NATIONAL CUT YOUR ENERGY COSTS DAY

National Cut Your Energy Costs Day encourages consumers to explore their options and keep up with scheduled maintenance. Each year, on January 10th, the observance provides information designed to help homeowners and businesses to reduce energy costs and improve efficiency. Did you know that tuning up your heating system can save you up to three to ten percent?

NATIONAL HOUSEPLANT APPRECIATION DAY

One of the best ways to enhance a space is by adding house plants. The busy holidays cause many of us to neglect some of our regular routines, including houseplant care. National Houseplant Appreciation Day on January 10th serves as a reminder to give your houseplants a little extra attention to keep them thriving.

NATIONAL OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER DAY

National Oysters Rockefeller Day on January 10th recognizes a dish so rich there was only one man’s name this dish could bear at the time. At least, that’s the story according to the chef who so masterfully created famous recipes in the French Quarter.

NATIONAL VISION BOARD DAY

National Vision Board Day on the second Saturday in January encourages us to set our goals in a visual way. Get out the sticky notes, markers, and inspiration and start plotting your goals for the new year!

SAVE THE EAGLES DAY

Each year on January 10th, Save the Eagles Day reminds us of the majestic raptors that soar above the Earth – whether they are well populated or endangered. Due to the work of scientists and the public, the bald eagle was removed from this list in June 2007. Poaching, pesticides, and other dangers continue to threaten eagle populations.

Life is a woven thread, never perfectly straight: red gives us the courage to love and endure, white teaches us the grace to accept and forgive. From their union, the flower of life blooms, and there meaning finds its form.

Good Morning Peeps and welcome to the HSN Community. 😎

I am feeling much better. Going up and down the steps took some doing, but I made it. Found that the more you do, the quicker it becomes the normal. I did manage to do one load of laundry. Tomorrow I will start paying the bills (or should I say today). Being unable to do things meant lots of clutter around the computer. Nothing was put where it belonged. What a mess and the reason I am still up and doing in the wee hours.

I ordered out from Olive Garden. Had the shrimp and scallops in the Alfredo Sauce. Must admit that their takeout is better than eating in their restaurant. It was here within minutes. I still have the salad and will probably enjoy it at breakfast. Yes, mu intention is to finally see hubs tomorrow and may do so after playing catchup. Yes, I am still very sore, especially the lower back. Thankfully, nothing broken and no ER necessary. Have to admit hubs would have been happy to see me as a patient at the rehab. Anyway, hope to start exercising next week and get those muscles and bones working as they should.

I can now say goodnight and may you all have pleasant dreams.
