What is today's holiday?

20 March 2014. - Thursday

• International Day of Happiness
• International Day without Meat
• International Francophone Day
• March Hare Day
• Spring Equinox Day
• Novruz - Muslim Spring Festival, Celebration of the Vernal Equinox (On 30 September 2009, Novruz was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity along with 76 other elements of intangible heritage from around the world)

"...The initiative to establish an International Day of Happiness came from a small mountainous country, Bhutan. Residents of the Kingdom of Bhutan are said to be the happiest people in the world - champions of the Gross National Happiness Index, which measures the national well-being of citizens. Incidentally, the concept of Gross National Happiness Index itself was introduced and cultivated by the fourth King of Bhutan and has become one of the concepts of the country's unofficial state philosophy."

Anecdote.
I made a deal with my husband: he buys groceries one day and I buy them the next. That's how we live: one day we drink, one day we snack.
