Ben Franklin said, “One today is worth two tomorrows.” I like that quote. It is a good way of saying that we should focus on today and let the tomorrows come in their own time. I am grateful for the opportunity to live 5.22.2020. It’s going to be a good day for me. It’s Bitcoin Pizza Day, National Buy a Musical Instrument Day, National Vanilla Pudding Day, National Solitaire Day, National Wig Out Day and Sherlock Holmes Day. I do believe that everyone needs a ukulele so I’ll celebrate that today. Did you know that on this date in 1803 the 1st US public library opens in Connecticut? This is also the day in 1807 that Townsend Speakman 1st sells fruit-flavored carbonated drinks in Philadelphia. This is the day in 1931 that canned rattlesnake meat 1st goes on sale in Florida. This is the day in 1992 of Johnny Carson’s final appearance as host of “The Tonight Show”. Today is Sherlock Holmes day because it’s Arthur Conan Doyle’s birthday (1859) who said, “Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.” This is the day in 1885 when Victor Hugo, author of the Hunchback of Notre Dame stopped living after 83 years. He said, “Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.” Good advice from Victor. Laughter is essential element of happiness. Hope you have an excellent day. I’m going to. Abide
