Superhuman Day For years those who faced the challenges of disability in all its forms dealt with a stigma that was forced on them, that they were somehow less capable of doing amazing and, dare we say it, Superhuman things. Superhuman Day celebrates and brings awareness to the thousands of athletes, musicians, artists, and everyday people who have overcome what was once perceived as a crippling limitation and gone on to prove that Yes I Can https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/superhuman-day/Buy A Book Day TV and movies have taken over our lives these days. Thats not to say that watching certain TV shows or movies is a waste of our timethere are many well-made, thought-provoking things to be watched. And of course, thanks to Kindle, carrying even multiple books around at the same time has become infinitely easier and more practical. Still, however, it is a bit sad how the the old-fashioned art of reading a regular paper book seems to be slowly fading away into the past. It sometimes seems as though children today do not even know the scent of an old book, a book that has touched the lives of so many, and how wonderful it can be to settle down on the couch with such a book on a rainy day and disappear into the world it creates. Buy a Book Day was created for the purpose of reminding people how much joy simple black print on a white background can bring when it awakens your imagination and transports you far away. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/buy-a-book-day/
Salami Day Salami is cured, fermented and air-dried sausage, popular in Italy and the mediterranean.

... yesterday was "read a book" and today it's "buy a book." I guess everyone reads 'em before they buy 'em.

I already have more unread books than I'll be able to read in the time I have left. So I guess I'll buy more books!
