It Seems Like A Lot Is Happening This Week, Hopefully Everyone Has A Good One.

A Week of Reflection, Awareness, and Changing Leaves

Hello, and welcome to your weekly roundup of noteworthy days! It feels like summer just flew by, doesn’t it? But don’t be sad, because September is bringing with it a lot to celebrate and remember. It’s a busy week, honestly, with a lot happening – a good reminder to take a moment and appreciate everything, you know?

This week, starting today, September 22nd, marks the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year! It's a time for reflection and new beginnings, and I'm sending best wishes to everyone celebrating. It’s really wonderful to see communities coming together, and I think it’s a beautiful tradition.

Also today, it's World Rhino Day. It's… it's really sad to think about how many rhinos are in danger, and this day is all about raising awareness and helping them. I saw a picture online, and… well, they’re just magnificent creatures, and we really need to do our part to protect them. Every little bit helps, they say!

And if that wasn’t enough for one day, today also marks the start of Fall! The autumnal equinox is here, and I’m already looking forward to cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes. It’s just…a nice feeling, isn’t it? A fresh start with the changing leaves.

But the week doesn't stop there! We also have several other observances coming up. Saint Matthew and Saint Padre Pio are celebrated this week, offering a moment for quiet contemplation. Then, on September 29th, we have Bi Visibility Day and International Day of Sign Languages, both incredibly important days for recognizing and celebrating diversity and inclusion. And don't forget National Voter Registration Day – a vital reminder to make your voice heard!

It’s a lot, I know. But I think it’s nice to be reminded of all the things happening around us. It helps you feel… connected, you know? So, whatever you’re celebrating – or simply observing – I hope you have a wonderful week!
