Save Your Hearing Day – This
is a day to focus on a very important sense, our ability to hear.
For as long as I can remember, young people have been determined to
destroy this sense as quickly as possible. Probably something to do
with knowing that they will one day have very loud children and so
they know already that there will come a day when they will be glad
that the noise is somewhat muffled. Or, maybe it is simply because
they like loud music. Who doesn't? I like to crank up my radio when
I'm alone in the house too, but I also have to endure the many
complaints of my family members that I should get my ears checked
because I can't hear diddlysquat. Which is nonsense. Who wants to
hear diddlysquat anyway?
World No Tobacco Day – This is
a day for absolutely everyone to spread the word any way they can
that tobacco can cause many health problems. Some ideas include:
working on banning tobacco advertising, holding anti-smoking
meetings, going into schools and telling kids how bad tobacco is,
stopping people in public places and encouraging them to stop
smoking, holding public marches and demonstrations. Because you
never know, some people who have lived under a rock for the last
twenty or so years, just might emerge today and be receptive to your
information. You could save a life today.
National Macaroon Day –
Macaroons are cookies made with egg whites, sugar, ground almonds,
coconut and maybe some chocolate. They do not use flour. They are
also not to be confused with macarons which are sandwich like treats
filled with butter or jam. Have some macaroons today. These won't
even mess up your gluten-free diet if you are on one.
Heat Awareness Safety Day – We
had Heat Awareness Day last week, this week we need to be aware of
how we can be safe in the heat. Most of it is commonsense such as
making sure you drink enough water, stay out of the direct sun as
much as possible, try to complete outside labors in the morning or
evening when it's a little cooler, wear sunscreen, wear a hat, etc.
The hard part is putting that knowledge into action. You know, this
is a great opportunity to go have a glass of water. Yes, I'm talking
to you.
What You Think Upon Grows Day –
This is a day that is all about the power of positive thinking.
Whatever you allow your mind to dwell on will come to pass. If you
persist in thinking about negative things, negative things will
happen in your life. So anytime you start thinking negatively, push
those thoughts right out of your head and replace them with positive
thoughts. The more positive thoughts you have, the more positive
things will happen in your life.
To celebrate today, turn down the radio
and save your ears, then grab some macaroons and some positive vibes
and go out into the world to make a difference. Talk to everyone you
meet about the health problems associated with tobacco and the best
ways to stay safe in the heat. If you have positive thoughts in your
head about how these subjects will be received by your
victims...ahem...pardon me, I meant to say...audience...then they
will be received in a positive manner.
