It’s National Chewing Gum Day!! Chewing Gum it is the best and worst of both worlds. I remember as a kid chomping on bubble gum and learning to blow a bubble with it. I remember being so proud I remember my brother smashing that really world record bubble so it stuck on my face and in my hair. I remember at Halloween putting that double bubble in my mouth and almost breaking a tooth because it was so hard… Now that I am older, it is nothing but Extra, the Long Lasting Flavor Spearmint Gum… When I am driving alone every once in awhile I’ll try to blow that ultimate bubble but it just isn’t the same. BUT I’ll celebrate today with joy because I know humans have used chewing gum for over 5,000 years and I am apart of a cool club of chewers…

And fancy this… It is National Love People Day. Is that an ultimately awesome day or what? This day asks us to lift others up through the profound power of unconditional love. The word “unconditional” on its own is quite profound. Look at its synonyms: wholehearted, unqualified, unreserved, unlimited, unrestricted, unmitigated, unquestioning, complete, total, entire, full, absolute, unequivocal. Those words are dedicated, solid, and unwavering from their commitment to something. There are no boundaries or limitations with the word “unconditional.” If you add the word love, and the power of the phrase multiplies. So, on National Love People Day, offer kindness and care to the people in your community. AND I have even one more step further you can take this day…. Submit a note, a letter, an e-mail or text to Krick Kares for someone that you want to recognize. Make someone’s day for making your day! One can never pass on too much kindness!!
