What's all this about Peace Day you ask? Well, to explain I've including an excerpt from http://www.internationaldayofpeace.org .
"What: The International Day of Peace provides an opportunity for individuals, organizations and nations to create practical acts of Peace on a shared date. Use the International Day of Peace annually to highlight the Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World, 2001 to 2010.
Established by a United Nations resolution in 1981, the International Day of Peace was first celebrated September 1982.
When: Annually, 21 September - The International Day of Peace
Where: Wherever you are.
Who: You and all who care about building Cultures of Peace for the children of this and future generations.
Why: To mark our individual and collective progress toward building Cultures of Peace, and serve as a reminder of our permanent commitment to Peace, above all interests and differences of any kind. " (Ref)
Now that you know what it's about, I'm sure you'll appreciate it's cause! Next step? Head over to Peace One Day and Make a Commitment and Spread the word! I'm spreading the word by using an IM display picture (the one I've included in this post) and I think I'll email a past.. friend just to say hi.
Enjoy the day and remember the focus is Peace. If you'd like, please leave a comment with what you're going to do today in the name of Peace.
