"Celebrated each year on July 26th, National All or Nothing Day allows people to throw caution to the wind and go for broke. We all have dreams we hold back, decisions left to make, or plans uncompleted. On this day, people break free of everything holding them back. Everyone has at least one thing that they would like to overcome, need to do or want to do but might be fearful or hesitant to do so. This is the day to go ahead and do it, take that first step and go for it.
Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me. ~Carol Burnett
Whether we make a public announcement, apply for the job we’ve been eying, or mend a fence, sometimes we need to take a different path. When other days on the calendar don’t urge us to make a decision or change, this one will. Define your goal. Enlist help from a friend or family member to encourage you. You can even choose a challenge you can do together. Whatever has been holding you back, get out there an tackle it! Some of the biggest changes in our lives start with small steps. Often they are gut-wrenching decisions because we rarely know whether the outcome will be successful. But how will we ever grow if we don’t reach for those dreams? We all have something we desire to change – celebrate by marking the calendar for the first day of making that change."
My notes: What have you held back with?

I thought this one is a joke. But no, very relevant.

"National Aunt and Uncle’s Day on July 26th honors a special set of relatives we look up to throughout our lives. During holidays, family events, and sometimes sleepovers, aunts and uncles often hold an extraordinary place in our hearts. They fill our lives with fun, laughter, love, and incredible memories. This holiday provides an opportunity to spend time with our parents’ siblings, those people we trusted and leaned on growing up. It would be an excellent time to get out the old photo albums. Look through the pictures, and relive the memories of earlier days around the Christmas tree or at the 4th of July picnic or the beach vacation including those special aunts and uncles in your life. Get together with your relatives and create new memories. Remind them of all the reasons you enjoy having them in your life. Celebrate the lessons they’ve taught you and share them with the next generation."
My notes: Do you have a special aunt or uncle? I don't really know mine too much anymore but I do have a favorite uncle.

"National Disability Independence Day on July 26th commemorates the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26th, 1990. The ADA provides protection from employment discrimination as well as better access to goods, services, and communications for people with disabilities."
My notes: Gaining some independence in life helps each of us feel good about ourselves.
