Positive News Stories To Start Your Day! 5/19/19

May Ray Day is for getting outside, soaking up the sun’s rays, and celebrating the warmer weather. May is the last full month of spring, meaning that it is starting to warm up pretty nicely, but it’s not yet so scorching hot that you can’t bear to be outside. Being in the sun can be both good and bad for your health. In addition to being a day to be outside, the day is for celebrating anyone named Ray. The idea for the day was thought up by Richard Ankli, in honor of his brother Ray, who was born on May 19. Ankli’s idea was turned into a day by the Broadway Fun Spot in St. Joseph, Michigan, in 1977.
