Today we're celebrating the power of friendship and the joy of a classic game. National Girlfriend's Day is all about appreciating the special women in our lives, whether they're lifelong friends or new connections. The concept of female friendship has been celebrated throughout history and various cultures. An ancient Greece women gathered in circles called theosoi to worship goddesses and support each other through life challenges. These gatherings were more than just social events. They were vital for fostering community and resilience among women. Fast forward today and we continue this tradition in our own ways through brunches, phone calls, and shared experiences. So take a moment today to reach out to your girlfriends and let them know just how much they need to you. So what are you doing with your girlfriends today? We are headed to a nice brunch to celebrate each other. No, you can't go, Milo. But it sounds so good. From sharing friendships to timeless games, let's talk about International Majan Day. Majan, a game of skill, strategy, and luck, has its origins in ancient China. But here's a fascinating twist. Majan was initially a closely guarded secret, played exclusively by royalty during the Qing dynasty. It wasn't until the early 20th century that the game was introduced to the wider public, thanks to a Chinese nobleman named Zen Yumen, who adopted him, popularized it. The game quickly spread to the west, becoming a cultural phenomenon in the 1920s. Today, Majan is enjoyed by millions around the world, bringing people together across different cultures and generations. Do you play? Yes, I have a digital version on my phone, and even on my computer, going back to the 80s. How about you? Wow, no, I'm never played, but I've seen it. It looks really cool.
