Welcome to September 9th on the National Day Calendar. Today, we're embracing the warmth of a snuggly friend and spreading kindness far and wide. It's National Teddy Bear Day, the timeless companion that's always there to offer comfort and solace. The Teddy Bear, named after President Theodore Roosevelt, became a symbol of comfort and companionship in the early 20th century. From childhood to adulthood, Teddy Bears have provided countless hugs and dried many tears, mobilizing love and security, whether it's that worn-out teddy bear from your childhood or the one you just bought, hold it close and cherish the memories forever. You know the origins of the Teddy Bear? I don't. Are you going to tell me? Well, we don't have enough time to talk about it, but this is your homework assignment, Toyo, look it up today, go Google it, or however, and you're going to be amazed at the story behind the Teddy Bear. Okay, what if showing you care was as simple as a kind gesture or a thoughtful word, inspired by the carebears who spread messages of love and kindness since the 1980s, today encourages us to do the same in our daily lives. Whether it's helping a neighbor or supporting a friend or simply sharing a smile, your actions can make a big difference. Take a moment to reach out and show someone you care, because today is National Share Your Care Day. I still have my care bear from when I was a kid. What? I know, right? Did you take, like, really good care of it or is it all? Well, I mean, we had to replace some eyes and sew back some limbs a couple times, but it's just like new, like, it's amazing, I love it. Just like new, huh? I love it all the time, and it's the perfect day, like, this is the perfect day to compare with carebears and teddy bear, like, I love that. I just want to, come here, Marlowe, bring it in. Give me a hug, you're like a big teddy bear, come on, bring it in. All right. And I'm the Washington Marlow Anderson, and you were joining us on our journey to celebrate and love every day. Until next time, keep celebrating. Speaking of sharing, thank you for sharing your photos yesterday for National Grandparents Day. That was kind of cool to see those. And, you know, we do that from time to time. I had a lot of good response recently about National Pizza Day and Banana Split Day and all of that. Thanks for that on Facebook. Mike Moore Media. All right.

He had over 55 releases with Brazil 66. Day after day, although I'm on a hill, the man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still. But nobody wants to know him, they can see that he's just a fool, and he never gives the answer but the fool on the hill, sees the sun going down, and the eyes in his head and the sun is still on the hill, and the sun is still on the hill, and the sun is still on the hill. But nobody ever hears him on the side he appears to make, and he never seems to know him, but the fool on the hill, sees the sun going down, and the eyes in his head, see the world. And the sun is still on the hill, see the sun going down, and the sun is still on the hill, and nobody seems to like him, they can tell what he wants to do, and he never shows his feelings but the fool on the hill, sees the sun going down, and the eyes in his head, see the world. And the sun is still on the hill, see the sun going down, and the sun is still on the hill. And the sun is still on the hill, see the sun going down, see the sun, see the sun going down, see the sun going down, see the sun going down, see the sun going down, see the sun going down.
