February 4: National Hemp Day, National Thank a Mail Carrier Day, National Homemade Soup Day, and National Create a Vacuum day.

🌱National Hemp Day! This plant is estimated to be used in more than 25,000 products spanning nine markets: agriculture, textiles, recycling, automotive, furniture, food and beverage, paper, construction materials and personal care. NATIONAL CBD DAY On August 8, National CBD Day recognizes the hemp-derived supplement that’s treating a variety of ailments worldwide! Over the years, hemp-derived CBD (cannabidiol) has made quite a name for itself in the wellness world. As an increasing number of hemp oil products – from tinctures to edibles – hit the marketplace, CBD continues to be the miracle supplement that everyone wants. As an added benefit, CBD does not possess the psychoactive properties (THC). Since ancient times and throughout the world, hemp has been used as natural medicine to treat pain and a variety of ailments. Today, consumers rely on CBD for relief from common conditions ranging from insomnia to anxiety to chronic pain. Advocates value that CBD delivers noticeable benefits without the risk of toxicity and with little to no side effects. Another advantage of CBD is it is natural, fast-acting and extremely versatile. You can inhale it, rub it on the skin, or put drops in your food. CBD Research Research on CBD and its health benefits is ongoing and extremely promising. Currently, studies seek the latest results on the improvement of mood, appetite, cognitive function, depression, insomnia, addiction, epilepsy and Crohn’s disease. Top integrative and functional medicine experts have taken notice. As a result, they are beginning to recommend this incredible natural chemical to their chronic pain patients, as well as those with fibromyalgia and multiple sclerosis. In the modern age, we are finally awakening to the extraordinary potential of CBD in our own lives. That’s just one of the many reasons to discover more about CBD and how it fits into your healthcare regimen. CBDMD founded National CBD Day to bring awareness to the health benefits CBD (cannabidiol) brings to hundreds of thousands of people annually. BUT ISN’T HEMP CANNABIS? YES. IT IS. But since 1937 industrial hemp has been coupled with marijuana under the cannabis species and it is time to separate the two. So why not start the separation process by giving industrial hemp it’s own celebratory day. Instead celebrate International Hemp Day by doing something pro-hemp and environmental friendly. Why? Because adding industrial hemp into the U.S. agricultural system will benefit our nation’s soils. Hemp’s long roots feed micro-organisms living deep in the soils. Healthy soils absorb higher rates of carbon; therefore, reducing ocean acidification providing more life to ocean species. The long roots also help absorb metals from soil. The finished product of hemp is a superfood, or a nutrient dense food. Superfoods will be essential in feeding a world of 9 billion. Not to mention all hemp foods are non-GMO, and no pesticides are currently approved for use in the U.S., so it’s organic! So how should you celebrate? Buy hemp products and share information on hemp with your friends, family and strangers. Cook with hemp. Dress in hemp. Plant hemp (if it’s legal in your state and you have approval). Look fabulous in your hemp cosmetics. Beyond wearing, eating, buying and sharing hemp, don’t forget about the environmental aspect. International Hemp Day also celebrates the Earth. Contribute to making a positive environmental impact potential. Celebrate Earth Day two days in a row! So ride your bike, walk, or carpool. Buy local. Object to unnecessary plastics. Plant a tree. Repurpose materials. Recycle. Change your habits. And make the switch from harsh petroleum products to rapidly renewable materials, like HEMP!

📬National Thank a Mail Carrier Day (also known as Thank a Mailman Day)! There is mail in your mailbox six days a week so let’s take time out of our day to thank the mail person who is responsible for getting it there! The motto of the Pony Express riders, who were the most famous early American mailmen, was “Neither rain, or snow, nor death of night, can keep us from our duty.”  This motto is believed to be taken, in part, from a motto dating back to ancient times. The most popular variation of this motto is “Through rain or snow, or sleet or hail, we’ll carry the mail. We will not fail.” ��In 1775, the Second Continental Congress established the Constitutional Post–the first organized mail service in America. 1️⃣As the nation’s first Postmaster General, Benjamin Franklin established many of the conventions we are accustomed to today. 2️⃣Postage stamps were invented in 1847. 3️⃣On April 3, 1860, the famous Pony Express officially took off. 4️⃣In 1863, free city delivery started, and 5️⃣in 1896, free rural delivery began. 6️⃣In 1963, the Zip Code began.

🍲National Homemade Soup Day! Before the era of modern transportation, soup was a product of regionally available foods. For this reason, there are thousands of soup recipes available today. Many soups also have medicinal purposes. What was once considered a wives’ tale, chicken soup now has the backing of the scientific community with helping relieve the symptoms of the common cold. Scientists believe that a bowl of the soup may reduce inflammation of the lungs. It is thought that chicken soup slows down the activity of white blood cells that can cause the inflammation.

🔭National Create a Vacuum day! A space entirely devoid of all matter is a vacuum. A vacuum is created when the pressure inside a space is lower than the pressure outside the area. It’s difficult in a world full of minuscule particles of matter to create a space that has absolutely no matter. However, we create partial or simple vacuums at home. One of the easiest ways is using a syringe. By plugging up the open end and pulling back on the plunger, the space inside will be mostly free of matter. There will always be microscopic particles remaining, though.

I have one mail carrier and two substitutes mail carriers in my family so I guess I'll be thanking them. In fact the one niece subs for my regular mail carrier. I'm going to be needing that homemade chili soup again later this week when the temperature drops agian.

This is ridiculous weather. Single digits three days ago, today almost 60. And in two days back down in the 30's. I dislike roller coaster rides. I really do!

Sending warm hugs!🐶💕❄️☃️🐶
