Super Duper Proud Of My 11 Year Old Son Right Now!

By Nerissa on April 16, 2022 / 2,225 views

A few weeks ago he came to me asking if he could donate some toys to a family in need which I thought was a sweet idea so I posted on the local free page in which someone offered him some money for the items. My son took the money and said mum I’m going to donate this money to SAFE (Saving Animals From Euthanasia) which is the biggest animal rescue within WA. After donating the money and...

A Snoozing Beagle

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 13, 2022 / 2,913 views

It is amazing the things you get used to in this life. It is amazing the things you miss when they are gone. It was the start of Daylight Savings Time, the night when we all move our clocks forward an hour. I didn’t want to wake up too early and I didn’t want to sleep in too late. This, of course, only caused me to over think things and wake up during the middle of the night. When I woke...

Holiday Of Mishaps

By Mariana on April 13, 2022 / 2,358 views

Today, was one of those mixed days, started with a flight delay with a 4yo in tow… then a bungled access to travel lounge at the airport and me not prepared for not having access. Then, someone (a stranger) came out from the lounge (overhearing the attendant say that I had to log on and link my account etc etc) and said: can they be my guests? Oh the relief when at the time the 4yo was...

This incredible young man took time out on his work lunch break to sit and chat his entire lunch break away to this elderly lovely lonely lady. They were definitely not related. It's was so refreshing and great to see that there are some incredible young men out there in this world that are kind, compassionate and willing to take the time to have a really warm beautiful conversation ( yes I may...

A couple of weeks ago my 5 year old beautiful little boy received an award at school for showing kindness. Yesterday at the school athletics carnival, he came third in his race. He said, ‘Mum I’m going to swap my ribbon with Johnny’. I assumed Johnny had received a first place ribbon and told him he couldn’t swap with Johnny. He said,...

Today I Was Brought To Tears By A Stranger's Generosity

By Julie on April 11, 2022 / 2,172 views

I'm part of a buy nothing community fb page. I freaking love it. I've given and received so much within this group. Due to a whole range of reasons, health, finance, job changes etc, my family hasn't been on a holiday since my sons were 9 months and 3. They are now 7 and 9 yrs old and we have a 2yr old daughter. My hubby finally has a job where he gets public holidays and...

Today Is My Birthday And Didn't Have Anything Planned With Anyone

By Virginia on April 10, 2022 / 2,388 views

Feeling sad, I decided to take myself out for a birthday celebration breakfast (or brunch) by the time I arrived at my destination. On arrival I followed a couple ladies into the cafe and waited to get a menu. One lady asked me if we got our own table or do the staff find one for the customers. I said I think you get your own and I’m looking at that small one as I’m here to celebrate my...

Fostering A Pregnant Cat

By JephriB on April 06, 2022 / 2,587 views

12 days ago: Yesterday my wife asked me how I'd feel about fostering a pregnant cat for a few weeks while she gave birth to and raised kittens. I was kinda busy so I mumbled "Sure, that would be cool someday." Well, I was greeted this afternoon by a very pregnant cat. I guess today is someday. Today: Jade, the pregnant...

Helping A Mom During A Toddler Meltdown

By Pru on April 05, 2022 / 2,651 views

Yesterday I was leaving a gym where I teach classes, when my ears were assaulted by a high pitched shriek and wailing. Yes, it was a toddler in full on melt down. His mum was doing her best to reason with him whilst holding her other child, a young baby, but the terrible twos cannot be reasoned with. I stopped and asked if I could help by holding the baby while she sorted out her toddler,...

By Joy on April 05, 2022 / 2,546 views

I work in a hospital in Melbourne. There was a wedding in Melbourne yesterday. The bride had been a patient at the hospital I work at some time ago. Last week she contacted the hospital to say that she was getting married and would like several floral arrangements to be delivered to the hospital after her wedding to thank them for the care she received. The ward I work in were...

The True Treasure

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 04, 2022 / 2,932 views

The television this morning was hyping some new adventure movie about the hunt for a treasure ship full of gold. It reminded me of all the other movies just like it I had seen over the years. Later in the day I was at the gas station in line to pay for a filling up my car when the guy in front of me traded a handful of cash for a handful of hope in the form of Lotto tickets. Where did this desire...

'I Love You' At 3AM

By A Friend on March 31, 2022 / 2,678 views

My girlfriend randomly sends me "I love you" at 3AM and immediately goes back to sleep. My girlfriend lives on the other side of the globe and there's a 9.5 hour time difference between us. She randomly wakes up when it's the evening for me and texts me "I love you" and goes back to sleep immediately. All the stress, fatigue, and tiredom due to work...

$100 Tip

My hubby decided to get food delivered last night. It arrived and he came to talk to me about it. He said the driver was meant to be coming by bicycle according to the app but when he arrived he was in a car and looking lost so my hubby went out to him. He said, “I thought you were coming by bike.” and the driver said, “I usually do but my bike was stolen last week so my boss has...

A Huge Shout Out To Three Lovely Ladies Who Came To My Aid At The Hospital Yesterday

By Elaine on March 30, 2022 / 2,182 views

I had to go for some appointments, was running a little late, parked in my usual spot on the top floor. I am eligible for disabled parking, which is mainly on the ground floor, but tend to leave that for those worse off than me and just catch the lift. Unfortunately after wading through small streams of runnoff from the sideways rain that was blowing in under the roof, the lifts seem to have been victims of...

I Saw An Elderly Lady I Know Struggling

By Doug on March 28, 2022 / 2,490 views

A couple of Christmas's ago I was walking from my car to the supermarket on Christmas eve. I saw an elderly lady I know struggling, to the point of dropping a box of expensive beers into the back of an old car. I helped her with the beers and said to her she didn't fit the mold of a beer drinker. She told me her how water service had died. She said her hot...

The Library Cat

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 28, 2022 / 2,818 views

I have always loved libraries ever since I was a boy. When you would go in the smell of the books promised fresh adventures, new learning, and wonderful imagination in their pages. Over the years I have read more books than I can count and visited the local libraries more times than I can remember. Now with the age of the internet and so many faces in screens instead of books I am concerned places like these...

5 Years Ago Our Lovely Landlord Gave Us A Weeks Free Rent As A Wedding Present

By Louise on March 24, 2022 / 2,270 views

I was overwhelmed that someone could be that kind, he is a very lovely man and a lovely landlord. We lived in that house for 3 years before buying our own home. Fast forward to present day, I received a text message from our cleaner apologising as he would be unable to come for that fortnight's clean as his wife had gone into labour and through some complications required a c-section....
