Golfer’s Day –

Some avid golfers might suggest any and every day is Golfer’s Day. But on this day, it’s official. The only question is, does this day honour the golfer, the sport, or the weather? Well, it’s a little of each. Golfer’s Day is an opportunity to be thankful that someone invented this addicting, yet relaxing hobby.

Also referred to as “Golf Day”, there is only one proper way to enjoy this day. And, that’s out on the golf course.

When Golfer’s Day falls on a week day, it is even more special. That means you now have an excuse to take a day off of work and go play a round …or two. Regardless of your score today, you know that even a bad day on the greens, is better than a good day at work.

Winston Churchill Day –

Winston Churchill Day celebrates the day he was made an honorary US citizen. On this day in 1963, Winston Churchill became the very first person to become an honorary citizen.

What does it take to become an honorary US citizen? You have to have made extraordinary accomplishments or contributions in your life. And, then a law must be drafted and voted upon by the U.S. Senate.

Celebrate today by reading and learning about Winston Churchill, Britain’s Prime Minister during World War II.

All is Ours Day

All is Ours Day is is bound to be a spectacular day for…… us.

Think of the concept. Imagine the possibilities. The creator of this day was absolutely brilliant. What a great day this will be.

The creator of this day was absolutely brilliant. Let’s dissect the meaning and intent of this great day. We will do so by examining the title of this day, word for word. It begins with the word “all”. For such a little word, it’s all-inclusive. From a possessive standpoint, therefore, we are talking about anything and everything we want.. The verb “is” is sort, sweet and definite. It leaves no room for doubt or question.

Finally, the creator chose the word “our” rather than the word “mine” This is a vital decision allowing us to completely enjoy today. The greatest events, and the best things in life, are those that are shared. The only thing the creator left out is the definition of who “Ours” represents. That is left up to you.
