“On August 10th, National Lazy Day gives us permission to relax and kickback. So, we’re going to be a bit lazy here. As you can see, there is not much information regarding this annually celebrated holiday as we do not feel like doing any research. Actually, we do not feel like doing anything at all. Consequently, we are in our hammocks with a couple of good books and glasses of lemonade and iced tea. Yes, it is a Lazy Day. We choose to be lazy rather than tell much more about this day.
You can’t teach people to be lazy – they either have it, or they don’t. ~ Dagwood Bumstead”
My notes: People view being lazy as a bad thing. & while it can be if you are neglecting important things like your health, family, bills, there is something to be said about Self-Care.

Yep, everyone needs a day like this:-) It's also true that it IS like self-care to just relax and be lazy if you want. Every once in awhile, anyway...lol I really like Dagwood Bumstead's take on this...he's got it right:-)

"Woven into the fabric of this state’s historic landscape, we find revolutionaries, innovators, and philosophers. On August 10th, National Connecticut Day recognizes the contributions of the fifth state to join the United States of America. Like other colonies of the region, the Dutch first explored and founded trading posts in Connecticut. In 1633, Puritans from Massachusetts established the first permanent settlement. From the outset, the industry established a means to prosperity in the colony. Production of brass buttons and munitions placed the colony in a position to later supply the Revolutionary Army. The colonial governor of Connecticut, Jonathan Trumbull, was the only governor who supported independence."
My notes: CT is known for its Universities so that's why I put the Graduation Cap in the subject line. Anybody been to CT? I haven't been to the East Coast of USA at all.

"Today, we invite you to celebrate one of the most majestic species to walk the earth. It’s World Lion Day! Each year on August 10, lion enthusiasts around the globe use this day to bring awareness to the declining population of lions. Furthermore, we suggest learning about ways to help the preservation of lion habitats, as well. The lion species, also known as Panthera leo, is one of the largest species on earth. Typically weighing 300 to 550 pounds, the lion can vary from a light buff color to a deep reddish brown color. Surprisingly, there is also the rare white lion found in the wild. Easily recognized by its thick mane, the lion is also muscular and has a loud, deafening roar. Unfortunately, as majestic lions may seem, they are slowly disappearing."
My notes: Just like with other endangered animals, humans need to be more respectful to the Earth & its creatures. We don't "own" this planet.

Yes, they are magestic 'Kings of the Jungle'. And, while I don't ever want to tangle with one.... , they do have their place on this planet, that we all share. No creature should become 'endangered'...humans really should wise up & step up and make sure that doesn't happen anymore.
