We all need to hear some positivity, so here are your Feel Good Friday stories for the week…
1. Two decades ago, a kid in Pennsylvania found a guy’s diary from the 1930s, and his mom hung onto it all this time hoping to track down the family. Now she finally has, and they’re getting it back. It includes all sorts of stuff, like that he bought a car in 1938 for $350 . . . and gas only cost 15 cents a gallon back then.
2. “The Seattle Times” just did a big profile on a homeless guy named Randy Miller, who walks around offering free haircuts to other people who are homeless or low-income. He’s been doing it for over two years now.
3. A 12-year-old kid who was born with spina bifida just became the youngest person in the U.K. to land a backflip in a wheelchair. The video is great because of how PUMPED he is after he does it.
4. There’s a video making the rounds of a guy hopping out of his car in D.C. last Thursday to give his umbrella to a woman pushing a baby stroller. The driver behind him at a red light got it on their dash-cam.
5. A bunch of second-graders in Virginia recently helped get dogs adopted by drawing pictures of them to hang up outside their kennels. They also wrote things like, “Hi, my name is Cody . . . please be my owner!”
6. A guy in Calgary named Jordan Soloman spent two years trying to track down his biological father . . . then found out it was a guy he used to work with. Jordan used to be a mall security guard, and his dad Roger managed one of the stores. Now they’re back in touch, and Roger recently met his grandson for the first time.
7. A little kid near Minneapolis got lost last week, but was able to call 911 . . . after stumbling upon a payphone that actually still worked. A guy named Brian Davis lives in Andover, Minnesota. And just for fun, he decided to install his own working payphone on his front lawn last year. That’s the phone the kid found. Brian says he was amazed a child could even figure out how to use it.
8. A guy in Indiana just got his wallet back eight months after he lost it at a minor league baseball game. An usher found it before the first game of the season wedged in one of the seats.
9. A 57-year-old in Scotland named Paul Ellis was partially paralyzed after a fall 30 years ago, and had to have the lower part of both legs amputated in 2008. But he’s not letting it hold him back, and just climbed the U.K.’s tallest MOUNTAIN on his hands and knees. He did it to raise money for a charity that helps kids who’ve lost limbs.
