by Silicon Valley REALTOR Michelle Carr CroweNational Nothing Day is a day to "celebrate" by  literally doing nothing on January 16th every year.What's known about this day is who created it and its simple purpose. Nothing Day is an "non-event" proposed in 1972 by columnist Harold Pullman Coffin. It's been oberserved annually since it was added to Chase's Calendar of Events.Creator Coffin stated its purpose is: "To provide Americans with one National day when they can just sit without celebrating, observing or honoring anything." That certainly takes some of the pressure off!  In other words, do nothing. And, to say anything more would contradict the purpose of this day. So have fun celebrating this day by doing....well, nothing. Of course, that assumes that doing nothing is okay with t...
