My notes: My kind of day lol I'm big into birdwatching. Have a spotting scope I set up to view them better. Also have a Michigan bird book & a Word File I took the time to write in pertinent info on any that could be in my home state.

Very nice. I love bird watching too although I don't get to do it very often. My cats love watching the hummingbirds at the feeder on my balcony too.

"National Keto Day hits January 5th with an approach to transforming our health. Recent research suggests the high-fat, low-carb ketogenic or ‘keto’ diet offers a number of benefits. Benefits
Two of the most significant perks seen with the keto diet are weight loss and healthy blood sugar support. In fact, studies have shown improved glycemic control for those with type 2 diabetes while adhering to a ketogenic diet.
Other health benefits of a keto diet may include healthy cholesterol and blood pressure support. It may also be beneficial for those with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Keto Plan
How does the diet work? By eliminating carbohydrates, your body will use up its store of glycogen first. Then it will move into ketosis and begin burning fat.
Primarily, a keto diet consists of healthy fats, like eggs, avocado, olive oil, and sustainably-raised meat. Nuts, seeds, dairy, and low-carbohydrate vegetables such as asparagus, broccoli, and green peppers are also easy to incorporate. Coconut oil, grass-fed butter, and ghee add fat and flavor to a keto diet. Occasionally, small servings of berries are added to the menu.
Eliminate these foods if you are considering a keto diet:
sweets, sugar, sodas, baked goods grains, whole grains, and starches fruits, starchy vegetables hydrogenated oils, vegetable oil diet foods, including low sugar, sugar-free, low-fat foods"
My notes: Keto is not meant to be life-long. The body needs carbs. Also don't confuse it with Atkins.

"On January 5, when the credits roll on your favorite show or movie, admire the writers on National Screenwriters Day! You’ve probably heard of Steven Spielberg, the great director, who is known for Saving Private Ryan, Raiders of The Lost Arc, and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. But do you know that Spielberg didn’t write any of those movies? They were all written by the screenwriter (Robert Rodat, Lawerence Kasdan, and Melissa Mathison respectively). Inside the industry, these screenwriters are well known for their ability. They crack the story, create great roles for actors, and write memorable dialogue. But there are also writers in living rooms all around the world, tapping away at their keyboards, writing what could be the next breakout movie."
My notes: I just wish the Screenwriters would come up with newer ideas instead of rebooting & remaking old shows.

"Add a little extra something special to desserts to celebrate on January 5 for National Whipped Cream Day. Not only does it add creaminess and a bit of pizzaz, but it also makes the difference between the ho-hum or a celebration kind of beverage or dessert. This holiday falls on Reddi-Wip founder Aaron "Bunny" Lapin's birthday (January 5, 1914 - July 10, 1999). Lapin invented Reddi-Wip in 1948, and the holiday celebrates whipped cream's contributions to the dessert world."
My notes: Do you like whipped cream? What do you put it on? The only thing I really put it on was a Sundae when I was a kid. We make our own homemade version at times.
