So, today is the first Spread Love Sunday post. I’ve been collecting these stories for two weeks, so there will probably be more stories this week than in future weeks.
Quick note: I want to thank my hubbins, John, for helping me name the segment and for helping me make the logo.
For a lot of people, going out to eat alone is an uncomfortable and possibly lonely experience. Three men in Alabama were not going to let an elderly woman eat alone.
When you hear the word “Superhero,” what pops into your mind? For me, it’s usually Thor and the rest of the Avengers. However, it looks like a trio of Girl Scout Cadettes from Aurora, Colorado, thought of patients at the Children’s Hospital in Colorado. They filled three wagons with capes for the children in the hospital that they designed and helped sew. Not all heroes wear capes. Some make them.
LEGOs have been around for about 86 years. And—here’s a fun fact—they are the world’s largest tire manufacturer. LEGO has a new project they’re working on. LEGO Braille Bricks. It’s a way to help blind and visually impaired children learn Braille.
Kittens are cute, fluffy, and sometimes mischievous. Getting into things they shouldn’t. Like a truck. A five week old kitty was found inside the engine compartment of a construction worker’s truck in Torrington, Connecticut. Thankfully, this story has a happy ending!
The NFL draft is a huge deal to many football fans. It takes over sports media for at least a week leading up to the actual event, and it extends at least a week after. The Baltimore Ravens made news not because of their draft picks, but because of who they chose to announce a pick. A 13-year-old three-time cancer survivor.
The next story, I debated on whether or not to share it. Even now as I write this draft, I’m still not sure if this will make the final cut. An 8-year-old saved his older sister from being kidnapped by pulling her out of a moving car.
Prom season is here. And in some places it has already come and gone. I have two stories about very special prom dresses.
The first is out of Illinois, where a teen wanted to honor fallen Marines with her formal attire.
I’m not sure where the second story occurred, but it’s another sweet one. A 14-year-old designed and created her older sister’s prom gown.
Exams. Finals. For many college students those words cause stress, panic, and anxiety. Students at Quinnipiac in North Haven, Connecticut, have come up with a unique way of de-stressing. Mini horses!
There is no escaping talk about “Game of Thrones,” even on a blog about putting good into the world. Don’t worry if you’re not caught up, I’m not posting spoilers. And if you have no interest in the show, you may still enjoy this story. An 88-year-old woman in hospice in Providence, Rhode Island, received messages from several actors of the hot HBO series. The woman, Claire Walton, wanted watch the third episode of GoT’s final season that aired last Sunday. Walton died the following afternoon.
In Boston, it seems like even squirrels have places to be on Mondays. At least one squirrel does, who boarded a Red Line trolley.
I never knew there were penmanship awards. (Probably because I would have never been able to win.) But it looks like there are awards given for penmanship, and a third grader in Maryland, who was born without hands, won the award.
There’s the saying that “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” I can’t speak to the accuracy of that claim, but it appears that you can teach a young dog sign language. At least that’s what a deaf man in Maine has done with his hearing impaired puppy.
