#Reasons2BCheerful Well here we are on Friday and a quick apology for missing yesterday.
The ambition with this project is that there should be a blog each weekday but this is something I’m doing in my spare time; Sometimes life intrudes and I need to take a little care of myself.

While I was away I couldn’t help be cheered by the fact that amazing things and wonderful acts of kindness continue to happen. A smile and a piece of good news can make an amazing difference to someone, here are some stories and discoveries that I hope will bring some joy into your lives 🙂
