Daily Holidays - February 1

I got ahead of myself yesterday and posted the days for 2/1 instead of 1/31 so today we look at February's Monthly Celebrations.

Cherry Month Because cherries are so… very. Cherries are an amazing fruit, little jewels dangling from branches that not long ago painted the sky with a cloud of pink petals. They come in an amazing array of flavors and colors, from the rich black cherry to the deliciously light and sweet Rainier cherry. While most people enjoy cherries in the middle of summer, Cherry month serves to remind you that cherries can be enjoyed at any time of year, in all their forms. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/cherry-month/

Hot Breakfast Month Breakfast is often said to be the most important meal of the day, and that’s why so many of us make a point of getting up in the morning and pouring ourselves a bowl of our favorite cereal. If not cereal, than a cold bagel smeared with cream cheese, and if we’re in a particular hurry, then we’ll have a protein bar or one of the many breakfast bars on the market to see us through the day. Hot Breakfast Month encourages us to break this cycle of coldness and start the day off HOT! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/hot-breakfast-month/

Heart Month There’s an epidemic rolling through America, and its killing thousands of people every year long before their time. It’s quiet, and doesn’t often send warning before it attacks, and when it does it can leave you weak, hurting, and in the most severe cases, dead on the ground. Everyone is susceptible to it, especially men, and it’s taken out everyone from the most sedentary desk worker to professional joggers. Heart Health month encourages you to combat heart disease and add precious years to your life. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/heart-month/

Library Lover's Month Stop hugging that library. No wait, my mistake, I forgot that it’s Library Lovers Month- and it seems to have come at just the right time as many local libraries are struggling during the economic downturn. So why love your local library? Libraries are a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life; they offer security and peace and quiet. They are also a place where you can focus surrounded by likeminded people with the desire to acquire knowledge. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/library-lovers-month/
