Kindness, connection, and courage take center stage today. From a stranger’s generosity in a Wichita taco shop to two grandmothers who proved adventure has no age limit, today’s stories remind us that humanity still overflows with heart. Add in the science of laughter, a friendship how-to for grown-ups, and living bacteria that might one day heal us, and you’ve got proof that goodness, in all its forms, is very much alive.
