October 19 is the Sweetest Day of 2024
Observed on the Third Saturday of October, Sweetest Day is the flip of Valentine’s Day. While Valentine’s is often presented as a day where couples enjoy time together, with the husband or boyfriend showering the wife or girlfriend with candies, cards and flowers, Sweetest Day is for the wife or girlfriend to return the same affection and attention to the boyfriend or spouse.
It’s not observed everywhere and mainly in a certain parts of the US.
However, I do like the name of it, and like Valentine’s day, it can also be a day to honor and observe love for all people. As the day’s name inspires, It also makes me think of sweetening spells in all their variety, honey jars, deserts and candies with whispered prayers for sweetness and affection made into them, or enchanted sugar pot, meant to spread sweetness in the home with every spoonful in coffee, tea, or lemonade.
Take some time to spread some sweetness in your life today, if not everyday if you can.
