This day is designated January 16, 2022. I went to one of the websites I use for quotes and searched on “today”. I’ll begin this post with a quote from Charlotte Rae: “All we have is today. Just live it. We don’t know about tomorrow. So, enjoy the day. Love yourself and spread love around.” Sounds like a plan. Today is It’s Appreciate The Dragon Day, International Hot And Spicy Food Day, National Fig Newton Day, National Nothing Day, National Religious Freedom Day and Prohibition Remembrance Day. I love the hot and spicy. I also like Fig Newtons. Plenty here for everyone. Now let’s see what’s happened on this date in 1776 the Continental Congress approved the enlistment of free blacks. In 1793 French King Louis XVI was sentenced to death by the National Convention during the French Revolution. In 1868 the refrigerator railroad car was patented by William Davis, a fish dealer in Detroit. In 1939 the daily newspaper comic strip “Superman” debuted.. Finally, in 1967 Lucius Amerson, become the 1st Southern (Alabama) African American sheriff in 20th century. Today is the birthday of Susan Sontag who was born in 1933. After looking through the quotes of people who were born or died on this day, I’m going back to where I started. James Dean said, “Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.” Dhanush said, “It has been a great journey from where I have started to where I am today.” I could not agree more. L. Ron Hubbard said, “Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today and you make your tomorrow.” I’ll end this post with a quote from James Allen, “You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.” He’s right. Abide.
