National Bath Safety Month
Before you grab the bubble, bath, and have a good soak, make sure
you take a few precautionary measures to prevent an accident from happening to
you or a loved one. Each year thousands of people of all ages visit the
emergency room due to bathroom-related slips and falls. The accidents that
occur while bathing is often overlooked but remind us the importance of
recognizing bathroom safety.
Installing slip-resistant strips or mats on the bottom of your
bathtub or shower and having safety handles installed make it easier for
climbing in and out of the tub or shower. It’s also a good idea to make sure
your bathroom floor is clean, free of spills and has a nonslip rug or mat
placed on the floor near the bathtub or shower for balance when exiting.

National Hobby Month
We as human beings have
always had hobbies. It started out with smaller hobbies, such as swimming,
hunting, and drawing on cave walls. We have always done things to keep
ourselves busy during the long days, but where did the word hobby come from?
The origins of the word hobby
suggest that initially it was the word given to pursuits that others thought
somewhat childish or trivial. However, as early as 1676 Sir Matthew Hale, in
Contemplations Moral and Divine, wrote “Almost every person hath some hobby
horse or other wherein he prides himself.” He was acknowledging that a “hobby
horse” produces a legitimate sense of pride. By the mid-18th century hobbies
flourished as working people had more regular hours of work and greater leisure
time.
All month
long, this celebration is one of the easiest things to do. All we must do, is
enjoy our hobbies.
