Today is go Fly a Kite Day. I suppose some people could take that metaphorically.
Today is also Global Wind Day, Magna Carta Day, National Lobster Day, National Smile Power Day, Native American Citizenship Day, Nature Photography Day, Ride (Motorcycles) to Work Day, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, and Worldwide Day of Giving.
Tomorrow is World Sauntering Day.
I like a good saunter, especially when walking downtown.
Date When Celebrated : Always June 19th
World Sauntering Day is a day to saunter here and there, wherever you go.
You can spend your life walking through life, jogging through life, or being dragged through life. But, life is far more enjoyable, if you saunter through it. Its doubly true if you saunter with a friend or loved one.
Sauntering is not a walk, jog, trot, or run. Sauntering is a form of strolling. Sauntering is a very casual, yet stylish, form of movement from point A to Point B. The dictionary defines sauntering as walking along slowly, happily and aimlessly. Now, doesn't this sound like a grand way to get around?
On World Sauntering Day, practice your sauntering technique. Saunter everywhere you go.
The Origin of World Sauntering Day:
This day was created in the 1970's by W. T. Rabe at Mackinac Island, Michigan while he was the Public Relations Director for a hotel on the island. Rabe was well known for his publicity stunts.
