Today is...Charlotte's Web Birthday (1952), I Love Lucy Day (1951), Mushroom Day, Clean Your Virtual Desktop Day, National Grouch Day, and National Poetry Day.  
On this day in 1860 Eleven year old Grace Bedell wrote a letter to presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln telling him that he would look better if he would grow a beard. Obviously, the advice worked, he won the election, and kept the beard.
I am sure lots of you have advice for this years presidantial candidates, but please remember, while this IS National Grouch Day, it is also National Poetry Day....so before you grouch about them, take the time to make it rhyme.

This is also the beginning on National Shopping Cart Safety Week. So please, Folks, remember to keep right, use proper turning signals, and no texting while shopping.

On a much more serious note, today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Rememberance Day. Many families are touched by this sort of loss, yet it is not something that we discuss often. So today, please know that we are thinking of you and praying for you.
