• Man’s Wallet Returned After 63 Years – Have you ever lost something by just leaving it behind? Or maybe you have lost a pair of sunglasses or a phone or even your wallet, but have no idea where it went? Bill Fulton lost his wallet eons ago, and thought he’d never see it again. But 63 years after he lost it, a helpful Samaritan brought it back after finding it in the rubble left from a bleacher removal at his old high school. This is the kind of story that helps us remember that there are plenty of good people out there, and also, that sometimes when you lose something, it isn’t gone forever. You can read the full story over at MSNBC.

Yes, There are Real Superheroes – Don’t look up in the sky, but instead to the streets around you and you might just encounter some real life superheroes. These folks take being Good Samaritans to a whole new level, as they often dress in costumes and hit the streets in search of crime to thwart and prevent. With names like “Mr. Ravenblade” and “Civitron,” these heroes take matters into their own hands by observing and reporting crimes, as well as helping others remain safe as they go about their lives. Sure, they might not have mutant powers like the X-Men or super gadgets like Batman, but these civilians take a cue from the pages of comics and make themselves an important part of society.

She battled shingles as well as E. coli to go on and attend school without missing a beat. Though her illnesses were life threatening at times, Georgia remained bright and positive throughout her “adventure” – which can teach the rest of us a thing or two about not sweating the small stuff that makes us grumpy.
