Early morning pic

On Happier there are quite a number of courses that are available, and I am lucky/grateful that I’ve been given a few. One of them is 7 Happier Habits. I love this, I’m a fairly happy, some would say, “annoyingly perky person.” I’ve been called much worse. But that one sticks with me. LOL 😀  Apparently it’s not okay to be perky. 😛 whatever….

So everyday I’m finding more stuff to be grateful for, and it’s making a huge difference in my mindset first thing in the morning. This morning I am grateful for “Yay! I’m grateful this morning for a beautiful Autumn morning crisp & energizing!”  (quoting myself- yeah… you should cite yourself or else…according to my old prof’s and mentor) 😀  This is the photo I shared, a quick snapshot this morning and it’s unretouched.

It’s Innergize Day!

Do Something good for yourself!! 😀

Sometimes taking a bath is the best thing to do.
Taking a bath won’t change anything, but when you’re in the tub,
you are not responsible for anything – you are wet, for one thing,
so no one can ask you to do anything… you can’t work in there,
because your papers will get wet. You can’t answer the phone
or receive any faxes or messages or assignments or …
Maybe it should be a long bath.

It’s Innergize Day!
Do something good for yourself.

Celebrate Bisexuality Day
September 23, 2014 in the World

Celebrate Bisexuality Day is observed worldwide on September 23, 2014 by members of the bisexual community and their supporters. The day, which is celebrated annually, is a call for the bisexual community, their friends and supporters to recognize and celebrate bisexuality, bisexual history, bisexual community and culture, and the bi- and pansexual people in their lives.

First observed in 1999, Celebrate Bisexuality Day is the brainchild of three United States bisexual rights activists: Wendy Curry, Michael Page, and Gigi Raven Wilbur. This celebration of bisexuality in particular, as opposed to general LGBT events, was conceived as a response to the prejudice and marginalization of the bisexual persons by some in both the straight and greater LGBT communities.

Bisexuality is sexual behavior or an orientation involving physical or romantic attraction to males and females, especially with regard to men and women. It is one of the three main classifications of sexual orientation, along with a heterosexual and a homosexual orientation, all a part of the heterosexual–homosexual continuum.

National Checkers Day and Dogs in Politics Day
September 23, 2014 in the USA

Annually celebrated on September 23, it is National Checkers Day which is also known as Dogs in Politics Day.

On September 23, 1952, Vice President candidate, Richard Nixon, gave a speech that was call the “Checkers Speech”.  He had been accused of improprieties relating to a fund established by his backers to reimburse him for his political expenses.  Wanting to defend himself as his place on the Republican ticket was in doubt, he flew to Los Angeles and delivered a half-hour television address.  It was in this speech that Nixon stated that regardless of what anyone said, he intended to keep one gift; a black-and-white dog that had been name Checkers by the Nixon children, thus giving the speech its popular name.

The “Checkers Speech” was seen, or heard, by about 60 million Americans, including the largest television audience to that time and it led to an outpouring of public support.

With Checkers the dog in the speech, that is also how it come to share the name Dogs in Politics Day.

National Innergize Day 2014
September 23, 2014 in the USA

A day set aside for anyone who has said, “I don’t have time to do the personal things I want to do for myself.” Today is the day to set time aside for yourself to do anything you want to do. Annually, the day after the autumnal equinox.

Take some time out today to do something for yourself that you “never have time for”, like have a bath or read a book or binge watch a television series or drink 27 banana smoothies. Whatever floats.
