#WorldSuicidePreventionDay

Today is Word Suicide Prevention Day, and though it sad that we have a day focusing on this plight, it's also a good reminder to check in on everyone. Sometimes a small smile, or a quick text letting someone know you are thinking of them can change a person's day.

Sadness can take on many forms, and sometimes it can last for a few hours, a few days, months or even years. And one person's sadness can be different than another person's. It can look like anger, or indifference.

It's important to know what makes you happy and to spend time doing what makes you happy. It's also important to be mindful of your surroundings.

On this day, I invite everyone to take a moment and just smile at someone, check in, even if it's just a simple 'hello.'

Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S.
