Last month, I started a new feature...Days in ----to Celebrate! This will be an on-going, monthly event where I will share with you a few of the special things worth celebrating each month. Everyone knows I love a good party. And life offers us so many fabulous reasons to celebrate each day, but if you're looking for a more, check back here, towards the beginning of each new month, and I'll list a few extra days worth celebrating.
May's Calendar:
1st Law day; National Loyalty Day; National Mother Goose Day; and National Lemonade Day (1st Sunday in May each year) Even though we've missed them, there's never a wrong time to celebrate lemonade and Mother Goose!
2nd National Truffle Day. What more can I say but YUMMY!
3rd National Chocolate Custard Day; National Lumpy Rug Day (?); National Specially-abled Pets Day - this is a day set aside to teach awareness of how to car for disabled pets. Now this is something I can truly support; National Two-different Colored Shoes Day (a great day for those of us who get dressed in the dark...); and MY personal favorite, National Teacher Appreciation Day. Let's remember to to be grateful and appreciative for all the teachers out there. They do great work!
4th Bird Day; National Orange Juice Day; National Weather Observer's Day; and National Star Wars Day. Yep, you read right, Star Wars has a special day!
5th National Atronaut Day; World password Day; National Cartoonist Day (Hey guys, thanks for making us laught!); National Day of Prayer; and, of course, Cinco de Mayo!
6th National Beverage Day, National Crepe Suzette Day (I can dig this); National Nurses Day (These special people never get nearly even credit, or appreciation, for all that they do in keeping us well); National Space Day (first Friday in May); National Provider Day (Friday before Mother's Day) This is a day set aside to honor child care provisers, teachers, and other educators who help care for children
7th Join Hands Day (This awesome day is set aside to help bring together the older and younger generations living in your neighborhood); National Scrapbook Day (1st Saturday in May); National Start Seeing Monarchs Day (as in butterflies, not royalty); National Train Day

10th National Shrimp Day - As there isn't much already scheduled for this day, feel free to add your own special thing to celebrate.
11th National Twilight Zone Day; National School Nurse Day; National Receptionists Day (the unsung heroes in every office)
12th National Fibromyalgia Day; National Limmerick Day; National Odometer Day
13th National Crouton Day; National Blame Somebody Else Day (the first Friday the 13th of each year); and one of my favorite days National Frog Jumping Day!This day honors a frog named Dan'l Webster in the Mark Twain classic "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" This day spawned, pardon my pun, the annual Frog Jumping Contest in Calaveras County back in 1849. The International counterpart of this day is celebrated on February 19th.

20th National Be a Millionaire Day; National Pick a Strawberry Day; national Pizza Party Day (3rd Friday in May) and another very special day, National Endangered Species Day (also the 3rd Friday in May).

25th national Brown-Bag It Day; National Tap Dance Day; National Missing Children Day. Honestly, I thing missing kids ought to be on our minds every day and not just on May 25th
26th National Red Nose Day - This is one of my favorite days. I have my red nose and i proudly wear it each year. All the money raised each year, from the sale of Red Noses, will go to charities working on the ground to deliver basic needs to children living in poverty. This day is celebrated all over the world, although other countries do so on different days throughout the year.
