What version of iPhoto?

Are you logged into iCloud (system preferences)

See http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html for requirements and set up instructions

As long as your system and iPhoto meets the minimum requirements for the basic Photo Stream try the following:

Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane

and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.

Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.
