Each year on July 11, people across the United States are trying to make someone happy on Cheer up the Lonely Day. Cheer up the Lonely Day is an opportunity to make a lonely person happy. Any time you can make someone happy; you’ve done a good thing, and should be proud of yourself.
If you know someone who is lonely or going through a difficult time due to health issues, financial reasons, grief due to loss or personal reasons, this was created as a day to reach out to them and try to cheer them up. Your small act of kindness can make a big difference to them.
Spend some time today cheering up lonely people. 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. Sending cards or making a phone call is okay, only if they live too far away to visit. What a lonely person really needs, is face to face time with other people.
