NATIONAL PIE DAY

MIND

Richard Dean Anderson 1950 – (MacGyver)

Cult Corner: Watch The Original 'MacGyver' And Forget The Reboot | Decider

“Another day, a whole ‘nother set of fresh possibilities … I’m a sucker for mornings.” – MacGyver 

*Be a sucker for this morning as a new beginning. Watch an episode of MacGyver and it will help you realize that you can overcome any obstacle today.

BODY

Walter Frederick Morrison 1920

When Walter Morrison died in 2010, his family cremated him and turned him into the very toy Morrison invented in 1955, then under the name Pluto Platter.

It would later become one of the most successful toys of all-time under the new name adopted by Wham-O: the Frisbee.

*Go outside with a friend and throw a Frisbee around. Take today to think about your funeral arrangements.

SOUL

Chesley Sullenberger 1951

*For an uplifting story, you can watch the movie Sully or read some blogs from the birthday boy himself.

MONEY

“John Hancock” is synonymous with “signature.”

*What will your name be synonymous with when you are gone? At the very least, you can leave a legacy of some financial independence to those you have left behind. Take today to focus on your life insurance and if it will be enough to provide for your family after your passing. Use the John Hancock website on his birthday to research not only life insurance but also investing and retirement plans.

ENTERTAINMENT

Mariska Hargitay 1964 – watch Law and Order SVU

I was born in Northwestern Pennsylvania and lived in a trailer park. I was raised by very conservative and religious (Wesleyan Methodist) parents. By some miracle I graduated college and moved to Florida. I have been a public school teacher since 1995. I have 7 years until I can retire. I was married in 1999 and divorced in 2001. I remarried in 2017 to Kate - 21 years my junior. Some of my life experiences as a 46-year-old, white American male, will come through in my writing, but the majority of this daily journey will be dedicated to improving myself, and hopefully you as well.
