Happy International Men's Day!

Well... Yes, there is such a day and I think it's worth celebrating. Relatively new, this day was established by Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh in 1999, to honor his father's birthday, and the purpose of this project was to encourage people to use this day to convey issues that affect boys and men.

"Men will be man", "boys don't cry", are only a few of things that are told from an early age and they are in many cases the root of many problems later in life.

Men are expected to be strong while being gentle, compassionate and caring while having to make a living for them and their family. 

This isn’t to say that women have it smoother than men. This day is not intended to compete with International Women’s Day. 😁

It's a day to honor and celebrate the positive contributions that men make to the world, their households, and the society.

As always smile a lot and be gentle to yourself and each other.  And celebrate the men in your life! 😁
