I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today for you I have another post about games but this time I am talking about board games.

I have fond memories while growing up playing various board games with family and friends including Monopoly, Checkers, Battleship, Sorry! and Candy Land just to name a few.

These days it is rare for me to play board games however I still enjoy it. Although I play chess nearly every day, it is virtual and not on a board.

Board games have been around for over 5000 years with the earliest known game called Senet from ancient Egypt.

If you go to a toy store today you will find entire sections dedicated to board games most of which I have never played.

What is your favorite board game❓

If you invented a board game what would it be called❓

I think I would create a board game that would be fun with others or by yourself so you could always play without needing another player.

AUTOBÚS / BOOS = “BUS” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today for you I have a post about public transportation.

There are a few different types of public transportation including buses, subways and even monorails to name a few.

In Lansing there is the CATA bus (Capital Area Transportation Authority) service that I ride often in fact I am waiting on a bus right now.

The price is usually cheaper than taking a car service or the price of gas with a trade off with the extended travel time and wait time.

I have gotten used to planning for the extra time and with my card for veterans from CATA I ride free. Not having to pay for a car payment, car maintenance, car insurance and gas has saved me a considerable amount of money each month.

Now with the warmer weather I will also be able to ride my bike and only rely on public transportation when it rains.

Riding public transportation also benefits the environment with less net pollution.

Another perk of riding the bus is I am able to do something productive during the ride like create or review my schedule, check e mail, learn something with an app or even just relax and read or listen to a podcast.

I am grateful there is public transportation in my city.

Have you ever traveled via public transportation❓

SOL / SOLEIL = “SUN” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

In Spanish and French, the word for “sun” is pronounced as follows (click below):

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today for you I have a post about “Our” star, the sun. ☀️⭐️

Today I was thinking about how we measure temperature with respect to how and why we use and determine the temperature of something. 🤔

Interestingly enough on its own, is the method used to come up with a reference point that established the temperature scale using the characteristics of water that can be observed in nature with water going from liquid to ice to gas when freezing and boiling. 💧🫖🧊

A man with the last name Celsius used the 3 states of water mentioned above as something to create and apply a unit of measurement to. 100 and 0 was used for the scale with what was originally 0 degrees Celsius being the temperature when water begins to boil and 100 degrees Celsius being the temperature when water froze. With even increments of 1 now representing each degree 1-99 between the two established points those being 0 and 100 to identify the temperature of 2 things as reference (freeze boil points of water) to now be able to identify the temperature of other things using this scale. If it is hotter than boiling water it is less than zero degrees celsius (decreasing by increments of 1 with negative values -1, -2, -3 etc) and if colder than frozen water it would be more than 100 degrees (increasing by increments of 1 degree celsius 101,102,103 etc) and where things that fall between given a value based on where it fell on the 0-100 scale when measured.

After the Celsius scale was established it was later reversed to the current day standard of 100 being the temperature water begins to boil and 0 in which water freezes and makes more sense considering if it is hotter (meaning MORE heat not LESS heat) it would intuitively be a higher number. 🌡️

Now on to the day’s post star of the show. 😉

The sun is the only star in our solar system and without the sun our planet would be a ball of ice and not be hospitable for life on Earth as we know it. 🥶

The weather was absolutely beautiful today and the most beautiful weather of 2025 thus far. I was able to appreciate our star while out and about today when walking through the city to handle the day’s affairs. 🚶🏻

Here are some interesting facts about the ball of “fire” in the sky:

	1.	It’s a giant, but not the biggest: The Sun’s diameter is about 1.39 million km (864,000 miles), and it could fit around 1.3 million Earths inside it — but it’s still a medium-sized star compared to others in the universe.
	2.	It’s mostly hydrogen and helium: The Sun is about 74% hydrogen, 24% helium, and 2% heavier elements. Through nuclear fusion, it converts hydrogen into helium, producing the energy that lights and warms our planet.
	3.	It takes sunlight 8 minutes to reach Earth: Even though light travels at about 299,792 km per second (186,282 miles per second), the Sun is so far away — about 93 million miles (150 million km) — that sunlight takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds to get here.
	4.	The Sun’s core is unimaginably hot: Temperatures at the core reach about 15 million°C (27 million°F) due to the immense pressure and fusion reactions happening there.
	5.	It’s a middle-aged star: The Sun is about 4.6 billion years old and is currently in its main sequence phase, where it has been for about 4 billion years. It’s expected to stay stable for about 5 billion more years before expanding into a red giant and eventually becoming a white dwarf.
	6.	The Sun rotates — but not like Earth: Because the Sun is a giant ball of gas and plasma, different parts rotate at different speeds. The equator rotates in about 25 days, while areas near the poles take about 35 days.
	7.	It has powerful solar storms: The Sun’s solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) release bursts of charged particles and magnetic fields that can disrupt satellites, power grids, and even produce beautiful auroras on Earth.
	8.	The Sun’s gravity holds the solar system together: The Sun’s immense mass — about 99.86% of the total mass of the solar system — creates gravity strong enough to keep planets, asteroids, comets, and other objects in orbit around it.
	9.	It influences space weather: The solar wind, a constant stream of charged particles from the Sun, shapes the heliosphere, a protective bubble around our solar system, and interacts with planetary magnetic fields.
	10.	The Sun “rings” like a bell: The Sun experiences acoustic waves that travel through its interior — kind of like sound waves — allowing scientists to study its structure through a process called helioseismology.

