National Day of Joy: A day to celebrate the simple things in life
“Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” as the old Bobby McFerrin song goes. But these days, when trouble and strife can sometimes seem like a way of life, it can be challenging to turn that frown upside down. And that’s why observing the National Day of Joy on the last Wednesday in June is so worthwhile.
The National Day of Joy was created in 2019 by an organization of caregivers providing support for seniors. The goal was to emphasize the importance of being joyful because enjoying everyday moments can enhance your sense of well-being. It’s since evolved into a day for people of all ages to celebrate the simple things in life that don’t involve material possessions, such as nature, family, and friendship.
