International Widows Day is a United Nations sponsored holiday. A day of action., encouraging Countries and organizations to strive to eliminate poverty and injustice suffered by millions of widows and their dependents around the World. We may not see it so much in the United States, but widows day is a serious problem most often seen in impoverished and developing Countries.
The UN resolution called upon “Member States, the United Nations system and other international and regional organizations, to give special attention to the situation of widows and their children.”
According to a United Nations estimate, there are over 258 million Widows worldwide.
The History and Origin of International Widows Day:
On December 21, 2010, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution by unanimous acclimation, making June 23rd the annual holiday to celebrate International Widows Day.
Do you have something that’s bothering you which perhaps it’s been this way for a long time. Today is Let it Go Day, the perfect opportunity to shed your worries or concerns.
We’ve all got things that bug us, including regrets, and things we wish would just stop bothering us. Perhaps, you feel guilty about something you did or didn’t do. You could be holding on to a relationship that has ended, hoping the flame will be rekindled. Maybe, you’ve been hoping against hope for something specific to happen, even though you know it will never come to pass. At times, we’ve all had problems that eat away at us and make us feel bad.
Are you still saying to yourself “If only I had.” Whatever it is, simply cut it loose and let it go.
Today is the time to free yourself and shed those problems from your mind. Just let it go. Go ahead, give it a try. When you do, you will be relieved. You’ll find peace, and contentment. Tonight, you will sleep better than you have in a long, long time.
The History and Origin of Let it Go Day:
This holiday was created in 2006 by Thomas and Ruth Roy the creators of dozens of quirky holidays and you can find them at Wellcat.com
There are a few references to this as a “National” holiday but according to the creators of this holiday, it is not a “National” holiday.
