January (Listeni/?d?ænju????ri/ JAN-ew-AIR-ee) is the first month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars and one of seven months with the length of 31 days. The first day of the month is known as New Year’s Day. It is, on average, the coldest month of the year within most of the Northern Hemisphere (where it is the second month of winter) and the warmest month of the year within most of the Southern Hemisphere (where it is the second month of summer). In the Southern hemisphere, January is the seasonal equivalent of July in the Northern hemisphere and vice versa.

Fun share from TDK FB – thanks Dee:
Today in Strangeness: Jan 2
On this date in 1860, the discovery of the planet Vulcan was announced at a meeting of the Academie des Sciences in Paris. Mathematician Urbain Le Verrier believed Vulcan orbited between Mercury and the sun. Doubts about its existence began to surface almost immediately after Le Verrier’s proclamation.

Thought for the day January 2nd 2015
by The Thought Collectors Wife
“Today is a brand new day.
A fresh start.
Replace any negativity with positivity.
Think happy thoughts.
Exercise. Drink lots of water. Fill your body with fuel.
Healthy is happy.
Inspire yourself.
Create. Laugh. Play. Love. Learn.
Give someone a compliment. Make a new friend.
Do a random act of kindness. It creates good karma.
Take chances and finally start living life to its fullest.
But no matter what’s thrown at you today,
smile and remember,
tomorrow’s always a fresh new start.”

Music Quote of the Day:
“… when I saw Jimi Hendrix I knew immediately that this guy was the real thing … and when he played it was like a rough sketch of what he was going to become … this guy was our generation, and he wasn’t in a suit .. he played a Howlin’ Wolf song ‘Killing Floor’, and then we (The Cream) had to carry on the set. It was pretty hard to follow … ”
– Eric Clapton

Quote for today from Colette:
January, month of empty pockets!
let us endure this evil month, anxious as a theatrical producer’s forehead.
– Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

January 5: National Whipped Cream Day
