Reasons to Celebrate January

EspirationalJanuary 2, 2015December 23, 2014Celebrate the Small ThingsJanuary, Reasons to Celebrate

There are always reasons to celebrate life if you just look around you.

During January we have the obvious holidays we all know about, New Years Day (1/1) and Martin Luther King Jr. Day (1/19 in the U.S.).

But did you know that January is also:

National Bath Safety Month

National Blood Donor Month
National Braille Literacy Month
National Hobby Month
Hot Tea Month
National Oatmeal Month
National Soup Month

In addition we also have some fun and sometimes even silly things to celebrate during January:

4 Trivia Day This is the day to show off your knowledge of little known facts.

10 Houseplant Appreciation Day Let your philodendron know you care.

19 National Popcorn Day A reason to eat popcorn.

27 Chocolate Cake Day Did someone say chocolate cake?

31 Inspire Your Heart with Art Day Get inspired.

Put a smile on my face. Nothing like oatmeal and tea day. And I AM grateful for my house plants! Why not have a day to honor them?