What fact did you find most interesting❓ I think it is crazy how big the sun is with the sun being able to fit over a million of our planets inside the space it occupies.

VIDEOJUEGO / JEU VIDÉO = “VIDEO GAME” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today for you I have a post about The Super Mario Bros. because March 10 is Mario Day with the date looking like Mario MAR10.

I have mentioned Mario in a previous post but that post was more about video games and this post is about the Super Mario Brothers specifically.

It is the “oldest” video game character that I still play today dating back to my earliest memories of gaming.

I remember playing Mario on the first video game console I ever played on and with each era of new consoles Mario was present or was brought back into the mix and remains to this current day.

Here are some interesting facts about one of the world’s most famous plumbers:

	1.	Mario’s first appearance wasn’t in Super Mario Bros.: Mario debuted in Donkey Kong (1981) as “Jumpman.” He was a carpenter trying to rescue his girlfriend, Pauline, from the giant ape.
	2.	Mario became a plumber because of the pipes: In Super Mario Bros. (1985), the underground pipe-based levels influenced Mario’s profession switch from carpenter to plumber — which just made more sense in the context of the game.
	3.	Mario’s design was shaped by technical limitations: His iconic mustache, hat, and overalls were practical choices to make his features stand out on the low-resolution screen of the early ’80s. The mustache helped define his face, the hat avoided the need for animating hair, and the overalls made his arm movements more visible.
	4.	The birth of the Mushroom Kingdom: The idea of a fantastical world full of pipes, magic mushrooms, and turtles was inspired by Japanese folklore and fairy tales. The power-up mushrooms were partly inspired by the idea of mushrooms having mystical, growth-enhancing properties.
	5.	The Super Mario Bros. theme song is legendary: Koji Kondo’s “Ground Theme” is one of the most recognizable pieces of video game music ever made. It was one of the first times a game’s music changed dynamically with gameplay — speeding up when time runs low, for example.
	6.	The Minus World glitch: The original Super Mario Bros. has a famous glitch that lets players access “World -1,” an endless underwater level. It’s a programming bug that became one of the game’s most well-known secrets.
	7.	Mario went 3D in 1996: Super Mario 64 was a revolutionary leap, introducing open-world 3D platforming and setting a standard for the genre. It remains one of the most influential games of all time.
	8.	He’s had a ton of jobs: Beyond plumbing, Mario has been a doctor (Dr. Mario), a kart racer (Mario Kart), an athlete (Mario Tennis, Mario Golf), an artist (Mario Paint), and even a referee (Punch-Out!!).
	9.	Super Mario Galaxy defied gravity: The Super Mario Galaxy games (2007, 2010) added a creative twist to the platforming formula by incorporating spherical, gravity-based levels, where Mario could run upside down on planets and deal with shifting gravitational pulls.
	10.	Mario went open-world in Super Mario Odyssey (2017): This game combined the open-ended exploration of Mario 64 with innovative mechanics, like Mario’s sentient hat, Cappy, which lets him possess enemies and objects.
	11.	Mario’s still evolving today: With games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder (2023) bringing fresh gameplay ideas, creative power-ups, and new art styles, Mario continues to stay innovative while staying true to his roots.
	12.	The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) was a huge success: After the infamous 1993 live-action adaptation, the animated Super Mario Bros. Movie was much more faithful to the games and became one of the highest-grossing animated films ever.
	13.	He’s a gaming icon worldwide: Mario’s cultural impact goes beyond games — he’s appeared in cartoons, comics, movies, and theme parks like Super Nintendo World.

