Occurring on the 143rd day of the year, May 23 marks a call to live up to Fred Rogers’ ideal. “Imagine what our real neighborhoods would be like if each of us offered, as a matter of course, just one kind word to another person,” he once mused. That word could take many forms, from a friendly hello to a neighborhood cleanup to a home-cooked meal for a neighbor who’s hungry. As Rogers liked to remind us, there are many ways to say I love you.

RT @greggbehr: Making May 23 (#143Day #143DayInPA) a holiday would do more than foster nice feelings, it would call us to be the neighbors and the nation we long to be. It doesn't have to be make-believe. @Time
