Of course, the big occasion in the US is Inauguration Day. The passing of the torch to the new President. I was invited - as was most of the world, but I'm giving it a pass. I have retrieving to do. Kind of like being invited to go on a date and saying you have to wash your hair. So for all those who thought they were dreaming about this whole election thing - nope - you are WIDE awake. And it's happening today.
But you want to know what OTHER day today is? It is actually a day to recognize individuals with disabilities. A day to recognize and support those people who may not have the same physical abilities like everyone else. It's a day of advocacy - and a day to empower individuals with physical challenges - and to show the world that you support people with all levels of abilities. And you want to know what this day is called? International Day of Acceptance.
Does anyone see the irony in the title with the first day I mentioned?
This is just a humble dog's opinion, but I think it's time for humans to work together. Accept the reality of this inaugural day- but use your voice to advocate. Use your voice - like Frodo. For whatever cause you hold close to your heart. But make sure you use your voice...and never underestimate the power of that voice....just remember how noisy Frodo is on his own - and think what our house sounds like when two more of us join in.
Have a GOOD one.
