Sunshine in birthdays

Birthdays are a time where you can't help but smile, family comes over. For one day in the year you get to be the special person in the room, one day which brings out everyones feelings towards you and a whole bunch of presents too.

It's the aftermath of my birthday...there's wrapping paper left on the floor, half a cake still in the fridge and a card full of lovely birthday messages...

Birthdays bring joy and happiness by bringing people together where you build memories that last forever.

Sunshine in girls reunited

Last night out of the blue my bestfriend messaged me and we decided to have a reunion and meet up for a coffee or a bite to eat. When work and life manages to drag you down and keep good friends apart having a reunion can really bring sunshine to your life...


During work I kept looking at my watch wanting the time to go faster for my work day to end so I go see my friends.

Once the clock hit 9 I walked out the door and even though it was raining my spirits couldn't be dampened. I saw my girly mates from a mile away and kept smiling. We stood outside my workplaces door trying to work out if the coffee shops were still open and if we would rather eat or have a hot chocolate instead. My tummy rumbled and I knew where we were going, the plan was to to go hot choclate and instead we hada spicy doner...It was amazing I enjoyed the food but I must admit I loved the company more. We talked about where I lives have taken us in the last few months we've spent apart.

There was stories of my engagement preparations, a proposal that one friend decided to reject (the guy happened to be shorter than him so it wasn't the best match) there was then the talk of work life and how boring and repetitive it can be.

Being able to seperate even just an hour together with my friends made my day and all the months that we spent apart seemed to disappear. Close friends should always be cherished because they bring sunshine and warmth to our lives.

Sunshine in a smile

When you have been in work for 7 hours its really hard to smile sometimes...your body is tired, your head is buzzing and your often put under pressure to finish before the shop closes. It can be really draining and hard to find something to smile about...

I'm rather lucky to work in a store which really just feels like a bunch of friends working togetherto keep the store up and running. I have my special someone working with me, my almost mother in law and the girls that are well-my girls.

This always makes me smile knowing that whenever I look up theres the chance of seeing my special someone stick out his tongue or having a cheeky smile from one of the girls as they steal my ladder.

Today I had a customer comment on my smile and told me "whenever I come in I see you always smiling and looking cheerful"

I can help myself...when I'm at work surrounded by friends you'll see me smiling as I fill up shelves and make the aisle look tidy and the closest thing to perfect I can get it.

Always smile, it brightens your day and puts a smile on someone else's day. Spread the sunshine and joy.

Sunshine in chocolate

There's just something about chocolate that makes everything in your life just fade away...no headache, heartache or fuss. Life for those few seconds just feels good.

Sunshine can be found in those few seconds where you're life seems simpler and easy. Where you sit there with a smile on your face and you're filled wi mothing but happy thoughts and joy-for me thats chocolate.

Everyone has something in there life which brings a litte moment of sunshine and joy...never let it go, always try and hold on to that feeling and try and make it last as long as you can savour the moments that bring light to your life and makes you happy.

Sunshine in the politeness

Politeness... a simple 'please' a 'thank you' and possibly an 'excuse me'. All very simple words but they seem to be disappearing these days...Just hearing them every once in a while can go a really long way.


I've got to admit I'm still pretty new to the whole working full time and being at work for 8 hours. It just seems to be tiring me out. This week I've had a Monday to Friday week and it's soo hard that when I'm on the ti ls for and hour or been rummaging through a fridge full of potatoes, when I hear a simple, 'could you be so kind as to show me where I could find the lemonade please'

When I heard that I must say I was pretty speechless, and it sounds really sad but it did brighten up my day and made me realise that a 'please' a 'thank you' a 'your welcome' can really make your day and spread a little sunshine.

So please make that little bit of an effort to be polite and spread some sunshine.

Sunshine from abroad

Today I woke up early to tidy up my room and get it all nice and lovely....because there's some news which has put a massive smile on my face and made my whole month...

Today my grandparents are coming from abroad to stay with me for 3 weeks

I'm so happy and full of joy that they're coming because it's been a year since we last saw each other....sometimes the news that you'll get the chance to see someone that you've missed and truly love can make your day and bring a little ray of sunshine to your life.

Sunshine at work

This has turned out to be one of those days, which are rather pivotal and a sudden change to the way life from now on will be....


Today I had a job interview and to my utter joy I got the job.


I've previously worked at this supermarket and I know most of the people there so it's more me returning to the workplace...but this time it is a bit different.


The thing is that on the last day of work 2 years ago my now boyfriend asked me out...so I've always been in and out of the store to chit chat with him and everyone at work.


This time I'm going to be working with may boyfriend in the store....to add to that I will be wotking full time for the first time.


Well my little ray of sunshine from this was that as I walked into the store spreading the news, people greeted me with smiles and joy on their faces when they heard the news.


Sometimes the joy of others who are happy to hear the good news can brighten your day.

Sunshine talking with old friends

Rays of sunshine can be found all the time it doesn't always have to be something big or epic...they don't always have to be things that are planned sometimes yhey can simply be sontaneous and of the blue...


Sunshne can be simply catching up with a friend...Life is so fast paced that you ofte lose touch with all of yoir friends...


You can't always find the time to be with your friends and sometimes the distance between where you live can really be a obstacle between you.


Today out of the blue I found out my friend who I havn't seen in months was having a day off and we decided to meet.


The day was great...we went to a mexican restarount called Chillango (a mexican version of Subway) where we scoffed down a burrito, talked for hours, watched others come and go as we sat and enjoyed our refillable Coca Cola.


Days like these are unforgettable and priceless and bring you joy and a smile on your face.

Sunshine every step of the way

Sunshine may have always been there all the time but it takes you a while to notice it...you need to step back and realise that it's been there every step of the way.... 

I have a best friend who I've had since nursery (kindergarten)they've been with me every step of the way, been to every birthday, every day at school and in all my special memories...

Sitting at her aunties wedding surrounded by all her family...all these familiar faces I've gotten to know over the years made me realise that they have become like family to me too.

That moment when you realise your family has grown and that you fit into their lives as much as they fit into yours, is special and puts a smile on your face and fills you with an immense amount of joy

Sometimes you take those around you for granted and don't realise the family that you have around you every step of the way.

Sunshine on the telly

Firstly I would like to say that one thing that puts a smile on my face is someone who has enjoyed my blog...to wake up and discover I have a follower...Thank you

Okay back to regular blogging-Today I found a ray of sunshine while watching telly. Sometimes it makes you smile, it can be as simple as a funny advert or a cute video clip...

Today I saw the new McDonalds advert with the Happy meal box....watching it I could just imagine how incredible it must have been to find a giant happy meal, as you watch the advert you can see the pure joy on the childrens' faces.

Hopefully this ad will put a smile on yours too
