A Sweater is Sweeter

… especially today, March 20.

Today is “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” Day, honoring Fred Rogers (“Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood”), on what would have been his 81st birthday.

Family Communications in Pittsburgh, which was created by Mr. Rogers, wants his birthday to become an annual community service tradition, and to encourage neighborly acts of kindness.

They’d like you to wear a sweater today. It’s chilly outside, so do it.

I wore my sweater in honor of Mr. Rogers. I wanted to be a "good neighbor."

I loved, loved Mr. Rogers. I miss him and the Trolley.

I wore my sweater in his honor. He was a good man. Even taught me to be "calmer" as a Mom. :)
