June 21, 2012 – World Handshake Day

n
n

nDonnot, I repeat, not, get today mixed up with June 28th’snNational Handshake Day. This is World Handshake Day!

n

n

n

nThisn“holiday” is the brain child of one Ivan Zupa, who heard thenfollowing words from an old man:

n

n

n

n“Mynson, place your hand here in the sea and you are united with thenwhole world.”

n

n
nZupa’snidea is that we should take the time to put our hands in the sea andnshake hands with the whole world, and feel united. If you don’t livenclose to the sea, you could put your hand in any body of water thatnruns to the sea to still shake hands with the world. Of course, Inlive close to neither, so there has to be a dry land option, too!!
