Something To Celebrate: National Bacon Day

There's something quietly delightful about discovering a "national day" on the calendar, isn't there? Not the big, fireworks-and-parades kind, but the more niche, delightfully specific ones — like today's National Bacon Day. It’s a gentle, unassuming reminder that joy can often be found in the most unexpected, and sometimes crispy, places.

It’s easy to let such things pass us by when life hums along, whether you're navigating a busy household, finding your rhythm in a quieter chapter, or just trying to remember what day it is. Big celebrations often demand planning, but these little ones? They simply nudge us with a friendly elbow.

And I suppose that's the quiet truth these days offer: there's always something, no matter how small or how delightfully savory, to celebrate. It’s a soft encouragement to pause and notice the small, good things that pepper our everyday.

So today, on National Bacon Day, perhaps allow yourself a little moment. Whether it’s a perfectly rendered strip (or two!), the nostalgic sizzle and scent, or just a quiet chuckle at the very idea of it all. Enjoy the simple, savory moment for exactly what it is.
