"Where would we be without our backyards? Backyards – whether right behind your home or a neighborhood park – are a place for fun, happiness and freedom. On March 19, we celebrate National Backyard Day and all the creative ways we embrace and enjoy our backyard. From gardening to scavenger hunts to backyard campouts and homemade obstacle courses, these green spaces let us find solace and creativity outdoors. In celebration of all the simple, but special backyard memories from this past year and every year, we encourage everyone to celebrate #NationalBackyardDay."
My notes: Ironic that backyard day has a hashtag which kinda defeats the purpose of being outside lol But I encourage people to get outside & enjoy it.

I hope I have a nice sized backyard when I move into my own condo/home one day. Would love to have a huge bird table there too.

"Each year, National Let’s Laugh Day on March 19th reminds us to add a little humor to our day. It’s never good to be serious all the time and letting the laughter bubble up from time to time is good for all of us! We have all heard the saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.” This is the day to take your medicine. Some studies have shown that laughter may boost your immune system, relieve tension and help you relax. Who does not need any of those things in our busy and hectic world? Laugh at yourself first, before anyone else can. ~ Elsa Maxwell We don’t laugh because we’re happy — we’re happy because we laugh. ~ William James As we all know, laughter can also be contagious. Even faking it seems to have some benefits. Classes called “laughter yoga” engage the abdominal muscles, lungs, arms, and facial muscles while using humor to get us laughing to cure what ails us. When you and a friend have those long bouts of uncontrolled laughter that end in tears and aching stomach muscles that last a good 10 minutes or longer, you burn between 10-40 calories per 10 minutes. So, keep giving each other those don’t-look-at-me-or-I’ll-start-laughing-again looks and you’ll keep right on burning more laugh-healthy calories and you’ll enjoy a good memory, too!" My notes: Laughter IS medicine. So get your daily dose today! Then, help others get their dose

"A great combination is celebrated each year on National Chocolate Caramel Day. On March 19th, enjoy chocolate and caramel in your favorite candy bar, ice cream, or dessert. It will put a smile on most people’s faces! The combination also invokes some cravings for chocolate caramel coffee, milkshakes, or just about any treat with this hard-to-resist combination."
My notes: I like chocolate & caramel together. What is your favorite brand? Mine is Ocho.

I love caramel but it gets stuck in between my teeth so I no longer eat any.

"Every March 19th, National Certified Nurses Day celebrates the certified nurses who impact lives every day. Certified nurses dedicate their entire careers to helping others and often work long hard hours. The day honors and recognizes them and their significant achievements. Their advanced skills require continuing education, re-certification, and continued knowledge of ever-changing technology. Certified nurses balance clinical needs and patient care. Helping patients meet their healthcare goals in complex and challenging times makes a Certified Nurse's commitment even more valuable."
My notes: Who here is a Nurse? Nurses are just as important as the doctor because they all work together.
