On This Day

National Smile Day! 

On May 31, National Smile Day encourages everyone to wear their best smile!

The first recorded smile on record took place on 126 B.C. Okay, we made that up. But did you smile? Joking aside, we generate a smile when funny things happen or find pleasure in the things we do. Someone we love or enjoy spending time with may be the cause of a grin or beaming look of joy.

Smiles are powerful! They not only create engagement between two people but the more a person smiles, the healthier their brain can be. Smiling has a direct link to our brain and can help to reduce stress.

There is so much a smile can do. Just one smile can brighten someone’s day. It can also improve your day. Smiles are infectious. A healthy smile can develop confidence and generate a new outlook on the world.

National Macaroon Day!  The coconut macaroon is most commonly found in the United States. Most varieties of coconut macaroons are dipped in milk chocolate, dark chocolate or white chocolate.  Almonds, pecans, cashews or other nuts are sometimes added to the cookie.

World Necrotizing Fasciitis Day! 

Necrotizing Fasciitis Awareness Day shines a light on this rare disease which affects the soft tissues of the skin and if not treated properly can spread quickly.

Necrotizing Fasciitis Awareness Day offers more than information. It encourages support and provides resources to those who have been affected by the disease.

National Speak in Complete Sentences Day!  This day is dedicated to using proper sentence structure while speaking.  In fact, you could celebrate the day while texting as well.  So no LOL or ASAP on May 31.  So if you must Laugh Out Loud As Soon As Possible, you will need to say or type it completely.

National Save your hearing Day! 

Each May 31st, National Save Your Hearing Day is observed.  It is important to take some time to learn ways to protect your hearing and that of your family. Our hearing is vital, and there are ways that hearing loss can be avoidable.

There are various reasons from which hearing loss can be the result, some of which include:

  • Age
  • Noise
  • Genetic
  • Illness
  • Neurological Disorders
  • Medications
  • Chemicals
  • Physical Trauma
  • Neurobiological Factors

It is estimated half of the cases of hearing impairment and deafness are preventable.  There are many effective, preventative strategies including immunization against rubella to reduce congenital infections, immunization against H. influenza and S. pneumonia to reduce cases of middle ear infections, and avoiding or protecting against excessive noise exposure.

For more information, visit http://www.betterhearing.org/

Always be alert to hazardous noise and wear proper hearing protection when needed!

National Utah Day! 

As the 45th state to gain statehood, Utah is home to The Great Salt Lake, a deeply rooted Native American heritage, and a far-reaching desert history.

Travel in the footsteps of Utah’s namesake, the Utes, or the Shoshone, Navajo or Goshute. Follow the trails of early explorers or Mormon settlers. They all lived among the natural arches and bridges formed long ago. These architectural wonders of nature are a cornerstone of Utah.

Find treasure everywhere you look. From the sunrise to the spiraling cliffs and the bejeweled night sky. Catch an unobstructed view of the Milky Way for miles or schedule a trip just in time for a meteor shower. Utah significantly less light pollution to make viewing spectacular!

Discover why some still believe the world flat by visiting Bonneville Salt Flats. Home of land speed records and a barren environment, the salt flats were once part of a much larger lake. The Great Salt Lake is one of its remnants.

Quote of the Day: If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love. -Maya Angelou
