If the world seems cold to you,
kindle fires to warm it.

Happy Cinco de Marcho. Today it is time to start to get ready for the big drinking holiday of St Patrick’s Day. So, have a toast or two and get ready. A margarita would be good to start, it is after all green. ;

We also celebrate Multiple Personality Day today. So, if you can’t remember things that you’ve been doing, you should see a doctor to see if you have this disorder.

In honour of Canadians, today is National Poutine Day. Be certain to have some of those cheese curds and gravy covered French Fries.

The first Friday in March is designated as World Day of Prayer. In past years churches around the world have combined their efforts to ensure that prayers were said around the world for the entire day. I pray that this sense of unity of all faiths and denominations continues this year as we are hopefully approaching the end of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Just being able to gather inside churches again will be a joy and a privilege not to be taken for granted again.

Working from home has been a challenge for employees so with today being Employee Appreciation Day be certain to let everyone who’s continued working from home or on the front lines how much you appreciate their efforts throughout the Pandemic.

Our minor celebration for work well done is for our grandchildren as they’ve been potty training. We bought a new potty for the house so when they visit they can continue their good work during their visits to Papa’s and Grandma’s. The new potty even plays a little tune once they’ve completed the task. So be certain to help celebrate National Potty Dance Day. This milestone is especially important for our grandson who has autism. This means he won’t have to wear a diaper into adulthood and will be able to establish independence. Yes, celebrate with a dance for this accomplishment.
