Welcome to Sunny Sunday 05/22/16!
It’s another great week full of happy {sunny} stories to share with all of you! The weather this weekend was lovely despite a little rain in between bursts of sunshine and a beautiful breeze here in the Atlanta area. I hope you all had a terrific weekend and are resting up for another work week. My birthday is Wednesday so I will be taking the day off (more good news), and visiting a local publisher to talk to them about a book I’ve been getting ready for publication! *wish me luck*

When I first saw this story my initial reaction was “Who on earth abandons a puppy?” But as the friend of Jennifer who runs Bosley’s Place in Atlanta I know it happens all too often! Thankfully there was somewhere there to rescue Daisy and she will now be a fixture at the ballpark.

Army Vet Paddleboarding 3,500 Miles to Support Wounded Warriors
There are so many veterans trying to make it day-by-day due to the side effects of PTSD. One Army veteran is doing something to make a difference!
In 1998, he helped save her after a devastating fire. In 2016, he watched her graduate college.
I love stories where years later a police officer, firefighter or EMT are reconnected with a person they saved or do something like attend their college graduation. This took place in my home state of Connecticut so it’s particularly close to my heart!
I love seeing kids do great things, and making a difference! It is inspirational and makes me think I need to do more to help others!
