National I Care About You Day

This day was started in 2016, so fairly new but very relevant for all of us, especially in light of Covid-19.??

The pandemic highlighted the importance of having caring people in our lives. Connecting with people whether it’s family, friends or close co-workers makes us feel fulfilled and happy. Healthy relationships lead to healthy lifestyles.? The elderly community are often particularly in need of friendship and caring in their lives.

Interesting friendships . . .? J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis developed a long friendship supporting each other even though they were writing competitors. Helen Kelleher had a long friendship with Mark Twain who called her the eighth wonder of the world!

Try and chat with someone you haven’t spoken to lately or someone who might be alone.? It can do wonders for both of you!
