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

SPOTTY SHOWERS TODAY

SPOTTY SHOWERS TODAY
We begin our day with perhaps a few isolated showers or even a rumble of thunder. Otherwise, we’re partly to mostly cloudy and very warm. Muggy conditions are also likely with temperatures in the lower to mid-70s. A few may begin in the upper 60s.
Through the day, we’ll see partly cloudy skies remain with a few isolated showers and storms. This will only allow temperatures to reach into the mid and upper 80s. Heat index values reach the lower 90s. A few storms may be strong to severe, mainly over West Tennessee. We will be monitoring any storms for pockets of strong, damaging wind gusts.
MORE HEAT AND HUMIDITY THIS WEEKEND, EARLY NEXT WEEK
Sunshine will be in much more abundance Friday as clouds gradually clear through the morning. Temperatures will be in the mid and upper 60s on Friday morning with afternoon highs reaching the upper 80s. Drier conditions will follow us into the weekend as well. But there will be more sunshine. So highs will be in the lower 90s.
More humidity will join forces with this heat into early next week and mid-week. This will allow for a few spotty showers and storms into the afternoon hours Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Afternoon highs will be in the lower 90s with morning temperatures in the lower 70s.

On This Day
National Creativity Day!
National Hole in my Bucket Day!
May 30, of each year, National Hole in My Bucket Day is observed. This wacky holiday is in honor of the fun children’s song; There’s a Hole in My Bucket.
The song which has origins in 1700 Germany, is about a back and forth conversation between Henry and Liza. Henry needs to fix his leaky bucket. In each stanza, Henry asks Liza for advice. In the end, he needs a bucket to carry water to repair his bucket.
Loomis Day!
Loomis Day is observed annually across the nation on May 30. Washington, DC dentist, Mahlon Loomis, received US patent number 129,971titled “An Improvement in Telegraphing” on wireless telegraphy in July of 1872.
Born on July 21, 1826, Mahlon Loomis was a dentist, the inventor of artificial teeth and one of the earliest inventors of wireless communication. Loomis died on October 13, 1886.
Leading up to his patent, Loomis conducted many experiments in electricity using kites flying miles apart in the mountains of Virginia. Then in 1868 before several scientists and Congressmen, he demonstrated his wireless telegraphic system. While he couldn’t explain how he was able to produce the transmission, he appealed to Congress for an appropriation to incorporate the Loomis Aerial Telegraph Company for research. Senator Charles Sumner introduced the bill, and on May 30 in 1872, the Committee on Commerce reported poorly on the measure. Stripped of its appropriations, it eventually passed in 1873 strictly as a bill of incorporation.
National Water a Flower Day!
National Mint Julep Day!
National Mint Julep Day is observed annually on May 30. Each year, people around the country gather for a glass of mint julep! This refreshing southern classic is a traditional drink of the Kentucky Derby.
A classic mint julep is made with a mint leaf, bourbon, sugar and water. In the Southern states, where mint julep is more associated with the cuisine, spearmint is the mint of choice. Preparation of the drink may vary from one bartender to another.
World Multiple Sclerosis Day!
World Multiple Sclerosis Day on May 30th creates an opportunity to boost awareness and connect those with MS to resources and improve support systems.
As one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system, Multiple Sclerosis impacts more than 2.3 million people around the world according to the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation. The term multiple sclerosis means “many scars,” and this term relates to the areas that appear on the brain and spinal cord after the myelin covering our nerves is damaged or dies. The damaged myelin leaves a lesion behind. These lesions are identified by an MRI when symptoms begin to appeal.
The resulting symptoms vary and progress at different rates for each person diagnosed with MS. The disease is unpredictable, progressive and challenging to diagnose. The cause is also unknown.
While there is no cure, treatments are advancing to help slow the progression of MS and reduce the symptoms. As with many conditions, education, research, and funding are necessary.
Quote of the Day: “A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others.” -Salvador Dali

National Missing Children’s Day! In 1983, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed this day.

It is a day to encourage parents, guardians, caregivers, and others in charge of the safety and well-being of children, to make child safety a priority. It also serves as a reminder of those missing and to honor them and make a effort in reuniting with family.
