National Cherry Popsicle Day
These refreshing, frozen treats are a fantastic way to cool off on a hot August day, and National Cherry Popsicle Day is the perfect excuse to have one!
Popsicles are made of 100% fruit and juice, so they are both healthy and delicious. Cherry, not surprising, is the most popular fruit flavored popsicle. Head over to your local grocery store or try making your own at home!
Today is also National Dog Day

Quote of the Day:
"It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for." --Benjamin E. Mays
