Think of that someone or something that makes your day a little brighter, puts a smile on your face, adds a spring to your step and helps you go about your day with a song in your heart. It could be like Jaiden at the right and his four-legged buddy. That's Richard “Mickey” Hanover's Pride and Joy. He sent us a photo and we ran it in the newspaper to show everyone who gets a copy.

So take a picture of your Pride and Joy and send it to us. Or go through what you've already shot and send that one to us. We'll run what you send in the newspaper, too.

If you want an easy way to send it to us, make sure the picture is a .jpg and e-mail to us. Make sure you send us information with the picture of not only about what is in the picture but why this is your Pride and Joy. To get into a specific paper, send it to:

For the Charlotte Sun, send to charpride@sun-herald.com
For the North Port Sun, send to npprideandjoy@sun-herald.com
For the Englewood Sun, send to prideandjoy@sun-herald.com
For the DeSoto Sun, send to desotopride@sun-herald.com

Then, keep an eye on the Pride and Joy box in the Our Town section for your special submission.
