A friend's love is great. A sweetheart’s love is even greater. But a mother’s love is the greatest. This is a slightly paraphrased proverb and the gospel truth. A mother’s love is an inexhaustible resource that gives, supports, and protects life, happiness, and strength.

One day a year definitely isn’t enough to express all of the gratitude we have for everything our moms do or did for us. But still, Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to tell our moms once again how much we love them and value their care about us through all the years.

Health is our most valuable wealth. And healthy food is the basis of any healthy life. On this day we want to make a healthy gourmet products overview at Marky's Gourmet Blog.

70 years ago, in 1948, the United Nations decided to attach international significance to that good old saying by initiating the formation of the World Health Organization (or WHO). It was officially established in Geneva, Switzerland, on April 7. The same day 61 countries signed the constitution of WHO, setting the main priorities and goals of its performance.

Before we begin, let’s check what astronomy has to tell us this year. With the latest advances in space research and rocketry, it’s almost impossible to miss what’s happening high up above our heads.

History tells us that in the 4th century AD, it was established that Easter Sunday had to fall on or immediately follow the full moon right after the March Equinox. Additionally, the date of the holiday must be taken as the 14th day of the lunar month, the time period between two new moons. History also tells us that the beginning of spring is marked by day and night on Earth being equal length.

Do you also find it hard to believe that the winter is over, and that the spring is coming?

Hopefully, once we all will get used to such rapid pace of time. We’ll certainly have to, as it doesn’t look like it will ever slow down. Yet the good news is that we aren’t helpless before it – we are armed with numerous tips on time management. (Many thanks to the authors of all those bestsellers and blogs.)

Now their recommendations can help us plan our job, study or even travel. They are quite universal and prove to be really effective. But they don’t consider one very important issue – our everyday diet.

February 14 smells of roses, chocolate, and perfume. This special day is one full of beautiful music, the most important words we can ever tell our loved ones, and great food.

From dawn to dusk of this holiday, we feel special, inspired, and hopeful. Even the fact that Valentine’s Day is on a Wednesday this year, right in the middle of another workweek, won’t get us down. On the contrary, it means that we can have a little celebration on Wednesday and a slightly bigger one on the weekend.

How do you know that Christmas is coming? You don’t need a calendar to know it, right? You just feel it when you hear Dean Martin’s or Frank Sinatra’s Christmas songs in the local mall. Or when you suddenly come across a new holiday commercial from Coca-Cola. Or when your kid informs you that she will be Santa’s elf in a school play.

At such moments you realize that along with searching for a nice elf outfit you need to start hunting for presents, to remember where you put those boxes with Xmas ornaments, and to plan an unforgettable celebration in detail.
