"Each year on July 11th, people across the United States make a special effort to give someone a lift on National Cheer Up The Lonely Day. If you know someone who is lonely or going through a difficult time, be a bright spot in their life with a little extra thoughtfulness today. Whether their loneliness is due to health issues, financial reasons, grief due to loss or personal reasons, isolation can be overwhelming. Use this day as a reminder to contact those people in your life who need a little extra love and attention. Your small act of kindness can make a big difference to them. One word or special consideration may brighten their world at just the right moment. A burden shared is a burden halved. ~ T.A. Webb Letโs Hear it for the Boy We are all lonely from time to time. The gift of companionship and support when we least expect it may not solve our problems, but it eases the burden a little." My notes: Take time today to call, email, text, visit others. & then try to do that on a regular basis. It will make them as well as YOU feel good

Great idea and so easy to do! Even if you're doing something and you're so-ooo busy, give a little smile to someone:-) You'll go back to what you were doing, but they'll remember it the rest of the day...or longer. You never know Never hurts to be kind.

Yep. You never know if you will be the one who would be lonely and needs someone to call you.

"National Blueberry Muffin Day on July 11th gives us a great reason to get up in the morning and celebrate! Americans love their blueberry muffins so much, itโs their number 1 favorite muffin flavor. Whether it is for breakfast or a snack, blueberry muffins are melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
While enjoying a delicious blueberry muffin, consider the powerhouse the blueberry is. This once wild berry became domesticated during the early 1900s thanks to the observations of Elizabeth Coleman White and the research of Dr. Frederick V. Coville. Before their efforts, wild blueberries were never successfully transplanted and raised in any farming operation for personal or commercial production. The only way to enjoy fresh blueberries was to seek them out where they grew naturally."
My notes: I've always loved blueberries & blueberry muffins. Do you like them?

"National Rainier Cherry Day on July 11th recognizes the cherry variety named after Mount Rainier. In 1952, Harry Fogle of Washington State University developed the Rainier cherry by cross-breeding the Bing and Van cherry varieties. The sweet Rainier cherries have a thin skin and a thin creamy-yellow flesh. Cherries are a temperamental crop that is sensitive to temperature, wind, and rain. Each season, birds eat almost one-third of the crop. While cherries in general present growing challenges, Rainier cherries are unique. Their delicate skins require the cherries to be hand-picked. However, superior taste keeps producers and consumers coming back for more."
My notes: Who likes cherries? While I haven't been to Washington State, Traverse City, Michigan is known for its cherries as well & we've had some of them.
