Celebrate Today
National Do A Grouch A Favor Day
Everyone knows a grouch, and some of us are guilty of occasionally being one. February 16 is a day to be especially kind to those grumpy people around us.
Some people may have it in their nature to be grouchy all the time, and today is a day to exercise more patience with those grouches than you may normally do. Others are simply going through a rough patch, and this is a great opportunity to bring them a bit of cheer. Chances are, you'll make yourself happier too by doing an act of kindness.
Celebrate by doing something that will make even the grouchiest person's day better. Turn those frowns upside down!
