"The first Wednesday in April is National Walking Day and it encourages Americans of all ages to get out and stretch their legs and get their hearts pumping. The American Heart Association sponsors this day to remind people about the health benefits of taking a walk. Wear your sneakers (or take them with you) to work, and at some point in the day, take a 30-minute walk.
Here are some great ways to make that 30-minutes more enjoyable:
Wear comfortable clothes. Take a friend to pass the time. Make sure to stretch those muscles. Drink plenty of water. Move your arms, too. Make sure you have good posture."
My notes: & who knows, you may find yourself walking longer & further! Don't forget to turn off your cell phone, turn off the music. Just enjoy Breathing & being out in the fresh air.

I can see a day like this to some extent, but walking has been out there for EVER! It may spark someone to walk and then they may enjoy it and walk regularly. But I think, for the most part, people are either going to start walking for health reasons, or because they want to, or they aren't. Like I said, they have a day for everything now. I'm tired of days. How about the NATIONAL DAY OF NO NATIONAL DAY! LOL

"National No Housework Day directs us to put down the cleaning solution and toss aside the laundry. For one day each year on April 7th, the housework can wait. Take a break from the sweeping, dusting, and dishes. Dirty windows? They will wait one more day. The vacuum will remain banished to the closet. And mopping? Well, tomorrow it’s a date. While we don’t have to overlook the obvious necessary sanitary needs, we can leave a few dishes in the sink for the day. If the toys are scattered, leave them. Books cluttering the table? They can stay, too. Those chores you dread the most? Postponed for 24 hours. All general spring cleaning is delayed, too. Have closets been calling your name and begging, “Clean me!”? Ignore the voices. Do your cupboards need organizing? Hit the pause button on those, too. All regularly scheduled housework resumes on April 8th." My notes: A day to just chill & take it easy.

"On April 7th, National Coffee Cake Day gives us a reason another reason to linger over a cup of joe. We can also break out some of our favorite recipes and deliver a heartwarming, home-baked item to a friend or two. As many bakers know, coffee cakes take very little time to make and bring a lot of satisfaction to both the baker and the receiver. Coffee cake is a cake intended to be eaten while enjoying a cup of coffee, maybe for breakfast or during a coffee break. They’re an excellent excuse for a visit and a conversation starter."
My notes: Who likes coffee cake? Do you eat it with, say, coffee? lol Or do you prefer it with another beverage? I don't eat cake too much & when I did, it was chocolate.

I've had and enjoyed coffee cake but it's not something I'd go out of my way to have.

"National Girl, Me Too Day on April 7th recognizes the strength and endurance of women of all ages and is an opportunity to show support for each other. Take a moment to look at the women around us. Neighbors, shopkeepers, sisters, even strangers. If you ask any one of them a single thing they have had to overcome, many could respond, "Girl, me too.""
My notes: A day to recognize girls & women for the strength they emit.

There should be year round days for this. Womnen are so underappreciated, amongst other things worse than that.

Women have to deal with a lot. Men should treat their wives good.
