Just Because

The state capitol. 7/29/23 dwm

This may be the day you've been waiting for, it's Just Because day.

You don't need a reason to do that thing you've been pondering or find the 'why' to a out-of-the-box project or adventure.  We can do it, just because!

It's always celebrated on August 27, which being a Sunday in 2023, takes a little steam out of the occasion because if you don't work weekends you don't need a special reason to do something.  It might be a better occasion to celebrate during the work week when you could decide just because to take a day of vacation.

Maybe this is the day you decide to run for office or volunteer for a candidate you like or a cause you support.

Just because is one of the reasons I justified going up Copper Peak and ascend Crockett Mountain.

It's important to, at least occasionally, entertain a whim, hunch, or notion to take a chance; spoil yourself; or take a stand.  It doesn't have to be important, serving or eating breakfast for dinner is a great idea just because.

Lots of fun can happen just because, visit or call someone you've not visited in a long time.  Take the family out for ice cream.  Eat vegetables; which could be outside-the-box for some people, including the author.

You should pause a moment and think what your just because is going to be and do it... just because!
