For a moment I thought the email I had received was a prank. I knew we had a reason for celebrating every day of living, but I didn’t know we had these many reasons— in January of all months!  Three days I am definitely adding to my party down list are January 2, 6 and 16– what could be more worthy of a celebration that National Nothing Day!!!  See what you think…..
