All it took was cardboard, paper, markers, positive words, and brave souls to stand out in the -4 degree weather yesterday…but oh, the hearts that were surely warmed from this act of kindness that spread throughout downtown Plymouth, WI.

This effort to spread a positive message throughout the community of Plymouth called, “Sunshine on the Street” was thought up by Dr. Cindy Munson and Chiro-Health Chiropractic Care Center, where I visit bi-monthly for an adjustment to keep this over 50-year old body finely tuned.

I had SO MUCH FUN taking part in “Sunshine on the Street” (that’s me in below photo with “you matter” sign!).

All area businesses were invited to participate and stand outside their building from 12:30-1:00 pm and share a positive message, smile, and wave to all those driving by.

As I saw some of the photos being shared yesterday and today on Facebook from the different businesses that took part, I got emotional. It was such a simple thing to do, but I have no doubt made a big impact. And as with anything you do voluntarily, it seems you gain more from it than you could have ever expected.

While my lips were frozen from the biting wind, my heart was bursting with warmth for being a part of such a positive experience. The time flew by so fast and I really didn’t want it to end!

So go out and spread some sunshine on your street today and keep the positive movement going!
