🍁National SAN Architect Day! Storage Area Network (SAN) Architects manage America’s data. They perform the thankless job of managing America’s IT infrastructure; organizing voluminous data networks, handling security, guarding against data breaches, making sure payments and invoices go out on time, handling financial resources and ensuring human resources compliance. In short, they are engaged in every aspect of corporate life, yet there is virtually no acknowledgment of their extensive contributions. Unknown largely to shareholders, they labor in obscurity, keeping America’s data safe. Corporate management will usually not mention the people who build and maintain their storage area networks unless there is a catastrophic data breach. In all other instances, SAN architects labor in obscurity working for organizations that range from Fortune 500 companies to SMBs and virtually all government agencies – buried behind the walls of the Data Center. With the inauguration on the National SAN Architect day, SAN Architects will emerge out of the shadows of the back room of corporate life into the spotlight of recognition commensurating with the far-reaching tasks they perform.

🍁National Lumpy Rug Day! There are two variations to the meaning of this day. ✨Some people view National Lumpy Rug day as a day to appreciate a good, clean rug and incorporate that into spring cleaning. Along with this is to enjoy the old lumpy rugs and the comfort they have brought to your home. ✨The other variation is to look at National Lumpy Rug Day as sweeping unwelcome facts and issues you do not want to deal with “under the rug.” With either variation, it is a day to take action.

🍁National Garden Meditation Day is a time to forget about everything else, take some time for yourself, relax and meditate. Working in the garden, tending to the plants and flowers or resting quietly on a bench on a beautiful day in the garden are both forms of meditation. Both can be restorative to the soul and a refreshing way to be out in nature.

🍁National Raspberry Popover Day is also referred to as National Raspberry Tart Day. Popovers earn their name by their characteristic popping over the edge of the pan as they bake.

🍁National Textiles Day! Textiles are woven fibers of either natural or synthetic materials. The resulting fabric is used to make coverings for a variety of uses from clothing and bedding to furniture covers as well as rugs, drapery, and canvas for art and shelter. Not only does textile lend itself to multiple uses it is versatile, and its texture and color are unlimited. Sustainability and environmentally friendly approaches to producing textiles are an important part of the manufacturing process in the modern era.

🍁National Space Day is dedicated to the extraordinary achievements, benefits and opportunities in the exploration and use of space. The goal of National Space Day is to promote math, science, technology and engineering education in young people to inspire them to pursue a career in science, especially a career in space-related jobs. National Space Day was created in 1997 by the Lockheed Martin Corporation as a one-day event. In 2001, due to its extreme popularity, former astronaut and Senator John Glenn expanded Space Day to International Space Day.

School Lunch Hero Day is dedicated to those men and women who make the cafeterias and the schools a better place to be! For many children, the cafeteria is the first place they enter on a school day. From the first time through the cafeteria line, the lunch hero has more than nutrition on their minds. The well-being of every child is important to them. Keeping them safe, happy and providing them with good and delicious food is also a priority. Often they see entire families grow up and sometimes, they are family. School Lunch Hero Day provides students and communities an opportunity to create ways to recognize their school heroes. Inspired by children’s author and illustrator, Jarrett Krosoczka created School Lunch Hero Day to honor the foodservice employees after returning to his old school and finding his childhood lunch lady remained and remembered him.

🇺🇸National Montana Day!

I divided this day into two section since it's so big. Anyway save me a place in the Meditation Garden. I need it, I'm seeing waterfalls in my sleep. Montana has 120+ waterfalls.

I would like some of that clear sky, sun shiny weather, even some dry air to breathe would be nice. All we're getting is rain that we don't need right now. The framers need in the fields badly, their way behind. My twin if you bottle that energy up, please send me a bottle.

Warm soggy hugs with a dry towel!🐶🐶💕🌦
