Celebrate March

Instead of doing a daily checklists of something to celebrate every day on the month… For 2022, I am going to highlight CELEBRATION WEEKS.

Make your plans accordingly…

If you to include more celebrations in your month CLICK HERE.

Week #1- Bacon Week

Actually, it’s National Pig Day (March 1^st), but what better way to celebrate a pig? (Don’t hate me!)

Week #2- National Plant a Flower Week

Where I live, it’s still a little early to plant, but you can definitely garden-center shop. Maybe, if you a an avid gardener, plant a few more seeds to

Week #3- National Backyard Week (March 19^th)

This would be the week to begin working at your garden clean-up. Do all the preliminary stuff. And while you’re at it, enjoy your gardening books and finalize your plans over your new flower and vegetable choices for the year. (Have come chips –National Potato Chip Day the 14^th– and a sloppy joe, or two or three- National Sloppy Joe Day the 18^th– I alleviate some of the meal planning frustrations.)

Week #4- Spring Is Here! (March 20^th)

Get outside for ‘something’ every day this week!

Week #5- National Take a Walk in the Park Day

Continue to enjoy the outdoors. Take a walk- even if it’s just for five minutes. Make it habit!

Breathe: The New Science of a Lost Art

Breathe: The New Science of a Lost Art

James Nestor

I rarely read nonfiction books, but this one caught my eye.

The premise of the book is that “People have lost the ability to breathe correctly- and the loss of the skill is making them sick.”

Very intriguing read!

I would give it a FIVE STAR read…. And I don’t usually like nonfiction!

NANO Project #3

Posted on November 8, 2021November 7, 2021 by rogershipp

How many of you are trying the NANO (National Novel Writing Month) this year?

I decided to break mine apart into different writing projects.

My first project was to complete my personal CELEBRATION blogs for the year. That project has been completed and has been checked off the list.

Project number two was to bring back on-line my weekly flash fiction writing challenge: FLASH FICTION FOR THE PRACTICAL PRACTITIONER. I finished that project this weekend. (This project will go live the last week of Decemeber.)

My third writing project is to collect and print my own personal COOKBOOK. I hope to compile 100 recipes that I know and have tried often and I love for this project. I suspect it will take more than the month of November. I hope to have it ready for my own personal Christmas present by December 25^th!

We will see?

National Nut Day

Posted on October 22, 2021October 20, 2021 by rogershipp

During the month of October I will be purposefully trying to celebrate MORE OFTEN. I am a middle school teacher (or a former middle school teacher) and I would like to find something to celebrate (great-or-small) every single week. I still do.

This month I will be blogging about different ways you can celebrate EVERY DAY for the month of OCTOBER.

I will send the weekly list in advance … so you can PLAN to ENJOY THE CELEBRATIONS with me!

Today’s Celebration

National Nut Day

Wow! This one has ALL KINDS of interpretations!

You could go out and enjoy a MOUNDS bar and an ALMOND JOY bar…

I think that sounds wonderful.

You could take the healthy approach…

According to Healthline.com, there are Nine Nuts to Eat for Better Health.

You could go a happy-medium, and have a few walnuts with your yogurt breakfast.

I’m sure there are many other possibilities!

Happy Celebration!

Today’s Celebration

National Cookbook Month

Today is a day that I will enjoy.

For the last two years I have been trying to become a better cook.

I have spent hours online searching for new recipes that might have a different way to prepare/cook/season vegetables.

I grew up in a meat-and-potatoes house. Not much had changed for 60 years.

Now, I am trying-to-try a few new things.

Happy Celebration!

Squirrel Awareness Month

Posted on October 7, 2021October 3, 2021 by rogershipp

This month I will be blogging about different ways you can celebrate EVERY DAY for the month of OCTOBER.

Today’s Celebration

Squirrel Awareness Month

I have three squirrels that like to frolic and play in my backyard.

They each must have a bit-of-a dangerous bad-boy streak in them because my backyard is also the neighborhood stomping grounds for five rogue cats.

So far, the squirrels have won all of the encounters?

National Noodle Day

Posted on October 6, 2021October 3, 2021 by rogershipp

I was so excited about National Noodle Day …. Because I LOVE SPAGHETTI!

But then I asked Google…. “Is spaghetti a noodle?”

Much to my chagrin, while spaghetti is a pasta and a noodle is a pasta, a spaghetti is not a noodle!!!

Disappointment heaped upon disappointment.

So today, I am going to celebrate National Noodle Day by finding a new NOODLE recipe to try.

(If you have any suggestions, let me know the website!)

Happy Celebration!

National Be Nice Day

Posted on October 5, 2021October 3, 2021 by rogershipp

This month I will be blogging about different ways you can celebrate EVERY DAY for the month of OCTOBER.

I will send the weekly list in advance … so you can PLAN to ENJOY THE CELEBRATIONS with me!

Today’s Celebration

National Be Nice Day

Purposefully think about smiling (maybe even a kind nod of your head) more often as you pass strangers.
If you walk during the day, when you pass someone, or another passes you, do more than just nod your head or a small hello wave, actually say good morning (or whatever would be appropriate for that time of day).
Hold the door open for an older person (or even a younger one).

You can probable be even more creative than these!

Happy Celebration!
