Today I was in Melbourne CBD and noticed a woman of a certain age dressed beautifully. Her hair was done, she had a gorgeous outfit on and strappy sandals. She looked stunning. I walked up behind her as she was about to cross at the lights and said to her, "Can I just tell you something? You look absolutely stunning." She turned and looked at me and said, "You have made my...

I was having a bout of not being able to stop coughing in a restaurant. It happens a lot randomly because I have a chronically dry mouth and a dry throat. I was being stared at but no one would do anything. A lady who was a complete stranger got up came up to me and asked if she could help. I said yes with a nod because I was desperate. Well, she started gently...

When I was a child, I watched my uncle spiral into crazy drug addiction. To see the affect that had on my family (parents/grandparents) was horrible. A good man, taken by addiction, with no return. I have no idea where he is now, or what he is doing, but this was the catalyst for me to never touch drugs. And I still never have. But, 12 months ago, it was like I had an epiphany. I was a...

It was raining in Southern California last week. A bit slippery out , the rain was subsiding while I was driving my 3 kiddos to check out the beach. We saw an African American man who had slipped and fallen with his walker on the ramp to the sidewalk. Right away I saw a dominos delivery lady who was Hispanic pull over to the side of the road and immediately come to the aid of this...

One Summer day when I was a little boy my Mom, Dad and brothers were away and my Nana was busy watering her flowers around our house. That left me alone inside with my Mom’s old record player. It had three speeds on it 33 1/3, 45, and 78 revolutions per minute. Each one was designed to play a different type of record. But my childhood curiosity was making me want to see what would happen if I played some...

Very recently someone I was travelling internationally with, left their iPad in the back seat pouch on the plane. One of the cleaning staff for the airline phoned to advise that it was found and would be left at Lost Property. Unfortunately our return flight was well outside the usual Lost Property hours. That absolutely amazing person went above and beyond to bring it to us (1.5 hours drive from...

About a month ago I injured my knee seriously enough that my mobility has been seriously impeded. My husband left this morning for a (non-negotiable) week long work trip, and knowing that I was struggling a bit he picked a lot of "easy" groceries for our kids and me while he's gone. Y'all, I just opened the fridge to discover that he'd quietly also stocked it up with...

Thank you to the four people who helped me push the car I was driving out of the intersection it decided to lose all gears in this morning. Your patience and kindness was invaluable. Another friend who was driving by a little later, saw me on side of road and stopped to check I was ok, which was lovely. I was only driving the car as someone had loaned it to me when I had loaned...

Today something really sweet happened at the post office. My little girl was walking around touching and cuddling every teddy there. She spoke to a man getting served beside us. We picked out a book to buy when she turned around to admire a small Dumbo the elephant teddy. She gave it a cuddle and a kiss. I told her we couldn't get it we already just brought a book (possum...

It was a cold, winter’s morning but I didn’t mind. You see, after several days of gray, milky skies that brought us snow, followed by rain, followed by more snow I could see the sky was clear. As I did my morning exercises in my house I noticed the stars in the predawn sky. Then as the darkness fled I could see through my dirty windows that the sky was a brilliant blue. I saw too the glorious,...

At the beach this afternoon and saw two kids chasing seagulls screaming. "Sorry!" his mum said to us. We laughed it off. I watched the children playing and they were so full of joy. I went in for a swim and when I came back ten minutes later the surf rescue people were helping their dad. I don’t know what happened in those ten minutes but he was lying on his...

.A story about going above and beyond, not just by the lovely customers involved but also the thrift store itself. A distressed man went in to Vinnie's, he's homeless and sleeps in a tent locally. He found an air mattress in the shop to help give him a little more comfort, but didn't really have enough to purchase it. In no time he had store volunteers offering to pay for...

Today I placed my handbag on the cover of my daughter’s ute tray. We were going to the dog park and I was distracted loading the dogs. I forgot I had left it there. I was convinced I had packed it but when it wasn’t in the car I decided I must have left it at home. Three hours later a lovely man was tooting madly in our driveway. I went out and he had my purse and car keys. He had seen...

I just wanted to say thank you to the kind dad yesterday who made the time to stop and chat to my autistic 3 year old who was having a hard time due to the sensory overload. To most he probably just seemed like a naughty child and it’s extremely hard and somewhat embarrassing always getting ‘the look’ from everyone passing by like you’re not doing a good job while your child...

I was 21 years old sitting in a hospital waiting room trying to keep my fear down. My wife was pregnant but our son was 3 weeks past due and now complications had forced them to do an emergency C-section. I didn’t know if my wife or son was going to survive. After a long time, though, they brought my boy out healthy and breathing. I felt my fear flee and my heart expand with a joy I had never known...

We went into a cafe and I was just about to order when mum was complaining to me about the kids screaming coming from the nearby play equipment. Mum decided she did not want to stay so I got her back on scooter and she took...
