NATIONAL TOASTED MARSHMALLOW DAY
|
On August 30th be sure to stock up on one of America’s favorite fire roasted treats. It’s National Toasted Marshmallow Day!
|
|
Get your friends together, gather up some firewood, a few long sticks and a bag of marshmallow and you have the makings of a great night ahead of you.
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 GRIEF AWARENESS DAY
|
When a loved one dies, the void they leave affects everyone differently. On August 30th,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.
On National Grief Awareness Day take stock of those in your life who have been effected by a form of loss.
|
|
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 routines.
Offer to listen to a friend or ask them to join you for a coffee or tea. Send a message letting them know they are never far from your mind and set a date for another visit. 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.
