4. WHAT TO CELEBRATE TODAY: Today is National Roof Over Your Head Day. It is a day of appreciation for the things we have, starting with the roof over our heads. Unfortunately, not everyone is as lucky as you and I. There are many homeless people right here in our country. Some people live in a cardboard box on the street...... literally. Spend a few minutes appreciating your roof and home today, along with the many thins you have. And, also make a contribution to a homeless shelter, so others can come in out of the rain.
