Yesterday was Wa Ching Day. If you forgot to celebrate it don’t worry, you’ll have a chance to celebrate this great holiday in a few days. What is this great holiday you ask? Let me explain.
I was in kindergarten classroom on Wednesday helping out with calendar time. The students put one slash for everyday of the month. Wednesday was the 9th, therefore they had nine slashes. They excitedly exclaimed, “Yay! Tomorrow is Wa Ching Day!”
I had to ask what is Wa Ching Day. They seemed so happy about this day. I knew it had to be something they had been looking forward to for months. They looked at me like I had six eyes for not knowing this holiday but excitedly explained to me that Wa Ching day is when the get to put a slash across the other four slashes and say “Wa Ching!”
I want that kind of celebration in my heart.
Think about how great it would be if we could all celebrate and look forward to our own Wa Ching days.
What days of the week can you turn into a celebration?
I have Salad Wednesdays with my daughter, Monday Margarita’s with my wife and Friday Reflections with myself. I never have thought of these times as celebration. They are days that just fit into my schedule such as the 5,10,15,20,25,&30 of the month. I am going to take a lesson from a group of 5 and 6 year olds and celebrate and rejoice in my Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I am going to look for reasons to embrace each day as a celebration and a reason to look forward to the next day.
I invite you to go embrace the day, celebrate it, and find your Wa Ching!
