Sunshine comes in many forms.

Doesn't it seem lately that there is so much horrific news in the world, coming at you from all sides? The incredible suffering in the aftermath of Katrina, the problems in the Sudan, the scourge of aids throughout the world, terrorist threats...lousy agressive drivers on the highways of New York...on and on...

But sometimes a ray of sunshine blasts into your world that reminds you of all that is good, fun, honest and beautiful. You have to look no further than your email sometimes when, for example, your niece sends a picture of her daughter's first day in kindergarten...proudly showing a gap tooth smile...happy as a clam to be there. Gives you hope, doesn't it?
