March 9 is Panic Day. My research turned up the origin of
Panic Day: Tom and Ruth Roy, the creators of more than seventy (!) copyrighted “holidays.”
I found no evidence as to WHY they thought we needed a day to panic. Maybe they
were just too freaked out to leave a record. What I do know about Tom and Ruth
is that they share a very quirky sense of humor. I’d guess they invented Panic
Day to give us all an annual excuse to run in circles, screaming. If that’s not
the sort of thing that floats your boat, you might celebrate by doing something
quieter to relieve stress. Enroll in a yoga class. Learn to meditate. Go for a long
walk. Plant something and watch it grow. Choose a good book and get lost in it
for a while. If none of that helps, you can always run around screaming on June
18, International Panic Day.
