We've had Happy January, Friendly February, Mindful March, Active April, Meaningful May, Joyful June, Jump Back July, and Altruistic August.  Now it's time for Self-Care September, found by searching for "calendar" on the Action for Happiness (AfH) web site. Here are the first seven days of this new month.

September 3
