"National Splurge Day on June 18th encourages us to break out the rainy day funds and spend a little.
Splurge, (as defined at Dictionary.com) is: to indulge oneself in some luxury or pleasure.
Splurging doesn’t require wiping out the savings account, especially if it’s only an occasional event. Of course, splurging comes in many forms. To some, it can mean saying yes to whipped cream on your latte or that bracelet you’ve been eyeing. To others, it might mean booking that vacation you’ve been dreaming about taking or replacing your clunker of a car. However you celebrate the day, savor the indulgence. If you splurge on a day off to play golf, enjoy each moment of the 18 holes regardless of the score. Maybe the splurge is for a bottle of expensive wine. Select a good friend who will enjoy the vino, too. Whatever it is, the day is about celebrating you and doing something you may not usually take the time or money to do."
My notes: It's good for morale to take the time to treat yourself for a job well done.

Personally, right now splurging would mean buying a newer vehicle or a new bed...or even better, BOTH :-)
We have just recently made some home improvements, and it felt so GOOD!
And, in light of the crazy year we just had, it would also be nice to splurge and go to a nice restaurant with friends & family.

"National Go Fishing Day on June 18th each year encourages us to drop a line – in the nearest stream, pond, lake, or river. Taking a break from our daily routine to bait a hook and catch some fish can be a relaxing endeavor. In addition to providing food, fishing is a recreational pastime for many. Recreational fishing includes conventions, rules, licensing restrictions, and laws that limit the way in which fish may be caught. A rod, reel, line, and hooks with any one of the different forms of bait or lures, are the most common form of recreational fishing. The practice of catching (or attempting to catch) fish with a hook is known as angling. Catch and release (returning the fish to the water to continue its life) is often the expectation or requirement by law. For others, this is a preferred form of fishing."
My notes: I am not into fishing but I can see how relaxing it would be. Do you like it?

"June 18 celebrates a Japanese dish of rice, seasonings and vinegar. It’s International Sushi Day! Sushi chefs use this sticky rice to prepare a variety of delicate and tasty morsels that may include cooked or raw fish, vegetables, and nori seaweed. Fish without sushi (rice) is known as Sashimi. The way sushi is made and the ingredients used determines its name."
My notes: Do you like sushi? I have never tried it but raw fish doesn't sound appealing to me.
