Today, The second Sunday in May begins:
National Family Month National Family Month is observed during the five-week period between MOTHER’S DAY in May and FATHER’S DAY
in June. It is timed to coincide with the end of the school year, when
families start spending more time together, and also to focus attention
on mothers and fathers as the most powerful support system for their
children.
National Family Month was started by Kids Peace, a private,
not-for-profit organization that has dedicated itself to helping
children attain the confidence and develop the courage to face and
overcome crisis since 1882. Kids Peace has also established National
Kids Day, observed on the third Saturday of September. The organization
believes that such observances provide opportunities for parents,
grandparents, and care-givers to be more involved in the lives of the
children for whom they are responsible. Families are urged to spend
time doing things together during this five-week period, whether it is
taking a family vacation or simply doing chores around the house.

Happiness
Thomas Jefferson "The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have past at home in the bosom of my family. ... public emploiment contributes neither to advantage nor happiness. It is but honorable exile from one's family and affairs." from Respectfully Quoted |
