Howard Carter discovers King Tut’s tomb – 1922
Awareness Spotlight shines on…
COLOR THE WORLD ORANGE DAY wants us to sport our orange for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD). This condition is due to a malfunctioning nervous system that sends intense impulses to a particular part of the body causing pain, swelling and skin changes. It mostly affects people of middle age and there is no known cure. The goal of the treatments is to ease the pain and other symptoms.
Education and Information
JOB ACTION DAY focuses on our careers and employment. If you are looking to change jobs or enhance your skills, planning and preparing is always a good thing. Don’t stop there though, put that plan into action and take control of your livelihood.
For Fun
COMMON SENSE DAY just happens to fall on the birthday of Will Rogers who remarked that “common sense ain’t that common”. Common sense is defined as “the applied knowledge of simple, sensible things” and while we sometimes overthink or miss some details, it never hurts to take a step back from a problem and break it down into smaller more digestible pieces.
On Today’s Menu…
ROAST DINNER DAY is actually British in origin, but I think it’s ok if we invite ourselves to the dinner table. A nicely cooked roast, along with potatoes, carrots and onions is a savory, mouthwatering, delicious meal.
NATIONAL CANDY DAY is one of the sweetest holidays around. This one should be easy to celebrate as you probably have some candy left over from Halloween.

Happy Birthday to…
Will Rogers (1879-1935) Writer, entertainer and humorist, he “never met a man he didn’t like” and frequently poked fun at politics and current events – another witty comment – “every time congress makes a joke it’s law, and every time they make a law it’s a joke”.
Ruth Handler (1916-2002)
Founded Mattel toy company with her husband and developed a doll named after her daughter, Barbie.
Walter Cronkite (1916-2009)
He was considered “the most trusted man in America” and gave us the straight-to-the-point news for 2 decades – “and that’s the way it is”
Laura Bush (1946- )
This First Lady was a big supporter and advocate of literacy
Ralph Macchio (1961- )
Before he was the Karate Kid (1984), he was an Outsider (1983) and later had a Cousin Vinny (1992)

Matthew McConaughey (1969- )
As soon as you hear that Texas drawl, you know who it is
Sean Combs (1970-)
P. Diddy started off as a rapper, then started producing records, and got into acting and fashion. Along the way he picked up a couple of Grammys and is now facing a whole lot of legal trouble.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7
Enjoy the day and make it your own
