Great American Smokeout Day
Great American Smokeout Day is today. Let's finally kick the habit. My husband actually did on Monday! I'm so proud... although it's his 10th time quitting ;)
The goal of this special day is quite obvious: to get people to quit smoking, resulting in fewer health problems, and less cancer and emphysema deaths resulting from smoking and secondary smoke.
Quitting smoking is not an easy task. As an ex-smoker, this writer knows how hard it is to quit smoking. I quit 10 years ago!! Often(usually), it takes repeated efforts. That's okay, as long as you keep trying until you finally succeed. The health benefits, and the prospect of a longer life are crystal clear.
The American Cancer Society encourages all smokers to give up the "butt" today. Join millions of other Americans today and take a big step to a happier, healthier, longer life.
Homemade Bread Day
Bakers of the world, rise up and bake some bread, for today is Homemade Bread Day.
Bread has been made for thousands of years. Estimates date it's origin back to 5000-10,000 B.C. Modern day lifestyles has relegated homemade bread to the world of specialty baking and holiday baking. People just don't have time to bake home made bread. We turn to a quick "run" to bakeries and grocery stores, for our bread needs. The arrival of automatic bread-makers have created a small resurgence of home made breads, especially specialty breads.
The purpose of this day is easy to understand.--- to make home made bread, and to encourage you and me to make tasty and nutritious bread. So, take a little time out of your busy day, and make some bread. Your nose, your taste buds, and your whole family will be glad you did.
My oldest son LOVES to make bread. He is pretty darn good at it, too. He makes Old Fashioned Bread, French Bread, Raisin Bread, Oatmeal Honey Bread, Garlic Bread and Rye Bread! He loves when people ask him to make them some bread.
Take a Hike Day
Walking, and hiking is an excellent way to get exercise, and get into shape. Hikes are distinguished from walks, in that they are taken in the woods, hills, mountains, or somewhere else in a nature setting. Hikes not only give you exercise, they also provide scenic sites and vistas, that are good for relaxation of the mind and soul.
World Peace Day
World Peace Day encourages us to be kind to others, and teach others to be peaceful.
The creator so this day, encourages us as individuals, to play a role in making the world a better place. The creator believes it starts with us. He suggests we teach our children and others, in ways to promote peace, and avoid war. He also invites us to write our county's leadership about our support for peace and world harmony. Without peace, the consequences is tragic.
Please do your part to promote peace on this day. If we all act on this issue, we theoretically could make war and strife obsolete.
