Suggested Family Activity • Summer Reading: National Loving Day

Tomorrow is National Loving Day.  This is the perfect day to extend loving kindness to others around you.  One way to show loving acts of kindness is by using your manners and being polite, such as saying “Please” and “Thank you” and holding open a door for someone and then stepping back to allow them to enter in front of you.  Another way to be loving to others is to go visit family and friends, if you can, and tell them how much they mean to you.  You could also visit an elderly person who lives alone or has recently lost their spouse.  More times than not, the best “thing” we can do for someone is to show our loving kindness by just taking out time to visit with them.  This lets them know that we are thinking of them and that they are special to us.

Don’t forget your pets today either.  Pets get lonely while adults are at work and children are at school.  Make a point to spend time with your pets to show them how much you love them.  We would love to see your pictures!  And remember, we are also posting pictures of children and adults reading to their animals (whether real or stuffed) as part of our Summer Reading Program activities.  Send your picture to us at summerreading@nereg.lib.ms.us.
