World Gratitude Day is your opportunity to show your gratitude and appreciation.

The United Nations Meditation Group created World Gratitude Day to express appreciation for the great things that individuals and groups do. This recognition is on a global basis. According to their website: "World Gratitude Day presents an award to someone who we feel has done something outstanding in the spirit of Globalism." This group also suggests that you find something to be grateful for, and  remember the feeling. On a smaller scale, seek to give gratitude and appreciation to people in your life who have done good deeds. It could be something as simple as a "thank you" or a card of thanks to someone. Or, you could offer some type of certificate or plaque of appreciation from a group you belong to, for contributions from individuals inside or outside of your group. Happy World Gratitude Day!

*  Origin of World Gratitude Day: The roots of World Gratitude Day was started in 1965 at the International East-West Center in Hawaii  during a Thanksgiving Dinner. At the dinner, attendees pledged to hold a Gratitude Gathering the following September 21st in their home countries. This grew to be an annual event.

Read more about National Cheeseburger Day and National Butterscotch Pudding Day:
* National Cheeseburger Day is September 18. Top off America's favorite sandwich, with a piece of cheese. The food industry makes it a point to celebrate a wide variety of foods. We believe the Cheeseburger certainly earns a special day. Celebrate National Cheeseburger Day by firing up the grill, and cooking cheeseburgers. You can do so for lunch or dinner.... or both! Any kind of cheese will do. Try a different cheese, if you’re adventuresome. For the carb conscious, eat your burgers without the buns. Watch for....... luncheon and dinner specials today at your local restaurants. Tops on the specials board certainly should be cheeseburgers!
* National Butterscotch Pudding Day is September 19, and gives us good reason to enjoy a tasty dessert. Okay, so Butterscotch may not be as popular as vanilla or chocolate. But, it sure is good. If you like butterscotch, just the thought of butterscotch pudding has already got your mouth watering in eager anticipation. Like all food related special days, its easy to participate and enjoy. In this case, just eat some Butterscotch pudding. Tip: It’s an even more special day, if you make the pudding yourself. Have a Happy National Butterscotch Pudding Day!

Read A Book Day With A "Previously Enjoyed" Book from Beachcrafters Long Beach

We all have insanely busy lives. Whether we’re business professionals working 60 hours a week, or a stay at home mom taking care of a newborn, all of our lives are notoriously busy! Which is probably why someone had the brilliant idea to create Read A Book Day, celebrated on September 6!

As the website HolidayInsights.com explains, “take time out of your busy life, and relax with a good book. Cozy up on a chair, indoors or out. It doesn’t matter where you read that book, as long as you can do so in a comfortable manner. If you doze off along the way, we won’t tell anyone. Reading is a great lifetime hobby. It offers so many positive attributes. It’s relaxing and therapeutic. It’s educational. Its entertaining. And, a whole lot of other good things, too. If you have young children, or elderly people in your home, take the time to read a book to them today. It is a wonderful time to bond with them and it creates pleasant, lasting memories.”

At BeachCrafters Long Beach, we have a beautiful bookshelf filled with fun and interesting “previously enjoyed” books, as well as adorable upcycled and handmade bookmarks. A handmade gift for your loved one is also a great way to commemorate this unique holiday! At BeachCrafters Long Beach, we carry handmade creations by local So Cal artisans.
