Today is…
Celebration of Life Day
When Charlie Chaplin’s character in the film Limelight is asked “What is there to fight for?” he starts his response by saying, “Life is a beautiful, magnificent thing, even to a jellyfish.” Indeed, despite difficult days, life is beautiful, and we especially remember that on Celebration of Life Day. Originally a day meant just for celebrating children and grandchildren, by giving them extra attention and gifts, the holiday has expanded to celebrate all people. On the day, people reflect on their own lives; they celebrate the moment they are in, look back on where they have been, and plan for where they want to go. It is likely that January 22 was chosen for Celebration of Life Day because it is the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, on which Roe vs. Wade Day is also observed.
