Now that we’re all stuck at home wondering how we’re going to pay our bills, one of the best things we can do is take a moment to focus on the little things that warm our hearts and lift our spirits. Here’s the Moments That Restored Our Faith in Humanity This Week.

Be sure to check out the other Moments That Also Restored Our Faith In Humanity.

10 Moments That Restored Our Faith In Humanity

1. When this whale made a social distancing fail.

Whale makes social distancing fail in Monterey Bay

San Jose firefighter Eric Mailander thought of a unique way to practice #COVID19 #SocialDistancing on his day off by seeking solitude in the sea.He navigated his boat to the outer waters of the Monterey Bay. But when he launched a drone to take a look around, he could see that he was not alone: A gray whale was swimming toward his boat.This whale was so friendly that Mailander was able to reach out and touch it as the whale playfully “hung out” for more than a half hour, he said.Perhaps the whale sensed that the firefighter had endured a long week. As the coronavirus pandemic continues to grow, 13 of Mailander’s fellow San Jose firefighters tested positive for COVID-19, according to the city’s latest press release.“Just an epic day that cleansed the soul!” he wrote.

3. When Neil Diamond told us to wash our hands.

“Hands…washing hands!” Thanks for the reminder, friend.

4. When Return the Favor Distilling hope with hand sanitizer

Distilling Hope With Hand Sanitizer

Mike Rowe and his producers attempt to return a favor remotely amidst the Coronavirus pandemic. With only a few hiccups along the way, the team rewards a NJ distillery owner who pivoted his bourbon production to create hand sanitizer for his community.

Posted by Returning The Favor on Tuesday, March 24, 2020

Across America, distillers are retrofitting their equipment to make hand distiller for healthcare workers. I’m so glad Mike Rowe heard about it.

5. When these bakers in New York starting making Anthony Fauci donuts.

Rochester Bakery Producing 'Dr. Anthony Fauci' Doughnuts ...

Some bakers are selling 100 Fauci donuts an hour. Not all heroes wear capes.

6. When this Lewisville distillery began making hand sanitizer.

Bendt Distilling Co. in Lewisville has begun production of hand sanitizer because of the shortage. “We make whiskey in our usual lives and right now we’re making hand cleaner.” The bottles are available to the public from 12 p.m to 3 p.m, Monday through Friday.

7. This Don’t Mess With Texas K-12 Art Contest

Grace Swensen – 2019 Don’t Mess with Texas Winner

I want to let you know about the Don’t Mess with Texas® K-12 Art Contest.

Texas students enrolled in kindergarten through twelfth grade are invited to participate in the Texas Department of Transportation (“TxDOT”) and Keep Texas Beautiful (“KTB”).

Winners will have their artwork added to the 2021 Don’t mess with Texas Calendar. Each entry will promote the Don’t mess with Texas and/or Keep Texas Beautiful litter prevention initiatives in order to encourage the protection of our Texas roadways and environment. The purpose of the Contest is to inspire our future leaders to refrain from littering, advocate for litter prevention, and keep Texas beautiful.

8. This 104 year old veteran who is celebrating both his birthday AND surviving COVID-19
