A New Year’s Resolution – Pay Attention to Nature Around You
SUMMARY: Start the new year with a simple resolution: spend one minute each day appreciating nature. Amid our busy lives, taking just 60 seconds can reveal the beauty around us, like a leaf falling or birds singing. To make this a habit, choose a consistent time daily—perhaps while sipping your morning coffee. This brief pause can set a positive mood or provide calm during a hectic day. Ultimately, becoming aware of nature fosters a deeper connection and understanding of our environment, encouraging better stewardship. Embrace these moments to appreciate the natural world that we often overlook.

SUMMARY: As the year comes to a close, it’s common to feel a blend of confusion during the days between Christmas and New Year. To navigate this period, consider five productive actions: 1) Reflect on the past year to evaluate successes and areas for improvement. 2) Set unique personal and professional goals for the upcoming year. 3) Engage in deep cleaning, donating unused items. 4) Clear electronic clutter by managing emails and apps. 5) Schedule appointments for health and wellness in advance. These steps can bring clarity and stability in transitioning into the new year, ensuring a fulfilling start to 2025.

SUMMARY: Mayonnaise, a classic sauce, has debated origins, with France and Spain both claiming its invention. Introduced to the U.S. in the 19th century as a fine-dining sauce, it became widely popular thanks to Richard Hellman, whose house-made mayo led to the creation of the still-famous Hellman’s brand. Mayo often divides opinions, with strong reactions rooted in its texture. It is easy to make using one egg, quality oil, and an immersion blender. Substituting olive oil and garlic creates aioli, a versatile dip. Duke’s and Kewpie are among the top commercial options, but exploring different brands is encouraged.

SUMMARY: Many Mississippians may have already taken down their Christmas trees, but some cherish the post-holiday ambiance. The author recalls fond family traditions of decorating the tree only after school breaks, emphasizing a reluctance to take it down, as it symbolizes the end of cherished family time. Interestingly, the practice of leaving trees up until January 6 stems from the tradition of the 12 Days of Christmas, honoring the visit of the Magi. Thus, procrastinating tree removal may align with this age-old custom—celebrating the holiday spirit a bit longer while being mindful to take decorations down by the deadline.
