Well Hello to you two .. NATIONAL TODAY / NATIONAL DAY CALENDAR..

There was no question that I had to show you the below Holiday because Patti, not only is a Flower Girl..

Patti IS a beach aficionado! She grew up on the beaches of California!

From far away places, not only me but Patti’s niece Eryn, have sent photos like those below to Patti.

Patti also likes to send sand messages via photographs to our friends.

Thanks Ginny!

Walk in the Sand Day is celebrated every year on the Saturday after the March Equinox.

This year, it takes place on March 22.

This occurs at the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. You’ve probably seen cute photos on social media of people walking on the beach while on vacation.

However, walking in the sand has benefits that go beyond beautifying your Instagram feed. It provides a relaxing experience as you watch the waves, take in the sunset/ sunrise, bird watch, look for marine life, collect pretty shells, and immerse yourself in the beauty of the natural environment.

The feeling of walking barefoot in the sand provides a soothing and relaxing sensation, which is beneficial for both your mental and physical health.

GET THIS..

Walk in the Sand Day was founded by Patti Jewel in 2012 to celebrate the healthy activity of walking barefoot in the sand.

Patti Jewel conceived this day to share the experience and joy of beach walks with the world. She is a beach advocate who goes to the beach for relaxation and mental and physical healing. She has expanded the aim of the day to help people appreciate and protect beautiful beaches all around the world.

Walking in the sand is a fun way of working out your legs. It allows you to walk slower and enjoy nature while getting a better workout, burning more calories, and enjoying the experience more.

Dry sand areas require extra energy to walk on. Therefore, you get to exercise more muscles in the legs and feet. The harder sand near the water is perfect for a faster-paced walk. You experience less stress on your feet and joints when compared to walking on pavement since the sand offers more flexibility. In the long run, this helps prevent degenerative conditions like spinal arthritis from progressing.

Oceans have become places of rest and mental refreshment. More and more people visit beaches each year for health and leisure.

Fun!

Let’s All Goof Off ..

From Ginny!

International Goof Off Day is observed on March 22 every year.

International Goof Off Day is a day when almost everyone can unwind and enjoy themselves.

Goof Off Day has been observed annually since 1976.

It’s a day to do whatever you want, as long as you don’t do what you’re supposed to do for that day. Goofing off should be your only plan for the day, as long as you don’t get in trouble at work or school. Today, do whatever you want with your time; the possibilities are unlimited.

Even Winnie the Pooh agrees that “doing nothing leads to the very finest something,” as he famously said. So, heed Winnie’s counsel today and enjoy International Goof Off Day.

Monica Moeller Dufour of Davison, Michigan, organized this particular fun celebration day with her grandfather, William D. Chase. Since then, Goof Off Day has been observed. When Moeller came up with the idea for this Day, she was a little 10-year-old girl. She was listening to her grandfather on the radio, urging listeners to call in with suggestions for his Chases’ Calendar. When Moeller heard this, she disguised her voice and called in.

As a result, she dialed her grandfather’s number and told him about her plan without identifying herself. That, according to William, is a fantastic notion. She revealed to him the next day that she was the one who called in regarding International Goof Off Day. Her grandfather surprised her by smiling and showing her a local newspaper article about the need for a Goof Off Day. The Goof Off Day is the ideal opportunity for everyone to unwind, enjoy themselves, and have a good time.

The day invites us to be a little foolish, relax, and do pointless things on this particular day. On this day, you’re encouraged to do something unproductive for enjoyment until the next day to take a break from your daily duties. Do something different from what you’ve been doing the past several days and just have fun. You deserve it.

The term “goof off” is first used by the armed services during World War II.

The word ‘goof’ first appeared in the English language in 1570, when it was spelled as ‘goff.’

International Goof Off Day isn’t officially recognized.

A study was conducted to determine the most popular goofing off activity and playing video games topped the list.

One can’t get too much Snoopy and his pals.

So Goof Off With Your Friends..

There you have Goof Off Day.
