National Feng Shui Awareness Day

Today is National Feng Shui Awareness Day, Feng Shui being the harmonic relations of things in a room, fruits in a bowl, lines in a poem for all I know. It's an ancient system for achieving balance in the physical world.You know how you sometimes walk into one restaurant and feel instantly comfortable? There’s your Feng Shui at work! Walk into another and feel immediately ill at ease? Feng shui strikes again!I always have trouble understanding the menu, grasping what the specials are even when they're recited right in my face in the second kind of restaurant because I’m too busy mentally shifting the furniture around and moving the hostess’s station… And I don’t know about you but I can NOT sit with my back to the door. It just feels wrong and besides, what if somebody with a gun comes in and I’m the last to know?Wikipedia says figuring the Feng Shui for a place requires a super accurate compass, "for finding any auspicious sector in a desired location.” One location neither auspicious NOR desirable in an eatery? Next to the kitchen. That’s the equivalent of going to a wedding and finding you’ve been seated with the band. So it's National Feng Shui Awareness Day! So let's celebrate already! Electric Slide Boogie right after the ice cream. :-)
