I LOVE OCTOBER 2ND!!!!

Today is October 2nd, one of my absolute favorite days of the year.

I don't know why, but I just love this day!

It always holds such joy, happiness, peace and contentment for me.

October 2nd is not a necessarily special occasion day in my life; no birthdays, annivesaries or milestones that I can remember (and I have a great memory), no extra special events ever took place on this day, I just happen to love it- the way it sounds, the way it feels, the way it makes me thankful to be alive.......

Maybe (Oct.2nd) this was a day I made a major decision about my life when I was a very young infant or child, and just don't remember...Maybe it's because I don't really feel like its truly Autumn until October hits... Maybe it's the impending holiday season, and the fact that after Oct. 2nd (for some reason) life gets hurried, complicated and stressed to the max, b/c of the holidays... Maybe it's a day that will hold even greater and definate importance for me in the future... Maybye Oct. 2nd will hold some great realization for me later in my life...

I'm not sure, but it is one of my favorite days of the year, I'm looking very foward to the rest of the day, let's celebrate!!!

Here's my post about it from the TY Webboard.....

Okay, y'all, please forgive my unimportant topic, but I had to share my joy and contentment (I mean, there's never enough of that to go around!)

I don't why, but every year, October 2nd is always a great day for me!!!

I can recall where I was every Oct. 2nd for the past fifteen years or so. It's not my birthday, or anyone's birthday that I personally know, but it's just always been a nice, quiet, peaceful and beautiful day for me.

Some memorable Oct. 2nd moments have been: my mom and grama and I would go to an Apple Festival in nearby California when I lived in Reno-that was always yummy, fun and educational too. One year, it was my first homecoming game in High School. Another year, the leaves in my backyard (when I was 9 years old) were incredibly colorful and the weather was perfect, not too cold, not too hot.

I just generally LOVE the day/date October 2nd.

Am I crazy to have this one date, that I remember each year as being happy and peaceful....

or does anyone else have a particular date that always seems to bring them happiness and joy, for no exceptionally special reason, other than, it's just a nice day. Just curious!

Many Blessings,

P.S. I think EVERYDAY can be special and beatiful and full of love and lessons if we allow it to be! Life's such a gift and a blessings!
