I seem to remember this feeling, about a year ago and maybe the years before that? Several times today I have had to remind myself which day it is? When is New Years again? What is it I should be doing? In my infinite wisdom I have read one half of my new book, taken a nap, unloaded my past week's mail from holding, and it looks like I am going to have popcorn for supper! More adventures tomorrow.
So there.
I've been wondering? Do you eat anything special on New Years Day for any particular reason? Health, money or whatever? I seem to remember my family in Indiana having cabbage to bring money? Today I was watching the tv cooking show CHOPPED, and they mentioned black-eyed peas, which was new to me. I googled and found 12 Traditional New Year's Foods That Bring Good Luck in the Year Ahead:
- Pork. (for inspiration?)
- Black-Eyed Peas
- Greens
- Grapes. (12 grapes, 1 for each month?)
- Noodles
- Lentils
- Fish
- Pomegranates
and what not to eat on New Years, here. I am guessing different cultures and locations have different customs? What do you think/know? I think it is so interesting, maybe let me know?
In a moment that feels almost unreal, a humpback whale gently wrapped its fins around a marine scientist and stayed with her for over seven minutes.
Sensing danger, the whale placed its huge body between her and a nearby tiger shark, calmly guiding her and shielding her from harm
There was no panic — only steady, protective movements, as if the whale understood exactly what she needed.
Scientists say humpback whales are known for their deep social bonds and protective instincts, often stepping in to defend other animals from predators.
Moments like this remind us that compassion exists far beyond our own species. Sometimes, help comes from the most unexpected guardian — silent, massive, and incredibly gentle.
Just because ...
