(a) Father's Day
(b) Summer solstice
(c) National aboriginal day
(d) International yoga day
(e) all of the above
I woke up thinking about two things: Father's Day and Summer solstice.
Father's day things happened first. Sometime in the morning the Micro Manager wished me a happy Father's day. She'd taken me out for lunch on Friday. Later I got a phone call from my daughter and son in law. I think about my Dad most days so today there were a few more thoughts. Dad was a big influence in my life. As we grew older the influences changed but the influences were always there and they are still with me today..
Now summer solstice is always a big day for me. It's a prominent marker in the year. I did not get any special photos this year but I have some from a couple of years ago when I was allowed to stay out after 10:00 PM. The sun rose today at 5:14 AM and sets at 21:59. It's a beautiful evening and it will not get dark until around 2300.

In Canada, it's also National Aboriginal Day. Since I did a post on the aboriginal issue a few days ago , it's a suitable day to recognize.
Now I know nothing about yoga but I thought out of all things recognized today that this would be suitable. It will impress my 84 year old friend who is nuts about yoga.
Now if you look up anything about special days you will find more than you ever wanted to know. So I can go along with the celebration of special days. I do keep things to my own country.
I hope that you were able to do justice to the marking of Father's day and that you celebrated summer solstice.
