National Take A Wild Guess Day

Is it a calculated risk to celebrate National Take A Wild Guess Day each year on April 15th? It could depend on how you remember the day. Will you guess how many jelly beans are in a jar? Will you be estimating your taxes? It could be full of hunches and guesses depending on how you spend the day..

Sometimes we have to venture a guess at what's around the corner as a contestant in the game of life. Our inklings or premonitions may never come to be.. If the future keeps you up at night worrying about never paying a bill, it's a good bet that worrying never paid a bill. Another good tip about worrying is that it costs you more in time and space in your head than it will ever give back to you. But that's just another estimate.

We're being encouraged to try making wild predictions this week.. They can be either way off or right on target. Sometimes we get better at guessing as we go, or we have a natural knack for it right away. No matter the situation, it's just a wild guess. Don't take it seriously.

This Wild Guess card game can be downloaded and printed. See if your family knows which National Day you drew or if you can stump them.
