"The holidays may be over, but the New Year celebration and commitments to our resolutions continue with National Green Juice Day on January 26th. Every year, the celebration encourages people to stick to their health and wellness resolutions by drinking a green juice. There are several veggie-centric ways to celebrate and inspire health and wellness habits in the New Year."
My notes: Even tho I don't do resolutions, I do like my greens. What do you consume? I like Moringa, Wheatgrass. Have tried others but those are the 2 I'm taking at this time.

"The fourth Wednesday in January offers a unique opportunity for book lovers on Library Shelfie Day. Some collectors of books tend to arrange their collections so their spines can be admired pleasantly. Others have a system of organization that results in an alternative art form. However our books are organized on the shelf, they are meant to be photographed and shared on social media. Library Shelfies offer book stores, libraries, schools, and individuals an opportunity to express their reading preferences through a single photograph. Whether they frame their favorite authors, titles, genres or cover art, readers share a bit of their library in creative ways. With or without dust jackets, signed and unsigned, dogeared and in mint condition, bibliophiles love books of all kinds."
My notes: This is a different day! I don't have a lot of books, prefer to just get them from the library.

"Australia Day – Each year on January 26th, Australians celebrate the day their country was founded as a British colony in 1788. On this date, the first governor of New South Wales arrived at Sydney Cove and raised the first-ever Union Jack flag. When you think of Australia, you probably think of kangaroos and koala bears. You might also think of the Sydney Opera House or the Great Barrier Reef. Movies like Crocodile Dundee or Finding Nemo might come to mind. However, Australia and Australians are much more than that."
My notes: Who lives in Australia? Anybody visited there? What do you like best? I've never been out of my country, USA.

I've never been out of my country, USA. That's a shame. Being a military brat and a Navy veteran, I've seen dozens of countries. Experiencing different cultures is exciting to me. I never made it to Australia though. I wish I had. I know you have at least one member who lives there. A few things that happened on this day in history: In 1915, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Rocky Mountain National Park Act, which created America’s 10th national park. In 1962, the United States launched Ranger 3 to land scientific instruments on the moon. (The probe ended up missing its target by more than 22,000 miles.) In 2009, Nadya Suleman gave birth at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center in California to six boys and two girls; criticism came after the public learned that the unemployed, single mother had gotten pregnant with the octuplets and six elder children through in vitro fertilization. In 2020, NBA legend Kobe Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter and seven others were killed when their helicopter plunged into a steep hillside in dense morning fog in Southern California; the former Lakers star was 41.

I love learning about various cultures & their history. Languages are fascinating to me as well. Just too much of a homebody to even travel outside my own state lol But I travel by proxy

"Every year on January 27th Vietnam Peace Day commemorates the signing of the Paris Peace Accords. This event ended America’s involvement in the Vietnam War. For eight long years, the United States was involved in the Vietnam War. The U.S. entered the war in 1965. However, the conflict in Vietnam started long before then. Tensions existed between communist North Vietnam and democratic South Vietnam in the mid-1950s. During this time, America’s only provided funding and military training to South Vietnam."
My notes: The people who go to war are selfish. We have to help defend the defenseless so there's no easy answer to any side.
