November 2 is “Look for Circles Day.” This lesser-known holiday invites us to notice circles in everyday life — from the obvious, like wheels and clocks, to the subtle and abstract, like circular routines or patterns in nature.
This can actually be an exercise in mindfulness, helping us observe our surroundings in a new way. It's a fun excuse to pause and discover hidden shapes and symmetries all around us.
I don't have to look far: I have fresh cookies on a round plate and am enjoying coffee in my cylinder-shaped cup, on its round wooden coaster, as my two dogs are curled up in a semi-circle next to me.
Happy Look for Circles Day!
