MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
January 22, 2024, as Celebrating Life Day in the
State of New York

WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize
official days that are set aside to increase important awareness of
initiatives that affect the lives of citizens of New York State; and

WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 22, 2024, as
Celebrating Life Day in the State of New York, in conjunction with the
observance of National Celebrating Life Day; and

WHEREAS, Originally instituted to celebrate the children in our
lives, Celebrating Life Day has come to signify all that is good about
being alive; gratitude is the quality of being thankful; readiness to
show appreciation for and to return kindness; and

WHEREAS, Celebrating Life Day is the perfect opportunity for
individuals to make a gratitude jar, get outside and play, indulge in a
childhood favorite activity or spend extra time with their nieces,
nephews, children, grandchildren, or even kids they babysit; and

WHEREAS, A happy and grateful life can help people boost one's
immune system, sleep better, improve self-esteem, and feel less pain;
and

WHEREAS, Every human life is precious, and Celebrating Life Day is
the day to remind ourselves we are all lucky to be here and lead the
lives we do, and despite our individual and group challenges, there is
always good to be found and gratitude to be shown; and

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to help increase
awareness of initiatives which affect the lives of citizens of New York
State; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 22, 2024, as
Celebrating Life Day in the State of New York; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
