National Backward Day is celebrated on January 31, encouraging us to do things oppositely. It’s a time to take a look at our actions to see how reversing them can be effective and fun at the same time. One example of how doing things backward can be enlightening is by reverse poetry, which is a form that uses a reverse method to convey different messages depending on how the poem is read. They can be read forwards top to bottom with one meaning and backward from bottom to top with another. Consider finding new ways to do things in reverse. This can be a fun way to exercise the brain in silly ways.

Sounds of yodeling will fill the air today, as it is Yodel For Your Neighbors Day. Yodeling is created by quickly alternating the voice back and forth between the low pitch chest register, and the high pitches of the head register—a register also known as falsetto. The word "yodel" is derived from the German word "jodeln," which means "to utter the syllable jo"—said as "yo" in English. Shepherds in the Alps yodeled to communicate with others long distances away, and to round up cattle. The first written record of yodeling dates to 1545. African tribes such as the Pygmy and Bantu, as well as others, historically used yodeling in their songs, and still do today. Yodeling is also an important part of European folk music, particularly in Switzerland, Austria, and Southern Germany.

Have you ever heard someone yodel in real life? Who?

Freethinkers Day falls around the birthday of Thomas Paine, a prominent thinker in his day. Writing the pamphlet Common Sense and inspiring many to actively consider America as Independent.

Celebrate Freethinkers Day in a way that sets you free from thoughtless, or "auto-pilot" style living. Ponder through again.

Seeking the why of things can be very satisfying. Hmmm, what OIls will I choose for this exercise? Probably Peppermint, rosemary, and wild orange. Yummy

National Lego Day, on January 28, celebrates these incredibly ingenious and enriching toys.

Did you play with Legos as a child? Did you keep them sorted by shape or color?
