Good morning and
welcome to Morning Cereal.
Okay good morning and
welcome to hump day.
That's Wednesday.
In the event you didn't already know that
was a nickname for Wednesday.
Well either way today is
also National Sugar Cookie Day.
So we really can just stop right there
unless it's also National
Chocolate Chip Cookie Day.
No, no, okay.
My people are telling me it's not.
Well let's munch into our quote for today
from someone who knows about eating boxes
of sweets.
Here's a little wisdom from Tom Hanks who
said quote, "If it
wasn't hard everyone would
do it.
It's the hard that makes it great."
End quote.
It's simple, it's honest
and it's classic Hanks.
And it's a reminder that the struggles
you're having they're
not a sign you're failing.
It's proof you're doing
something that's worthwhile.
Alright well today's news facts and
birthdays are for July
9th and we're going to start
back in 2001.
That's when the Office Mockumentary
created by Ricky
Gervaisis and Stephen Merchant.
Well it premiered on the BBC 2 in the UK.
And then lastly in 2023 the fantasy
comedy film Barbie
starring Margaret Robbie and Ryan
Gosling.
Well it premiered at the Shrine
Auditorium in Los Angeles.
Well happy birthday to you.
If today is your birthday you share a
birthday with Fred Savage.
He's the actor from
the Wonder Years right?
He's 49.
Next rocker and songwriter Courtney Love
she's 61 today and
everybody's father figure Tom
Hanks he's 69 today.
Well the number one song on this date
back in 1986 was "Holdin'
Back the Years" by Simply
Red.
This is one of my favorite songs from the
80s because it's just such a smooth it's
got a laid back vibe with an emotional
pull to it really and
it actually hits a little
harder now that I'm older.
Well the song earned a Grammy nomination
and I love this song.
Alright well for the book review today
I'm going to suggest
"Try Quiet" by Susan Cain
and it's a tribute to
introverts everywhere.
Perfect for those who recharge at home
and not at parties and
as a self-proclaimed and
actual introvert this will be added to my
list of must read books.
Well whether you're baking cookies or
just repeating to
yourself that you're "k'nuff"
remember life's sweetest moments often
come in small bites.
