EXUBERANT HAPPINESS

When you look at today it should be a day filled with exuberant happienes. Why you ask. Well you woke up on the top side of the grass. You are still breathing. This is something to be excieted about. You have been given another day to live your life. You have been given another opportuninty to serve. How you will spend your day is of your own doing.

You can spend it complaining or you could spend it rejoicing you have another chance to share with your friends. You can choose to do what you want. How will you spend it. Lets all have a great day.

Here is a question for you: ( this does not relate to anything)

What is the origin of April Fools Day?

There are several explanations for the origin of April Fools' Day, but the following is the most plausible one. April 1st was once New Year's Day in France. In 1582, Pope Gregory declared the adoption of his Gregorian calendar to replace the Julian calendar and New Year's Day was officially changed to January 1st. It took some time for everyone in France to hear the news of this major change, and others obstinately refused to accept the new calendar, so a lot of people continued to celebrate New Year's Day on the first of April - earning them the name 'April fools'. The April fools were subjected to ridicule and practical jokes and the tradition was born. The butts of these pranks were first called poisson d'avril or 'April fish' because a young naive fish is easily caught. A common practice was to hook a paper fish on the back of someone as a joke. This evolved over time and a custom of prank-playing continues on the first day of April.
