NATIONAL SCREENWRITERS DAY

On January 5, when the credits roll on your favorite show or movie, admire the writers on National Screenwriters Day!

You’ve probably heard of Steven Spielberg, the great director, who is known for Saving Private Ryan, Raiders of The Lost Arc, and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

But do you know that Spielberg didn’t write any of those movies? They were all written by the screenwriter (Robert Rodat, Lawerence Kasdan, and Melissa Mathison respectively).

Inside the industry, these screenwriters are well known for their ability. They crack the story, create great roles for actors, and write memorable dialogue. But there are also writers in living rooms all around the world, tapping away at their keyboards, writing what could be the next breakout movie.

NATIONAL KETO DAY

National Keto Day hits January 5th with an approach to transforming our health. Recent research suggests the high-fat, low-carb ketogenic or ‘keto’ diet offers a number of benefits.

Benefits
Two of the most significant perks seen with the keto diet are weight loss and healthy blood sugar support. In fact, studies have shown improved glycemic control for those with type 2 diabetes while adhering to a ketogenic diet.

Other health benefits of a keto diet may include healthy cholesterol and blood pressure support. It may also be beneficial for those with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.

Keto Plan
How does the diet work? By eliminating carbohydrates, your body will use up its store of glycogen first. Then it will move into ketosis and begin burning fat.

Primarily, a keto diet consists of healthy fats, like eggs, avocado, olive oil, and sustainably-raised meat. Nuts, seeds, dairy, and low-carbohydrate vegetables such as asparagus, broccoli, and green peppers are also easy to incorporate. Coconut oil, grass-fed butter, and ghee add fat and flavor to a keto diet. Occasionally, small servings of berries are added to the menu.

Eliminate these foods if you are considering a keto diet:

sweets, sugar, sodas, baked goods
grains, whole grains, and starches
fruits, starchy vegetables
hydrogenated oils, vegetable oil
diet foods, including low sugar, sugar-free, low-fat foods

This is Oz!

@shoelady60,

Good evening we had a situation with the Team not being able to leave the airport due
to weather they did make it Colorado. Some family members have a love/hate with
the Denver Broncos I do have one brother that I talk about a lot is a Raiders Fan he cannot
stand the Broncos.

We will be watching as they are advising everyone to stay off the roads this includes
MO which is just across Stateline. The stores had food flying off the shelves. I never seen
anything like it.

We are comfortable right now and as long as we have power we will be fine. 😎

Lady we have a nice size amount of snow coming tomorrow. Hello Winter.

@taci,

Good evening and yes I did enjoy Heidi Daus today. 😎🎈So many fabulous ways to wear
what you already have. 🎈😎

I love her Foo Dogs and have many pieces. We do need a little more Heidi. 💕

Oz is all iced up and accidents are everywhere. We all are hoping we don’t have power
outages.

I am going to wish you good night with your family. 💕

My sister loved living in AZ covid hit and things everywhere changed.
She loved her house and the pool it sold fast.

My state is a sheet of Ice and it’s not looking good.

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening and stay safe. 😎

Sheba, ok, I will try my best to carry everything you posted into 2025. 🙂
Good to aim high too, right.
Since your family is so close it sounds easier to live closer to each other, or be centered in a similar area. It sounds like it was an adventure to live in AZ.
Hubs was scared to give me the planter and wanted to return his gift a few times. I don’t know why he felt that way, but my guess is because it wasn’t jewelry or a purse or something but I loved it. See already carrying happiness, gratitude et all…. 🙂 I’m a try-it and hope it works-out type. Day 2 and the plants are good. I think we use the same fertilizer too. Thanks for the tips.
Hope you enjoyed the Heidi Daus shows today! We need more.

@sheba2011

It is 20 degrees with about 3-4 inches of snow.🥶 Did not leave the house today. I am making soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner.🥣🥪 We are supposed to have more snow, 2-4 inches, Monday morning. So far, no ice.

I did read that PM is not playing tomorrow so we don’t have to worry about him getting hurt and we don’t have to worry if they win or lose, yay!🏈 One stress-free game before the playoffs.

Stay warm and cozy tonight, hugs to you, Poppy and the cold cats.🤗💖🐈

@kittengirl,
