Your guide to celebrating August 7 2012
Wake up with a refreshing glass of water to kickstart your day. Head to a local bakery for a sweet slice of pie – any excuse will do! Embrace the whimsical by making your own handloom project; a great way to de-stress and get creative. Take a break with some juicy raspberries n’ cream for a mid-morning snack.
In the afternoon, chill out by the beach or a lake and enjoy the sea breeze as you celebrate all things nautical on Lighthouse Day. Have a water balloon fight with friends or family to add some excitement to your day.
As the sun sets, pay tribute to our aging population by reaching out to a senior citizen; a simple gesture can brighten their day. Attend a public speaking event or listen to a podcast – you might learn something new!
End your day with a toast to bravery on Purple Heart Day; reflecting on the sacrifices of our military heroes. And if you spot a sea serpent in the sky, it might just be time for some particularly preposterous packaging-related fun. Embrace the motley crew of holidays by celebrating each in turn, appreciating the unique joy they bring to our lives.
