July 11- Cheer Up the Lonely Day
Cheer Up the Lonely Day is an opportunity to make a lonely person happy. It’s easy to do…..just spend some time with them. When you visit, bring happy things to talk about. Keep the conversation upbeat and lively. When you leave, give a big hug and let them know you enjoyed the stay.
How many times have you thought of sending just “a little something” to a sick relative, your recently divorced friend or the widower down the block, just to cheer them up? Today, send those people you’ve thought of silly ecards and quick emails just so they know you thought of them. Make out-of-the-blue phone calls to brighten their day.
Make a list of everyone you can send a card to, and after work, head to the greeting card store and buy a bunch. Jotting a little note, signing, addressing and putting postage on them is more ‘work’ to do after dinner, but you’ll feel wonderful knowing you made someone’s day!
