totally selfish. Enjoy a favorite meal,
dessert, movie, manicure, reward yourself for your uniqueness, quirkiness
...etc.
Since someone made fun of my desire to celebrate a life
changing event I thought I would skip it this year. I decided that we should all be grateful at
least one day for something very mundane.
I’m doing it a week late, but it doesn’t really matter what day it
happens as long we take the time to enjoy what we have.
