Much of the U.S. is going to be hot today. It’s going to be a day when air conditioning is going to be in full demand. Staying cool and hydrating will help get us through the coming days. Take care everyone wherever you might be.
The first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere arrives with the solstice this year on Friday, June 20, 2025, 10:42 p.m. EDT. With Summer comes fun and sun and weird weather. Let’s stay cool as the heat warms all around us. Remember to hydrate because it’s good for you, and try not to get sunburned.
Meanwhile, I will be counting down the days until my favorite season, which is Fall.
World Blood Donor Day was established in 2004 by several organizations including the World Health Organization in order to raise awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products, and to thank blood donors for their voluntary, life-saving gifts of blood. Every single blood or plasma donation is a precious lifesaving gift, and regular donation is the key to building a safe and sustainable supply. As a person who recruits donors for Blood Assurance, a regional blood bank serving Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Kentucky, it’s important to donate every 56 days.
What happened to compassion and enlightenment?
Today is National Donut Day where the prince of pastry gets honored for a day. I’m enjoying a jelly filled and maple frosted donut. It’s a great treat considering the week that has been.
Yep, It’s Friday and for me, I am taking today off because I needed a day off. I hope this sets the table for a good weekend ahead. May all of you have a great day and finish the week strong!
