"On February 16th each year, National Almond Day recognizes the versatile and healthful almond. Whether you are eating them by themselves, using almond milk, pasta, flour, butter, oil or meal, almonds offer a delicious flavor along with many health benefits. Almonds are one of the most heart-healthy foods on the market, packed with vitamin E, magnesium and fiber. According to a survey of 500 health professionals, almonds may be beneficial to a healthy lifestyle. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, “Scientific evidence suggests, but does not prove that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as almonds, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.” Recent research from Purdue University suggests that eating almonds can help people feel satisfied for several hours, which can support weight management and counter weight gain. Eighty percent of the world’s almonds are grown in California." For more information you can visit: www.almonds.com/ and www.nationalalmondday.com/ " My notes: I love drinking almond milk. I used to make my own but now I found one w/o added stuff to it. I get Unsweetened & add in Monk Fruit & cocoa powder. I also love using almond butter.

I'm a big fan of almond butter and almond milk too. I've discovered that Chai lattes taste even better with almond milk.

"National Do A Grouch A Favor Day is a call to kindness on February 16th. Everyone knows a grouch, and some of us may even be guilty of being one. On February 16th, maybe you can be the one to find the sweeter side of a grouch. For some, it’s in their nature to be grouches all of the time; while others may just be having a rough day or two. On National Do a Grouch a Favor Day, we have an opportunity to turn the grouches frown upside down! A grouch can be called by a number of names, some of which won’t be described here. However, a few that might come in handy are curmudgeon, crank, grump, sourpuss, bellyacher, grouse, crosspatch, malcontent, crab, and grumbler. If you manage to turn their mood around they might become known as the neighborhood idealist. The grouch that you know might be a friend, relative, co-worker, boss, neighbor or someone who lives in your house. The favor you do on National Do a Grouch a Favor Day can be simple or elaborate. Either way, doing them a favor is going to feel right for you!! A grouch is a habitually irritable or complaining person, a grumbler. ~ Merriam-Webster Dictionary Maybe February 16th would be a fun day to watch the movies Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men. Let’s make it a better day for your favorite grouch!" My notes: Do you know of a grouch today? Send them this Day Of to make their day brighter

"Innovation Day is commemorated on February 16 to recognize the role that new knowledge plays in making a country more advanced and powerful. This day is a great way to not only make the existing crop of scientists feel valued and appreciated, but it also inspires young people to pursue a career in technology and innovation. This special day celebrates the achievements of the scientific community and opens the doors to new technologies, inventions, and careers for the younger generation."
My notes: A day for those who like technology.

"On an early Friday in February, lunchrooms across America have accepted the mission started by National No One Eats Alone Day. No One Eats Alone is a positive initiative from the nonprofit Beyond Differences aimed at creating a lunchtime of inclusion. Organized by students for students, middle schools across the nation look beyond differences and find ways to start conversations at lunchtime – with everyone. No one eats alone."
My notes: Now, this is another Inclusivity that "sounds good" & maybe it's to make the grown-ups feel like they are doing something. It will only work if both parties WANT it. Inclusivity tends to "force" the ideas & not take into consideration if all involved actually WANT to. In school, kids tend to follow the crowd, because if they don't, they get laughed at. I'm going to continue this in the Human BEings board as I think it will make for a great topic of discussion. THEN we can find ways to TRULY make this work, not just on paper, but in real life where people have REAL feelings.
