Be An Angel Day — observed on August 22 each year, pushes us to become someone’s angel of sorts. Whether it is a grand gesture (sponsoring someone’s education) or small (saying ‘thank you’ when someone helps you), a good gesture goes a long way towards sending goodwill out into the world. By supporting someone in need (or recalling someone who supported you), you celebrate the very essence of this day.

HOW TO CELEBRATE BE AN ANGEL DAY

1.     Be an angel to someone

Find various ways to let the people in your life know you see them and appreciate them. Help your folks fix things around the house, show affection to your kids, help your partner around the house, volunteer your time at a retirement home, or simply listen to your coworker who might be having a bad day. Small gestures can go a long way towards making people feel happy.

2.     Let the past go

Do you have grudges or grievances against someone? Have you still not buried the hatchet with that angry neighbor? Take a minute and forgive. Why not start with our suggestions in Global Forgiveness Day.

3.     Support your furry friends, too

It’s not just humans that need some love and care. Spend quality time with your fur babies, give some time to local animal shelters, and maybe think of giving a furry buddy a new home.
