National Dorothy Day 2023
 |
My favorite thought of the name turns to The Wizard of Oz and Dorothy Gale, the protagonist who travels to Oz to find the Munchkins, Glenda, the Good Witch of the East, the Wicked Witch of the West, and of course the denizens of the Emerald City and the great and powerful Oz himself.
When she finally has that epiphany of there's no place like home she returns to her family ...
National Dorothy Day goes down annually on December 3rd. It is said to be the official appreciation day for every Dorothy the planet.
The name Dorothy means “gift of God” and pretty much that stands alone in my mind.
I wish I thought myself to be a 'gift of God' for sure.
While I won't go quite that far the name Dorothy does hold a special place in my heart as I continue down the yellow brick road.
I had an aunt by marriage named Dorothy however she made the mistake of hooking up with an uncle of mine who was nothing but trouble.
There are better outcomes than that which his poor children suffered throughout his lifetime and I have been known to grieve for the lot in life they suffered at the behest of his selfish attitudes.
Happy National Dorthy Day to you.
