Today we celebrate Eeyore!
He reminds us that it is okay to feel sad sometimes. Even on his gloomiest days ... Eeyore’s friends never leave him out. They show up, include him and love him exactly as he is!
That’s such an important reminder for all of us; Mental Health is manageable when you are surrounded by love, support and understanding. You don’t have to be cheerful all the time to belong ... You just have to be you.
Let's all take a page from the Hundred Acre Wood ... where empathy leads, feelings are welcomed and no friend is ever left behind.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Eeyore!
