Dose of Sunshine Monday: Happiness is…
“Happiness is not so much in having as in sharing.” I agree with that statement. Do you? I had such a great time handing out my Halloween Treat Sacks to my neighbor kids and my nephews over the weekend. In no time flat, they had those things torn apart and the candy devoured! But it […]

Dose of Sunshine Monday — It goes on
Today I combined one of my favorite quotes with one of my favorite pictures to share with you. These are some amazing Aspen trees in Northern Arizona.

Hello! You may not have noticed, but this “Dose of Sunshine” is usually posted on Monday, and here it is Tuesday! We had a busy weekend. And my husband was in a bicycle accident during a race in Flagstaff this weekend. It was quite the accident: the handlebars on his bike broke right off! This […]
Dose of Sunshine Monday — 6 Steps to Mending a Broken Heart
A few weeks ago I had a friend tell me that her heart was broken. I’ve been wanting to write a bit about broken hearts for quite a while now. Do you remember that song with the words: “how can you mend a broken heart?” I don’t believe they even tell us how to mend […]
