              NATIONAL OLD DAY STUFF

Always celebrated on March 2nd, it is National Old Day Stuff.  One may think it is a day to to do the same old thing that you do on a daily routine.  However, this day is actually the opposite, it is a day to do something different, something new.
We have all heard the saying, “same old, same old”, well, today is the day to do things differently.  There are several different ways that you can change up your day.  Take a moment to recognize the things that you do each day, then think of other ways that you can do things that will change up those routines.  Maybe you want to try getting up a little earlier, having something new to eat, taking a different route to work, getting a new hairstyle, going out to the movies, buying a new cologne, calling an old friend, moving your desk at work, taking a long walk or just anything that you usually do not do.

Use your imagination, change it up and
have a fun day!
