Don't feel badly if you can't remember the significance of today - it's actually the point! We're often scratching our heads in frustration, trying to figure out what it is we've forgotten. Was I supposed to be somewhere? What was it I was going to pick up at the store? Who's birthday was it? So today give yourself a break and enjoy saying "I forgot"! In case you've happened to remember some past omission, maybe today gives you a good opportunity to make amends. Ever wonder why we tie a string around a finger to remember something? It's actually a throwback to the days when pieces of cloth or clothing were tied around parts of the body that were painful. The idea was that the cloth would help keep the spirit of life in that part of the body and cure it. A string on the finger was thought to work similarly in keeping a thought to be remembered at a later time. So rather than keeping a string on your finger for a year, it might be a good idea to record today on your calendar - or you'll likely forget again next year!
