Most days, we do things because we have to, or we want to, or it's expected of us. None of those reasons apply today. Today, you have a chance to do something without any rhyme or reason.

Here are a few helpful suggestions for Just Because Day :

Use an unplanned day of vacation.

Send flowers to someone for no reason.

Buy something you don't need.

Visit someone you haven't seen in a while.

Just go with the first thing that pops into your mind and have fun with it.

Now let's P-A-R-T-Y!
