It's sunny outside where I live and that got me thinking of a song called "Hello Sunshine" that was sung by Aretha Franklin. It makes me feel good when I hear it so I'm sharing it here in the hope it has the same effect on others. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.
I set out in life like many idealistic people, with the goal of helping people to live happier and more fulfilling lives. To that end, I've created this blog to spread a bit of cheer each day.

Just a little song and dance for today

Funny letters from Napoleon
Napoleon Bonaparte was born today in 1769 and this got me thinking about a video clip I saw of an actor reading letters Napoleon wrote to his wife Josephine. The letters, while probably originally not intended to be funny, were humorous in the video recording because an actress gave visual emotional reactions to some of the letters’ contents. Anyway, I thought the video was funny so I’m sharing it here. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.
