understandable....

 My west coast brother didn't send me information on any special days being celebrated on today, January 8.  He did send me a picture of the giant snowfall they had yesterday so I think he has probably been busy clearing his half mile long driveway.  

He mentioned in his text this morning that he was enjoying a cup of tea before he started clearing the snow.  I am glad to know this because I have discovered (on my own) that today is "National JoyGerm Day," a day which promotes relaxation and positivity.  We all know that a good cup of tea is positively relaxing.  

In keeping with the theme of relaxation, today is also "National Bubble Bath Day," "National English Toffee Day" and "National Argyle Day" (think nice warm socks).  If you can't find something in that list to help you relax and think positive thoughts you're just not trying.  

I suggest the following: Take a hot cup of tea, or hot cocoa if you prefer, with you into the bathroom and close the door.  Lock it if you have small children, first making sure that someone else is available to watch them.  You will relax more if they're not knocking on the door. Pour a copious amount of bubble bath into the bath while the water is still running, get in, relax and enjoy.  

Oh, I almost forgot, take some English Toffee with you to munch on while you relax.  Happy JoyGerm Day everyone.