Do you have any Mario memories?

RELACIÓN / RAPPORT = “RATIO” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today for you I have a post about the ratio of the types of food on your plate in a meal.

A common recommendation by those of the “Health” experts as a way to “eyeball” (using a visual approach to evaluating) what your plate should look like with the amounts of each type of food on your plate with respect to healthy eating is the 50/25/25 approach.

The following ratio 50% fruits and veggies, 25% protein and 25% healthy whole grains is the 50/25/25 method.

You can see that fruits and veggies makes up the majority of the meal with the other half of the plate shared equally by a healthy protein option and a healthy whole grain option.

The protein should if possible be something that is high in quality protein (perhaps an organic free range chicken breast) and if fat is apart of the protein be mindful of the type and amount. Just because the protein option includes fat does not mean that is a bad thing with examples like salmon and tuna having healthy fats that make up the majority of fat present in that option in addition to other nutrients like Omega-3 which benefits brain health.

The whole grain should be something that is free of pesticides and includes things like fiber and maybe even protein. An example of a good option for a whole grain would be a spouted grain bread without additives and preferably organic and whole grain to avoid things that would not meet the “organic” label and whole as to preserve as much as possible of the beneficial nutrients found in that grain after processing.

The fruits and veggies allow the most options considering it makes up half the plate and the number of each type of fruit or veggie could be 2 or over a dozen perhaps with a fruit and or vegetable medley. The choices should be as high of quality as possible like single ingredient variations like organic blueberries not canned blueberries with added syrup and sugar. The options may be or a combination of fresh (my preference), dried, frozen, canned and maybe a sauce if it is meets the healthy criteria for what the sauce is made of like a mash of fresh raspberries.

This 50/25/25 approach takes less effort than creating a meal with all the information about each ingredient being known by making it more about the categories each ingredient belongs while keeping in mind the grade of quality as to what is eligible.

Here is an example of a day with each meal being a 50/25/25 meal.

Breakfast: 1 large organic orange with half its weight in organic oatmeal and half its weight in scrambled eggs.

Lunch: A turkey sandwich with breast from a free range organic chicken sliced for an open faced sandwich with a slice of sprouted whole grain organic toast for a sandwich weighing as much as a salad (maybe a Caesar) making up the other 50 percent of the meal.

Dinner: Half the plate being steamed organic frozen broccoli and carrots with the other half of the plate split between organic white rice and a filet of wild caught Alaskan Cod.

It is fun and easy to create a healthy menu once you have a goal of what the meals should include with respect to nutrition and knowing what menu items can meet the nutrition goal. The portions are taking care of in advance with 50/25/25 and what the total weight of the meal is decided will be by your health requirements and lifestyle.

How would you fill your plate for a 50/25/25 meal❓

Today for you I have a post about cousins.

I know you have fond memories of and also have yet to meet all of your cousins.

It is common for cousins to be some of our closest family and “friends” when growing up and sometimes even later in life.

This was true for me and also true for you.

Although living near cousins may not be true now I am grateful it once was to allow you the opportunity to experience having cousins to spend time with early in life.

I seen some of your cousins today and they miss you and I hope one day soon you can hang out with them again.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have cousins or cousins around the same age to be able to bond and create lasting memories with one another.

I am grateful you were able to experience and appreciate cousins like I did.

YOGA / YOGA = “YOGA” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

Howl you doing❓

Today for you I have a post about my return to Hot Yoga 😎

It has been well over a year since I have been in a yoga studio. Today I broke that dry spell with a sweaty splash with my return to a home away from home in Yoga Connect Lansing and took the “Friday Night Flow” hot yoga class.

I was somewhat surprised with how easy it was for me to not only complete the entire hour without any breaks but also push myself while doing so.

The class was instructed by a teacher I have not had before but everything else was familiar right down to the smell.

The pace felt great and an hour whizzed on by which is an indicator that I was present and in a “flow state” (being able to remain present and focused on the task at hand).

My mind and body immediately appreciated the previous hour upon completion of the class and I am happy that I was not only back in the studio but excited to make it a regular activity throughout the weeks ahead.

I have and will continue to share yoga as a topic however as far as updates with my practice only milestones and “special” occasions seem worth mentioning.

PRIMAVERA / PRINTEMPS = “SPRING” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today for you I have a post about Spring and the arrival of warmer weather.

It has been a fairly cold winter and soon it will be another season that will look and feel very different, spring.

One of the things that I look forward to the most is riding my bike. I rode more miles last year on my bike than the previous 10 years combined.

