Memorial Day Means More Than a Long Weekend
SUMMARY: Memorial Day, observed on the last Monday of May since the 1970s, traces its origins to the late 1800s, initially as Decoration Day on May 30 to honor Civil War soldiers by decorating graves. The observance was formalized in Waterloo, New York in 1866 and became a national event in 1868 with ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery. Over time, it expanded to honor fallen soldiers from all U.S. wars and was officially renamed Memorial Day in 1967. The Uniform Monday Holiday Bill of 1968 shifted its observance to create three-day weekends, making it a federal holiday. While it signals summer’s start, Memorial Day also honors those who sacrificed their lives.

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: 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.
