Our readers are accustomed to an occasional focus on ‘commemorations’. This week we’re going to look a little closer and see if the monthly ‘commemorations’ have some value. Who knows… we might just have a little fun while we’re looking.
Last week we focused on an upcoming celebration of ‘Earth Day’. The week before we focused on ‘Stress Awareness’. It’s easy to see the value of commemorations as these special “days” bring our minds to awareness, and strengthen our resolve to protect the environment and value ourselves and our peace of mind.
AMS Commemorates
At AMS, some of our Associates like to participate in the awareness days in special ways. This month they are creating awareness of Stress on April 8th by wearing the color blue, and doing a walk while on break.
April is also Autism Awareness month and this too is a subject we can learn more about… how to help and assist individuals with autism. The day for the walk while on break is April 15, and the color is rainbow.
The Earth Day celebration is on the 22nd and the color is green. Earth Day is another gift of awareness – there are things we can do to care for our Mother Earth and the ‘day’ is a very good reminder.
The Commemorations List
A search gets us the following list: Earth Month, dedicated to environmental awareness. Stress Awareness Month focuses on mental well-being. National Autism Acceptance Month promotes inclusion. Celebrate Diversity Month honors diverse backgrounds. National Financial Literacy Month promotes financial education. National Garden Month celebrates gardening. Arab American Heritage Month recognizes contributions.
Those are some very good subjects to think about, read about, and by doing so, expand our awareness of ways that we can help make a better world.
Just a Little Fun
We mentioned that we might be able to have some fun. So, where is the fun? Under the title of “Other Notable Days” we find the following: National Find a Rainbow Day is April 3; National Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day is April 16; Husband Appreciation Day is also April 16; National Day of Silence is April 17 and National High-5 Day is April 23rd.
Just the list itself is fun! April 16 is a double up day. Wear pajamas on the job and appreciate the husband on the 16th. Then, amazingly, the very next day we are silent – no talking. We wait a few days and Victory arrives – it’s National High-5 Day. It seems that the creator of these ‘Days’ has a sense of humor.
Enjoying Awareness
Yes, there is value in placing our awareness on things we can improve and learn from. We truly appreciate our AMS Associates for bringing our attention to how stress affects our lives, and how we can decrease the stress and increase the peace. Our Associates are also bringing our attention to Autism and to the environment on Earth Day. We thank them.
AMS Fulfillment enjoys a very positive work culture.
