By A Friend on September 04, 2026 / 173 views

1st smile: I'm leaving my physical therapy appointment, and I was wearing a silly tank top that says "Built in the Sixties, Original and Unrestored. Some Parts Still in Working Order" I pass the front desk where a woman was waiting near it in a wheelchair. She happily said "Yay for the sixties!" I gave her a thumbs up and a "hooyah" she said "61 here" and...

Feeling So Good Right Now And Just Have To Share My Happiness!

By A Friend on September 03, 2026 / 325 views

Today something happened that made me feel so good I just had to share it. A grocery store here in Florida has a club you sign up for and get rewards and other nice things. I had a reward for a free bunch of flowers. Picked out the bouquet and went through the line. When I finished paying I handed the woman behind me the bouquet and told her enjoy your flowers. She was...

To The South African Man Who Helped Me At The Service Station - Thank You

By A Friend on September 02, 2026 / 524 views

Yesterday I was driving back from Port Lympne Safari Park to my AirBNB (28 mile journey), and the tyre pressure light came up on my ID3 dashboard around 4 miles in. I started stressing. Stopped at the next services to charge my car and use my inflator, but couldn't get it to work... It was deflating the tyre and I couldn't figure out how to change the settings! Started stressing more, and a...

Love Thy Neighbor

By A Friend on September 01, 2026 / 826 views

My Mexican neighbors hardly speak English… They always have the boys over. Even with the language barrier, we can get along. Well, they’re all drinking. I went to get pizza for myself… the grand idea to get them a pizza too came across me. It’s only $5. I did just that… “GRACIASSS AMIGOOO GRACIASSSS” “Quieres (you...

A Legacy Of Love

I hope this new story about my Aunt Charlotte brings a little joy to your day. God bless you always. I caught myself the other day. I had just sat down at my computer keyboard to write a letter to my Aunt Charlotte when I remembered that she was no longer with us. After a hundred years of spreading laughter and love down here on Earth, God had finally called her home to help Him run Heaven....

Random Act Of Kindness At Waffle House An Instant Mood Lift

By Tealpeace on August 28, 2026 / 1,433 views

Pretty simple, really. Had a normal day at work, with a few minor interactions that tilted the mood meter down a little. Stopped at Waffle House for dinner (having a craving for those hash browns!) and took a booth at one end away from the few others in there. The last to finish, I go up to pay just after a man at the counter paid for his meal. I step up and my server says my meal was...

I Keep Thinking About Something I Did For A Stranger

By Addi on August 27, 2026 / 1,655 views

A few months ago, I was walking home when I saw an elderly man struggling with two heavy bags outside a grocery store. He looked exhausted. I asked if he needed help, and he hesitated before handing me one of the bags. His house was almost a mile away. We walked together, and somewhere along the way he told me that his wife had passed away recently and that he was still getting...

Two Random Acts Of Kindness In Less Than Ten Minutes

By A Friend on August 26, 2026 / 1,609 views

As a shift supervisor for a retail drug store chain this random act of kindness isn’t new. However I’ve never seen two acts happen in such a short period of time. For context there is a high school a few blocks away from my store. There’s also a fast food restaurant that we share our parking lot with. It’s quite common for us to have a large influx of high school students...

I Spent A Few Minutes Learning Sign Language To Say Thank You

By Luna-peaches on August 25, 2026 / 1,692 views

There’s a restaurant in my city my family and I regularly go to that employs people who are hard of hearing or non speaking, and I’ve always been really touched by that. I went back yesterday and, before going, decided to spend a few minutes learning some basic sign language so I could sign “thank you” and “have a good day” to my waiter who has waited on us...

Kevin From Goodwill

By Leann on August 24, 2026 / 1,824 views

Years ago, I was in a tumultuous relationship living in Portland, Oregon, far from my home in Southern California. I found myself in a tough situation. I was seven months pregnant and working full time while my husband stayed at home. His job was to help us find a cheaper place to live since our rent was $1,200 and my paycheck was $1,400. Often, I would work nights in not the best...

Mom Has Son Get An Old Man His Extra Drink To Be Helpful

By A Friend on August 24, 2026 / 1,708 views

This just happened today. The mom doesn’t know it, but I needed a pick me up and she gave it to me. I’m a shift supervisor for a retail drug store chain. When I’m at the register I will usually tell customers of certain deals their items have. I see this gesture of goodwill as a way of marketing. I’m at the register helping my cashier handle a long line. An old man...

A Girl's Kind Gesture Through A Marketplace Listing

By A Friend on August 21, 2026 / 2,238 views

So it was a random Friday night, I was browsing Marketplace listings for electronics and came across a listing for a used bluetooth speaker - but the text below upset me... The guy was basically selling this speaker which was a gift from his father, but he had bills to pay and just had no way of coming up with money. I could feel the hurt just from his words. I've been in a similar boat before,...

More Beautiful

By Joseph J. Mazzella on August 20, 2026 / 1,072 views

I woke up just as the sun was rising the other day. As I walked my dogs I noticed the fireflies still shining their little lights while the sun turned the sky a brilliant gold. I looked at the green leaves and thick grass and watched as the dew on them sparkled in the morning light. It was so beautiful that it brightened my heart. Later as I sipped my morning coffee I looked out the kitchen window...

We Were Saved By Strangers Who Left Without Saying A Word

By Storm5508 on August 19, 2026 / 2,311 views

Some 15 years ago me and my sister (we were in our late teens/20s) were swimming in the sea when it's rather rough/windy, and she was pulled away from shore by a current. I swam out to get her but all I could do was to keep us barely afloat, didn't have enough strength to fight the current to get back, and it was so far away from shore I thought no one could have seen us. We...

I'm currently sitting on a plane 30,000 feet above land on my way to Louisiana to surprise my daughter for move in for her freshman year at LSU. I and we have managed to keep the secret for over 2 months when I booked my flight. She's currently traveling there with my wife on a different flight and has no idea I'm coming. To give a little backstory, I didn't...

I Went Out For A Walk This Afternoon And This Happened

By A Friend on August 17, 2026 / 2,520 views

So this afternoon I was feeling pretty awful and decided to go for a walk. There’s a nice park around 40 minutes from my house, walking of course, so I headed there. By the time I got there, I was still feeling pretty down and decided to get myself an ice cream. I’m trying not to drink, so I got an ice cream instead of an ice-cold beer. I stood by the shop eating my ice cream...

The Kind Waiting Room Stranger Who Offered To Get My Mom Something To Eat

By Mamadramaqueen on August 15, 2026 / 2,571 views

My Mom said she was sitting there feeling worried because the last time he had one done, they found he had a widowmaker blockage and kept him in the hospital. Then a lady who had also been waiting for someone, along with her daughter, got up to leave the waiting room. The lady leaned over and whispered to my Mom that she was going down to the cafeteria and asked if she could bring her something to...
