    I always think of September 25 as a special day, my mom's birthday. Even though she's been gone more than 20 years, I still spend the day thinking of her.

    Hi Roni -

    Thank you for the monthly list. I always look forward to it. My favorite September holiday is not listed. It is my Grandmother's birthday, September 3. And this Saturday she will be celebrating her 104th birthday! Can you imagine all the things she has seen and experienced in her life? She is now in a nursing home and just in the last 2 months is starting to spend more time in the past. I try to visit with her every weekend if I can. You can believe I will be there on Saturday with cake and a gift for her!

    I like Friday Sept. 2 because we are taking it as a vacation day and with Monday Sept. 5th being Labour Day, it will be a very nice extra long, mini vacation weekend! We have VIP tickets to the Junior World Beach Volleyball Championships. They trucked in a truckload of sand from outlying beaches to the Halifax waterfront. Supposed to be perfect weather! Must look for my hat...

    So many wonderful observances to choose; do I have to pick just one? I guess if I had to it would be National Chocolate Day on September 23rd! Yummy!

    I really love your monthly lists of holidays and observances. In fact, you inspired my new years resolution this year. My resolution is to find something to celebrate everyday, even if it's something small. It helps me to have a heart filled with gratitude and to focus on the positive. Your list gives me plenty of ideas. Thank you so very much for the inspiration!

    Ethnic Food Month!

    Our church puts on a Greek Food Festival this month every year, so I do believe this one was ordained!

    Happy September Birthday to your relatives!
