    I'm not sure if you intended this comment to he helpful but as a recovering alcoholic myself, I can tell you it isn't. It completely invalidates this person's joy at being sober for five years by saying "Yeah but you've still got another 5 years to go until you get to 10." Most recovering alcoholics can't think that far ahead in terms of sobriety. Many of us make a daily choice to stay sober that day. Also what is so special about 10 years? There's no finish line or certificate of completeness after a decade. It's a lifelong journey. Maybe you didn't mean it that way, but to be this came across as saying 5 years of sobriety isn't an achievement.

It commemorates the 1847 donation of $170 (about $4,700 in 2019 dollars) by the Native American Choctaw People to Irish famine relief during the Great Hunger, despite the Choctaw themselves living in hardship and poverty and having recently endured the Trail of Tears.

    50 Wholesome Facts That Might Bring Some Sunshine To Your Day Whenever you see something go wrong in the world -- either a natural disaster, an accident, or a man-made crisis -- it's very easy to focus on the negatives. The tremendous loss of life. The monsters who thought an act of terrorism would help their cause. The mismanagement that made things worse. The people looting and profiteering from other people's misery. It's easy to get disparaged and see only the worst of humanity. But there are always, *always* people going out of their way to help their fellow man. The people who ran into the towers on 9/11 to ensure that as many people as possible got out. The people who hid Jews from the Nazis during the Holocaust. The Choctaw Nation Americans who sent a donation to Ireland in the wake of the potato famine in order to help in any way they could. People queuing up to donate blood in the wake of a mass shooting or other natural disaster. People who try their absolute level best to change the systems that led to these problems in the first place, throwing everything they can into protests and political action to try and make the world a better place. These actions are almost always done not for glory or rfor personal profit, but because it's the right thing to do. And it happens everywhere, every time, in every country around the globe.

    "mass shooting or other natural disaster" - this may not be intended, but words do form perception. We shouldn't judge, but not let it slide unacknowledged - sorry for being a bit of a PITA here, but any violence involving guns is not a natural disaster, but manmade and manaccepted.

    50 Wholesome Facts That Might Bring Some Sunshine To Your Day First one that comes to mind is something along the lines of this During the Second World War an American B-17 (I think it was the Flying Fortress) was trying to make her way back home heavily damaged. A German 109 (fighter) saw it and decided to investigate. The pilot noticed the guns weren’t manned and the insane amount of damage the plane had (a good chuck of fuselage was missing along the side). Flew up beside the bomber and caught eye-contact with the American pilot. He waved. The German pilot then escorted the bomber back to American territory where the German pilot waved off. These two pilots met each other after the war and became friends

    50 Wholesome Facts That Might Bring Some Sunshine To Your Day I've got a pair of cardinals that come to the feeder every day. I noticed that sometimes the male feeds the female. The female quickly shakes her tail feathers and the male responds by picking up a seed in his beak and feeding it to the female. I learned that this is part of their mating behavior. It allows the male to "practice" feeding because he'll have to fill in for the female when she occasionally leaves the nest with the hatchlings in it. Plus it's just adorable.

    50 Wholesome Facts That Might Bring Some Sunshine To Your Day This probably isn't the MOST wholesome but it's the first I thought of. In this era of evil corporate overlords let's remember Saran Wrap. Have you noticed that Saran Wrap kinda sucks these days? It seems like it barely sticks like it used to and doesn't preserve food as long. You might think this was due to cost cutting measures to line investor and executive pockets, that's the usual reason products go to c**p. The actual reason is that the key chemical used in its manufacture was determined to be bad environmentally. They were unable to find a replacement that provided the same performance. There were no regulations requiring them to change the formula and changing it would surely hurt their market share. They did it anyway without any fanfare and it was a big hit to their bottom line, but they stuck to it because it was the right thing to do.

    Penguins can form homosexual relationships, and will even adopt orphaned penguin chicks. Happened at the Central Park Zoo, where some zookeepers gave them an abandoned egg and they ended up raising the baby to maturity. That new penguin ended up being lesbian, and paired up with another female penguin. Zoos in Germany, the UK, and even China have copied this with other gay penguin couples and abandoned eggs.

    50 Wholesome Facts That Might Bring Some Sunshine To Your Day This will probably be buried, I don't think you guys would think it's super wholesome but to me it is. When Ringo left the Beatles during the White Album sessions, the Beatles wrote him a letter, telling him to come back and even calling him the best drummer in the world. And, when he came back, George Harrison decorated his drum set in flowers. I think its sweet because even though tensions were high in the studio, you can see that they cared about each other.

    And despite jokes over the decades, he was/is a superb drummer, creating a signature sound that became known as 'backbeat', much mimicked by later pop and rock artists. Remember Oasis's "Wonderwall"? Yeah, that's who/what they are talking about.

    You know how rain smells good? Rain doesn’t actually smell like anything, but water will amplify scents. The earth smells really good all the time, but we just don’t notice until it gets boosted by the rain.

    That smell has a name. Petrichor (/ ˈ p ɛ t r ɪ ˌ k ɔːr /) is the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil. The word is constructed from Ancient Greek πέτρα ( pétra ) 'rock', or πέτρος ( pétros ) 'stone', and ἰχώρ ( ikhṓr ), the ethereal fluid that is the blood of the gods in Greek mythology.

    Cats appear to have the same emotional connection to humans as dogs. And almost all animals seem to enjoy being pet. A lot of research has been done on dogs, not so much on other animals, we just don't know yet. Why would you say you're 'pretty sure' about something if you actually don't know?

    Germany has these, too. Selfdeclared liberals, conservatives and other selfdeclared rational politicians love to oppose them and make sure to call those who support them of having "Bambi Syndrome", where caring about wildlife is seen as imature useless overemotional bollocks, not as useful or even needed. The opposite is true, of course, just the short term cost is higher when taking care and not being as selfish as possibly possible.
