Ready to spring forward? Ronnie here—and congrats, you made it to Friday. This Sunday we lose an hour but gain actual evening sunlight. A very fair trade if you ask me. No more 4:59pm sunsets, so go clock that extra glow and do something fun with it! With moods lifting and daylight lingering, let's dive into the good stuff, shall we?

🐤 A seagull got knocked out during a soccer match. The team captain sprinted over and started CPR—two minutes later, something unbelievable happened.

🚗 These high schoolers spent months restoring a car … for someone they've never even met.

🛩️ A 5-year-old thought the military flyover was just a cool birthday surprise, until she learned her Marine dad was actually on one of the planes.

Feeling that extra sparkle? Send this to a friend who deserves some extra sunshine.

Next Friday is National Good Samaritan Day. Did a stranger ever show up for you in a small but meaningful way? I'm collecting stories—send yours to humankind@gannett.com and I'll feature a few of these unsung heroes in next week's newsletter!

More sunshine (the metaphorical kind) just below.
