Happy Wednesday! 😀 TIME FOR A BREAK!😠😭😤🥺
Creator | C. Knighten

No one is exempt from Stress!! Whether you work, are a stay at home Mom, or just retired....we all experience stress for one reason or another. While a small amount of stress can help us respond to daily changes and protect ourselves.....carrying too much stress for long periods of time can take a toll on both our relationships and our health!

Todays' celebration....is a reminder that we must all take the time to destress and reclaim out peace of mind! 🧘‍♀️National Stress Awareness Day is focused on recognizing the external factors, such as our work environment, financial pressures, or even family challenges....that impact our physical and mental well-being so we can take action to reduce them.

FIVE WAYS TO RESET YOUR STRESS!
🥹LEARN COPING SKILLS:
Developing a practical strategy to manage anxiety prior to it building up....is better than letting it build up to a breaking point!
🤯CONSIDER A 'BRAIN DUMP?"
You cannot control everything. Start by identifying the things you cannot control....and actively practice letting them go......
🚶PHYSICAL ACTIVITY!
Step away from your desk...do some stretches or take a walk around the building....it will help you release any physical tension that you have building up!
🍎EAT FOR FUEL!
Surprisingly, eating a balanced diet will give your body the proper nutrition it needs to cope with stress.
🛀DEVELOP A RELAXING ROUTINE.
Deep breathing, a great massage, or even unwinding in a relaxing bath......all are great practices to help you release pent up stress!

No one is an island....in other words...you may feel like you are alone....but you are not. Before the weight feels too heavy....reach out for support. Speak with your doctor or your employer may offer an employee assistance program with resources that will help.

We wish you a great day! 😀

Room for a 600-person corporate banquet, large-scale weddings, or indoor concerts up to 1,100 people! This new venue surpasses both theJackson Center and Mars Music Hall!
🔹INDOOR-OUTDOOR FLOW:
Features floor-to-ceiling river-facing windows that open up, plus an adjacent courtyard.
🔹THREE-STORY COMPANION BUILDING:
Designed for future lower-level restaurants and a top-floor private meeting space overlooking the water.
🔹GREENWAY & RIVER ACCESS:
Seamlessly tied into the local greenway with boat-anchor access.

As Madison County Commissioner Phil Riddick put it: "There was nothing to do down here unless you owned a boat!" Now, there will be lots to do at the riverfront, giving everyone a new destination to have some fun!!

Have a great day and stay tuned....they are anticipating the ribbon-cutting around mid-November!😀

Happy Friday!! 😀 HALLOWEEN HISTORY FROM THE DARK AGES!🎃
Creator | C. Knighten

I have heard all kinds of stories since I was little....but, rather than falling for 'old wives tales"....lets explore the true history!

CELTIC ROOTS:
🎃SAMHAIN THE ORIGINAL CELEBRATION:
Well before the phrase "trick-or-treating", the ancient Celts celebrated the festival of Samhain. The festival, which began the night of October 31st and conitunied until sunset on November 1st, celebrated closing out the harvest and welcoming the dark of winter. They believed the veil between the living and the dead thinned, allowing spirits to roam the Earth. To confuse and ward off these ghosts, people wore animal skins and masks.
🎃IN HONOR OF CHRISTIAN MARTYRSP
It was only natuarl, when Pope Gregory III, designated November 1st as All S:aints' Day to honor Christian martyrs....that the night before would become known as All Hallows' Eve. It was much later that the name would be condensed and "Halloween" was born!
🎃GOT SOUL CAKES?
During the Middle Ages in Britain, poor citizens practiced "souling!" What is 'souling?" Souling is the practice of going door-to-door to pray for dead relatives in exchange for "soul cakes." Young people in Scotland and Ireland, practiced "guising,".... dressing up to perform songs or tricks for food and coins.
🎃AMERIAN DEBUT:
It wasn't until the 19th Century that "Halloween" arrived on the shores of America. When waves of Irish and Scottish immigrants arrived, they brought their folklore to North America! They also got Pumpkins in the deal, discovering that they were much easier to carve than gourds!

From rowdy pranks to todays' Trunk or Treat and costume competitions....All Hallow's eve has come a long way.....

We wish you a safe and happy Halloween!!😀

Happy Monday!! 😀 IT'S NATIOAL PUMPKIN DAY!🍁
Creator | C. Knighten

Here in the south.....especially 'old school' south...family connections often run generations deep....with roots spreading across the southeast connecting us one to the other, just like pumpkin!

In fact, you may not have been aware.....but pumpkins are kin to cucumbers, zucchni, and watermelons.....which are all part of the 'gourd' family, classifying them as fruit!

While 'pumpkin spice' is a modern trend, the pumpkins's roots run very deep, with a legendary history over 5,000 years old!

