January 18 - Winnie the Pooh Day 🍯 Today is a tribute to A.A. Milne, author of stories about Winnie the Pooh, who was born on this day in 1882. The stories of the adventures of a bear with very little intelligence and other characters inhabiting the Hundred Thousand Forest are timeless and each of us, regardless of age, is certainly able to find valuable life lessons in them.
