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.

Making your own sundaes for Strawberry Sundae Day is a fun activity for the whole family to enjoy together. Older children can make them by themselves, choosing the quantities of strawberries, ice cream, cream and other ingredients as they see fit, and younger children can help make (and eat) the sundaes. If you have any strawberries left over, why not make some tasty smoothies or jam with them? 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/

Father-Daughter Take A Walk Together Day National Father Daughter Take a Walk Day is observed annually on July 7th.. This day was created to promote the benefits of family bonding time between fathers and daughters as well as the benefits of physical activity.

The memories that are made during your time together will stay with you forever. During the summer season there are many wonderful places to walk and enjoy nature as you spend time talking, laughing and bonding. Time spent together is more valuable than any other gift you can give a child, no matter how old your child is.

Setting the example of a healthy lifestyle to your children is also a valuable gift. Walking has many health benefits and can be incorporated into your child’s life at a young age. Walking is also a great daily activity for the whole family to do together. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/latest-posts/

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.

There is already a Forgiveness Day in August, founded by the Worldwide Forgiveness Alliance, but the Forgiveness Day on 7th July was founded by CECA (Christian Embassy of Christ’s Ambassadors), though really both days have essentially the same message; to forgive! 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 can't decide whether to indulge in the treats or to kill that bastard so I can finally get over that grudge, to tell the truth.

I will go with the Strawberry Sundae, with a little chocolate, and then ask forgiveness, while taking a bit of a walk, to tell the truth

Ringo Starr will celebrate his 75th birthday on Tuesday with a little help from his friends, including filmmaker David Lynch, Eagles guitarist-songwriter Joe Walsh and musician Edgar Winter, outside Capitol Records in Hollywood.

In addition to the milestone birthday, Starr is presiding over the 10th installment of his annual "Peace & Love" ceremony, in which he invites fans worldwide to utter those words with him (or post them on social media) at noon that day in whatever time zone they are in.

“It’s become a real thing,” Starr told Chris Carter, host of the long-running “Breakfast With the Beatles” radio show on Sunday during a call into the show. “It’s not just a fad.”