THE EVOLVING LEGEND:
🤔WHAT'S IN A NAME? In the 1500s, French explorer Jacques Cartier called them "gros melons." In English, this translates to "pompions," which evolved into our present day "pumpkin"!
🎭TO BE OR NOT TO BE A JACK-O-LANTERN:
All pumpkins are not created equal. Basically, there are two types of winter squash.....ones for carving, and others for baking.😋

HISTORICAL JOURNEY:
🦃A HOLIDAY APART: Originally, Jack-o'-lantern's adorned the tables of festive folk gathering for Thanksgiving. It wasn't until the 1920's that people would carve them and light them up, to celebrate Halloween. 🎃
🌶️A SPICY REVOLUTION: A Starbucks challenge encouraged guests to alternate sips of espresso and bites of pumpkin pie.....you guessed it....creating one of the most recognized 'seasonal flavors' every invented: the Pumpkin Spice Latte! I don't think 350 Million PSL's
🥧A TON OF PIE: In, 2019, a grower from Connecticut smashed records at the Topsfield Fair🎠 with a pumpkin weighing over 2,000 pounds and a sweet prize to the tune of $8,000.

🌱NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS OF PUMPKINS!!
Pumpkins are much more than front porch decorations....even theiir seeds are a powoerhouse snack packed with protein, magnesium, copper, and zinc!

PUMPKIN FACTOID:
🎃Pumpkins, or Curburbta, were domestcated in Mesoanerica dating back between 7,000 to 8,500 BC With history sharibng that they have been cultivated by humans for roughly 7,500 to 10,000 years BC.

Have a great day!😀

Happy Friday!! 😀 SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA LAUGH!!😂
Creator | C. Knighten

If you ever bring up the paranormal / supernatural in a mixed group of people, you will quickly figure out who is superstitious and who is not!🤪 People can be very strange about this topic.....but I have met many people who believe they have either witnessed a ghost or experienced one in their own home.

GREAT GHOST STORIES:
👻TENNESSEE | THE BELL WITCH:
America’s most famous historic haunting. From 1817 to 1821, a shape-shifting entity violently tormented the Bell family, ultimately taking blame for the father’s mysterious death.
👻CHICAGO | RESURRECTION MARY:
There are lots of 'urban legends', but the vanishing hitchhiker has been around sunce the 1930s! Drivers travelling on Archer Avenue, have reported picking up a quiet woman in a white gown. She always wants to go the cemetery...but strangely disappears into thin air.....as they approach.....
👻NORFOLK ENGLAND | THE BROWN LADY:
Since 1726, the spirit of Lady Dorothy Walpole has stalked the Raynhm Hall. In 1936, photographers captured a semi-translucent figure descending the stairs.....becoming one of history's most famous ghost photos. 📸
👻NEW YORK | THE FOX SISTERS:
In 1848, these two sisters are credited with launching the Modern Spiritualism movement. They claimed to communicate with sprits in their house by knocking on the walls. Decades later....strangely enough...real human bones were found hidden inside the cottage walls. 🦴
🎄DICKENS CLASSIC | A CHRISTMAS CAROL:
Since it's debut in 1843, everyone's favorite ghosts haunt Ebenezer Scrooge in this infamous literary treasure. Scrooge’s life-changing Christmas Eve encounter with Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future literally change Ebenezer for the better!!

Whether you believe or not....is up to you.....but the first one....gives me the creeps! We wish you a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!!😀

Happy Wednesday!! 😀 IT'S NATIONAL SHELTER DOG MONTH!🐶
Creator | C. Knighten

I can literally say I love all creatures....though, there are a few I am not fond of.....snakes....spiders....sharks? But the real truth is that of all of God's creatures.....I Itruly love dogs!!

Witht that shared.....there are approximately 3.3 million dogs that will enter our shelters nationwide this year alone! This number is based on statistical data provided by the ASPCA.

Dogs are much more than a statistic....behind these numbers.....there are loyal companions waiting for a fresh start, many with yet to be explored potential! That is why we encourage you to consider adopting a shelter dog to change their life and yours, too!

BENEFITS OF ADOPTING A SHELTER DOG:
🐕🐩BETTER HEALTH AND A FURRY CONNECTION:
Daily walks mean more movement and social time for both you and your pup. In fact, the American Heart Association recommend you get a dog to..... lower your blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, and decrease your triglyceride levels. Research has also linked dog ownership to a 24% reduction in all-cause mortality and lower cardiovascular risk!
🐕‍🦺BUILT IN PATIENCE:
Learning your new friend's unique personality teaches daily mindfulness....and caring for another creature beyond yourself is very gratifying.
🐩VET BACKED CARE:
Shelters partner with veterinarians to heal and rehabilitate dogs before they go home....to ensure that you are getting a healthy new fur friend!!

Whether you are ready to adopt or considering adopting in the near future....you can still have a positive impact in your community by volunteering at your local shelter or by offering to foster a well deserving pup! 🐶

Have a great day!😀
