Each day around the world, there is a reason to celebrate. Know more:
Each day around the world, there is a reason to celebrate. The UN estimates that each day, around 385,000 babies are born worldwide. In the Philippines, this number is 3,739 babies born daily in 2021 as per Philippine Statistics Authority. Such facts are the likely reason why the Happy Birthday song is sang the most all over the world. A simple search on the web reveals that every day commemorates a special event, whether a birthday, an anniversary, or a milestone.
In the United States, Memorial Day is celebrated every last Monday of May. Americans honor those who served in the military who were largely responsible for the peace and liberty in the Land of The Free and Home of the Brave. More than 50 years ago, the US Congress passed the Uniform Holidays Bill to use federal holidays to create three-day weekends.
Whether it is a natal or death anniversary, Filipinos naturally have this knack of making the day meaningful, either through lavish parties or charity events. My friend JB has been celebrating his natal anniversaries the past years by sharing his 3Ts with those around him. In particular, he makes it a point to invite family and friends to help those economically challenged in gift-giving activities.
Indeed, there is a reason to celebrate each and every day. We ought to venerate each day not because of anniversaries but because each day gives us an opportunity to share our blessings. As the Psalmist said, “This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.”. Through it all, I have realized that there is a certain value in celebrating “the everyday.” And I need not wait for a life accomplishment to happen because waking up each morning instantly calls for a celebration.
