Daily Holidays - July 7

National Strawberry Sundae Day We all love cooling down with a cold, fruity treat on a hot day and Strawberry Sundae Day honours a dessert loved by millions around the world. Created with sweet toothed people in mind, Strawberry Sundae Day is the perfect excuse to sit in the garden and cool down with a delicious delicacy. Strawberries are loved by children and adults alike and are a refreshing, sweet fruit. Coupled with ice cream and whipped cream to form a sundae, they taste divine. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/strawberry-sundae-day/

Chocolate Day There are a number of dates throughout the year promoting variations of local, national or international Chocolate Day – our research leads us to believe that this is the true, definitive, purist ‘Chocolate Day‘, so celebrate with some of the high cocoa, rich, dark chocolate that makes you go tingly inside… Or failing that, stock up on chocolate biscuits, ice-cream and enjoy a day of secret treats and indulgence…https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/chocolate-day/

Global Forgiveness Day A day to forgive and be forgiven, Forgiveness Day is a chance to set things right. Put aside old differences, move beyond grievances and hurts and start afresh. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/forgiveness-day/

Tell The Truth Day
Imagine a world where nobody lies, says anything misleading, or does anything dishonest. Tell The Truth Day aims to achieve this for just one day – presumably to allow people the rest of the year to get over insult, hurt and the result of truths which perhaps should have remained un-said!https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/tell-the-truth-day/

I passed Martha's, the best ice cream place in the area, and always consider stopping, though it's the busy season now. Before the summer's over, I'll have to stop at least once this year, and strawberry's my choice if I get a sundae to go - or a cone if coffee is one of the flavors of the day...

It's called Fritz's and has the outside tables and is just across from a small park where the overflow crowd can go. Nearby is my favorite Donut shop. Old Town Donuts which I pass each day on my commute. It's hard not to stop everyday there, but I limit myself to once or twice a month, taking in donuts for the co-workers (helps me not eat too many).

The picture looks yummy!

to drive by without stopping?

Ice cream is my greatest temptation. I can never turn it down.

These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
...People filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us,
Doesn't keep me warm
