“To make people’s day good because it’s in the morning and then if you feel good in the morning, you’ll probably feel good for the rest of the day.”
People passing by telling the Richardsons they love every minute of Michael’s now regular routine.
It started out with him doing a few dance moves at the bus stop and he noticed the joy it brought others.
Then using his moms art supplies to make these signs of sincerity to wish others well.
A stranger, passing by posted on social media about how his sign was exactly what she needed that day.

And as we are right around the corner from Halloween, I’m choosing to go festive for our last story.
In the town of Sleepy Hollow, New York more than 7000 Jack O’ Lanterns light up the night and recreate Washington Irving’s legendary Headless Horseman.
And yes, the town is where the story behind the legend of Sleepy Hollow was created.
“This is like a Halloween Capitol for the Country Right here We try to make it really immersive so it’s things beside you, above you, on the ground This is something that’s
really unique to this area. It’s the Heritage of Halloween.”
The great Jack O’Lantern Blaze runs through mid November.
