Today is National Family Recreation Day

#NationalFamilyRecreationDay

#FamilyRecreationDay

Today is all about play, fun, and laughter with those you love. Do you have avenues of recreation at home to enjoy on a daily basis? You may want to put up a small wading pool, basketball hoop, a badminton net or a ping pong table. Families that play together stay together.

Every day we look for the best in Positive News so that you might have a great start on your day. Thank you for taking the time to read, share and support our mission.

€œThere is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing.€ Brian Tracy
