TODAY IS …
GIVE UP YOUR SHOULDS DAY
“Today we are urged to give up the word ‘should’ – at least for the day. That word, especially if it isn’t tied to action, can keep us down-in-the-dumps about ourselves or our lives. The family therapist who invented the day said that ‘people generally live calmer and fulfilled lives if they give up the word should’.”
NATIONAL AUTHORS’ DAY
Every year on November 1, millions of people celebrate authors and the books that they write on National Author’s Day. In 1928, Nellie Verne Burt McPherson, president of the Bement, Illinois Women’s Club submitted the idea of setting aside a day to celebrate American authors to the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. They passed a resolution declaring November 1 as a day to honor American writers. The United States Department of Commerce recognized this day in 1949.
