March 16th is National Wellderly Day

At a time when most long term care and related facilities are on lockdown due to the COVID-19 virus, today is a day to celebrate their health and safety. Dr. Dale Anderson created National Wellderly Day "in an effort to promote the health benefits of happiness, humor, and laughter."

Some of the ways to celebrate today include starting each day by standing in front of a mirror and letting out a huge belly laugh, in order to set the tone for the day ahead. Of course, we can do that at any age! By taking care of themselves and enjoying life to the fullest, Dr. Anderson feels that those who are elderly will instead be "WELLderly." Dr. Anderson even wrote a book called Never Act Your Age, about how humor and laughter can have many health benefits at any age.

?And for those of us who are unable to visit their parents right now due to lockdown situations, we can pick up the phone, send a card, or find other ways to let them know we are thinking about and love them.