I am also looking forward to not having to wear layers, winter coats, gloves and hats just to go for a 10 minute walk.

I also like the idea of not having to stomp my boots to get all the snow off to not bring snow into my home. I do not like wet socks and there will be less wet socks in my near future.

I did enjoy the beauty of a snow covered landscape and the icicles decorating the city buildings along the streets in addition to the Christmas lights that have been yet to be taken down (bonus if they remain after the holidays).

I also enjoyed the crisp air and smell of winter as an invigorating boost when heading out the door to handle the tasks of the day.

Considering I have been getting around by foot, public transportation and my bike as the primary means of transportation for the last two years, as it warms up I can use the familiarity with that approach to spend less time navigating and planning my routes to appreciating what can be observed from here to there.

This year I plan on taking more walks with the intention of taking longer and scenic routes without another motivation being the main reason I am out and about (pies) and learning how to service my bike so I have less of a need for the local bike shop to bail me out when an issue with my bike occurs.

What are you looking forward to with the warmer weather around the corner? What will you be excited about for next winter?

Enjoy the weather any way you can❕

AGRADECIDO(A) / RECONNAISSANT(E) = “GRATEFUL” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷 (FEMININE)

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today for you I have a post about GRATUITY and being GRATEFUL.

I am grateful for each day and intentionally practice gratuity outside moments I observe opportunities to express my gratitude.

The more I practice gratitude the more it seems opportunities to express my gratitude exist.

For example when someone does something with you in mind that they think you would appreciate it is an opportunity to express your gratitude to that person with something that acknowledges the effort perhaps with but not limited to saying “thank you”.

Moments similar to the example above are experienced fairly regularly and when doing things for others that you think they would appreciate it increases these moments you will experience.

You can also be grateful for things like the opportunities, weather, someone recovering from illness or any given experience.

I take time with the intent to be a daily habit to manufacture moments of gratuity by focusing on what I am and could be grateful for in the form of writing down things I am grateful for and being present when interacting with others or during any given experience when an opportunity may present itself for which I am grateful and express my gratuity to whom or what made me grateful.

I hope you take time to notice, ask yourself and appreciate that what makes you grateful when you have become aware that you are.

Always let others know when you are grateful for them and or what they did so the gratuity is recognized by others and can accompany the experience in the present moment or memory when your gratuity is observed.

I am most GRATEFUL FOR YOU❕

LAGO / LAC = “LAKE” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

Today for you I have a post about “The Great Lakes”.

The Great Lakes are the only freshwater sources of fish I will eat outside of the ocean, because they taste less like pond water.

I also prefer swimming in the Great Lakes over any other body of water including the ocean because cleanliness and safety from marine predators.

I also like how close we are to Lake Michigan and should visit more often to gaze into a horizon that is the furthest away and nothing but water.

Here are some interesting facts about The Great Lakes:

1. Largest Freshwater System: The Great Lakes — Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario — make up the largest group of freshwater lakes on Earth by total surface area, covering about 94,600 square miles (245,000 km²).

2. 20% of the World’s Freshwater: They contain about 20% of the world’s surface freshwater and about 84% of North America’s freshwater.

3. Lake Superior’s Size: Lake Superior is the largest, deepest, and coldest of the five. It’s the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area and could hold the water from all the other Great Lakes combined — with room to spare.

4. Shipwrecks Galore: The Great Lakes have thousands of shipwrecks, with estimates ranging between 6,000 and 8,000. Lake Superior alone is home to the famous wreck of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, which sank in 1975.

5. Border Between Two Countries: The Great Lakes form part of the border between the United States and Canada, touching eight U.S. states and the Canadian province of Ontario.

6. Unique Ecosystem: They support a rich and diverse ecosystem with more than 3,500 species of plants and animals, including many found nowhere else in the world.

7. Lake Michigan’s Uniqueness: Lake Michigan is the only Great Lake entirely within the United States. The others are shared with Canada.

8. Formation: The Great Lakes were formed about 14,000 years ago during the last Ice Age, when melting glaciers carved out the basins and filled them with water.

9. Coastline Length: The total shoreline of the Great Lakes is about 10,900 miles (17,549 km) — longer than the coastline of the entire continental United States.

10. Weather Impact: The lakes have a huge influence on weather in the region, creating lake-effect snow in winter and moderating temperatures in nearby areas year-round.

What fact did you find most interesting? I was surprised to find out the total length of the Great Lakes coastline was greater than the continental coastline.
