Tidbit Tuesday (What can sleep for up to 3 years???)

 In today’s fast paced society, many of us may like to add a few more rest hours to our day or perhaps have a whole day to catch up on much needed sleep.  If we were snails, we wouldn’t have to worry about catching up on sleep.

Today’s Tidbit : “A snail can sleep up to 3 years.”

Now that is truly being well rested.

Tidbit Tuesday : " Honoring Whitney Houston"

 

     There are millions of  artists out there including fine artists, singers, songwriters, book authors, actors…However, many live there whole life without receiving any recognition for their creativity and hard work.  Recently, there was a popular artist who has tragically left us who collected record breaking awards for her talent.

Today’s Tidbit: “Whitney Houston collected 400 awards throughout her career.”

    If that doesn’t spell talent, I am not sure what does.

We love to hear your comments.
