I haven't been in my game yet so I'll find out in a few minutes. I noticed last night while visiting that some of my friends with FWL now have a card covering their Embankment picture. I wonder what's with that. I have already started a 12 step program. I'm on step 11, something about a bed of nails and thumb tacks.😬

August 30th: National Toasted Marshmallow Day and National Grief Awareness Day.

It’s National Toasted Marshmallow Day! Toasted marshmallows are a special part of summer evenings around a bonfire. One of the popular ways to enjoy a delicious warm, gooey toasted marshmallow is with chocolate and graham crackers in a S’more. Upon personal preference, marshmallows are heated to various degrees from gently toasted to a charred outer layer. The charred outer layer is achieved by igniting the marshmallow. Marshmallows now come in a variety of flavors as well as sizes for maximum toasting opportunities. National Toasted Marshmallow Day is sponsored by the National Confectioners Association.

When a loved one dies, the void they leave affects everyone differently. National Grief Awareness Day recognizes the time it takes to heal from loss doesn’t have a prescribed course and is a reminder closure comes in many forms. The death of a loved one, close friend or enduring an extreme change in their lifestyle can trigger grief. When we lose the stability of shelter, a job or a routine we have known for years, we suffer a type of loss that requires closure. Some adjust to these changes easily, and others take time to become familiar with new routine. If you find you are suffering from grief, know that it’s natural. You’re not alone, and it’s okay to ask for help if you feel your grief is overwhelming. Angie Cartwright founded National Grief Awareness Day in 2014. Familiar with loss, Cartwright too became lost in grief. She has become dedicated to bringing support to those who have suffered like her and enlightening others to the realities of bereavement.

Nothing like an camp fire, a roasting pole and a bag of marshmallows. Yum! Could they have spread these bereavement days out a little. Now my roasted marshmellow is all soggy.

Sending new crisp roasted marshmallow hugs.🍫🐶💕🍂💕
