National Shut-in Visitation Day
National Shut-In Visitation Day, February 11th, serves as a reminder to people who are unable to leave their homes. Making a positive difference in the person's life makes a positive difference.
Someone who is shut-in stays in their house due to physical, mental, or emotional reasons. These conditions can cause a person to feel lonely, lonely, sad, and cut off from the rest of the world.. Often, they don't have family and friends available to visit and spend time with them. Many people do not have any kind of companionship.
We often take for granted that we should be able to go outside each day, go to work, eat lunch at a restaurant, work out at the gym, or go on vacation. These are activities that people who are shut-in are not able to experience on any day. A visit with them will brighten their day, and we'll be able to share our observations with them.
