🪦 Plan Your Epitaph Day (U.S.)

📅 Observed on November 2nd — with a wink and a quill

💡 What Is Plan Your Epitaph Day?

If you think this is morbid, think again. Plan Your Epitaph Day is a humorous, thoughtful, and creative observance that invites people to imagine what they’d like engraved on their tombstone—or better yet, what legacy they want to leave behind.

In the spirit of self-awareness (and a dash of dark comedy), this day encourages us to pause and ask:

“When all is said and done, what do I want people to remember… and laugh (or cry) about?”

✍️ A Brief History with a Big Message

While the origins of this quirky observance are unclear, the message is timeless:
🔹 Reflect on life.
🔹 Embrace humor.
🔹 Celebrate individuality—even in death.

It’s not about being grim; it’s about writing your own story, in your own voice, right to the very end.

⚰️ The Epitaph Spectrum: From Deep to Delightfully Ridiculous

📜 Poignant & Poetic

  • “She lived fully, painted boldly, loved deeply.”

  • “Gone but glowing in every canvas.”

  • “He sang the song of soil and stars.”

😄 Funny & Light-Hearted

  • “I told you I was sick.”

  • “Still better than a Monday.”

  • “BRB—just rebooting.”

🎨 CRA Arts Style Epitaphs

As an artist and soul-searcher, here are some playful yet reflective options:

  • “Left footprints in pigment and prayer.”

  • “Spilled more paint than tears.”

  • “Still sketching clouds from underground.”

  • “Signed: CRA—eternally.”

🖼️ Artistic Reflections

Planning an epitaph is like signing your final artwork. It’s a statement that says:
🌿 “This was me. This was my journey.”
You can also:

  • Incorporate your art or symbols into your digital memorial

  • Paint your own epitaph stone as an artistic journal entry

  • Include your favorite quote, scripture, or made-up proverb

  • Let your personality shine—quirky, noble, or wise

🧠 Why You Should Try It (Even If You’re Young)

  • ✨ It helps clarify what matters to you

  • 🎯 It’s a fun personal challenge

  • 📝 It can spark conversations with loved ones

  • 💌 It’s a reminder to live intentionally and laugh often

💻 Let’s Make It a Tradition

You don’t need to chisel anything in granite. Grab a notebook, open a drawing pad, or post your favorite "future epitaph" on social media.

🎨 Artists, poets, and dreamers—this is your moment to be remembered your way.

Witnessing History: NASA's Breakthrough on Mars’ Ancient Habitability

  On September 10, 2025 , NASA announced a discovery that could change everything we know about Mars—or even life beyond Earth. A rock sample named Sapphire Canyon , collected by the Perseverance rover in the Jezero Crater of Mars, has revealed chemical patterns and possible organic molecules —strong indicators that microbial life may once have existed on the Red Planet.( The Times of India ) A Glimpse into Mars’ Watery Past Jezero Crater, once a vast Martian lakebed filled by ancient rivers, has long tantalized scientists as a treasure trove of potential biosignatures. The Sapphire Canyon sample stands out, not just for its geological importance but for the possibility it holds: that Mars wasn't always the barren world we see today—it might have been a cradle for life.
