Who's On First?

In honor of the 2011 Major League Baseball season starting at the end of this month, here is a great video that has me laughing every time! Enjoy!

Happy day!

Happy Monday!

This is a great story about a homeless man who found an envelope with over $1,000 in it and he turned it in to the police station! That takes some extreme integrity, what a wonderful example! It definitely makes me step back and ask myself what I would have done in this situation. I hope you find this article as refreshing as I did! Enjoy!

Happy Day!

A smile in a box!

What a special girl! She saw a need and came up with a way to meet that need, all on her own! Very inspiring. Great job Emily!

Happy Weekend!!

103 years of sunshine!

I just love this little lady! I dare you to not smile while you watch this! Her secret to a long life is JOY! How beautiful is that?! She is the epitome of bringing sunshine into people's lives!

Happy Day!

Happy Birthday Dr. Suess!

Dr. Suess was born on March 2, 1904, which would make him 107 today! Happy Birthday to a man whose stories and illustrations have brought smiles and laughs to thousands of children AND adults over the years! His classic and fun stories will continue to be loved for many many years to come! Thank you Dr. Suess for bringing us perpetual sunshine! So, take a few minutes to celebrate and read a Dr. Suess book or two! I promise it will make you smile! (or just visit this mildly annoying website about all things Dr. Suess! http://www.seussville.com/#/home)

What is your favorite Dr. Suess book? It is really hard for me to choose, but it is between Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, and Oh the Places You'll go.

Happy day!

Back to my roots

Don't we all need a little sunshine?

I have decided to get back to the real reason I ever started this blog; to remind myself that even when times are hard, we can still find reasons to smile and laugh-to bring people sunshine.

Ahem.

Hello, my name is Alison and I am here to bring you (yes, YOU!) your daily spot of sunshine :)


If you haven't already seen this video, here is something that will no doubt bring a smile to your face! Enjoy! :)

Reading old posts can be like chicken soup for the soul

So I get really annoyed when I visit a friend's blog and they haven't updated in like a week and then I look at my last post- yep, two months ago. I am basically a hypocrite. So here it goes....

Last night I read some old journals and while some of it was pretty painful to read (seriously, why was I SO dumb?) it is also quite amazing to see how much I have grown. I also read some more recent journal entries from when Steven and I were dating and it was just so fun to read about the things we did and then to look at us now and see how much we have grown together. Also reading about little things that he did that at the time didn't make sense to me but now that I know him better they make perfect sense! And to think that I have only known him for a little over a year, I can only imagine how much better I will know him in 30 years! And then 50! So exciting!

Then I just went back and read some old blog posts, some real gems. I found this from a year ago! That's right, OF (Original Fan)! I also found this, this, and this. I forgot how much I love taking nature pictures!

So what I am saying is, go back and read some old journals/ blog posts, it will really blow your mind in a good way :)

Happy March! Spring please come soon, thanks.
