What is National Cheer Up The Lonely Day?

On National Cheer Up the Lonely Day, people from around the country make a special effort to give someone a lift on National Cheer Up the Lonely Day each year.

#cheerupthelonelyday

If you know someone who is lonely or going through a difficult period, be a shining spot in their life with a little more care today. If their loneliness is owing to health problems, financial reasons, grief due to loss, or personal reasons, loneliness can be overwhelming. Use this day to remind those people in your life who need a little extra love and care. Your little act of kindness can make a huge difference to them. One word or special consideration may lighten their world at just the right time.

We are all lonely from time to time. The gift of companionship and assistance when we least expect it will not solve our problems, but it does help, a little.
