With apologies to school-age kids everywhere, August is Happiness Month. Specifically, August 8th is “Happiness Day”. The happiness movement was started in 1998 by a group calling itself “The Secret Society of Happy People”. In 2000, a secret society decided to publicize the happiness factor with a global communique. We thought you might want to know some stuff about August:

  • THIS YEAR AUGUST HAS TWO FULL MOONS AND THEY ARE BOTH SUPERMOONS. (THE SECOND MOON IS ALSO KNOWN AS A “BLUE MOON”).
  • THE FULL STURGEON MOON (so called because its light made catching sturgeons easier) REACHES ITS PEAK ON AUGUST 1.
  • THE STURGEO SUPERMOON PEAKS ON AUGUST 30th.
  • THESE ARE SPECIAL DAYS IN AUGUST:

1st TO THE 7TH: INTERNATIONAL CLOWN WEEK

AUGUST 3: NATIONAL WATERMELON DAY

AUGUST 8: NATIONAL SNEAK SOME ZUCCHINI ONTO YOUR NEIGHBOR’S PORCH DAY

AUGUST 10: NATIONAL S’MORES DAY

AUGUST 12: VINYL RECORD DAY

AUGUST 13: INTERNATIONAL LEFT-HANDERS DAY

AUGUST 20: INTERNATIONAL GEOCACHING DAY (whatever that is)

AUGUST 20: WORLD HONEYBEE DAY

AUGUST 25: KISS-AND-MAKE-UP DAY

So, in the words of a famous philosopher, “don’t worry, be happy”. Remember, it takes fewer muscles to smile than it does to frown so save your strength.
