Hot Wheels Surprise

Thank you to the person that left a lovely surprise in my mailbox, I'm guessing it's from a nice neighbour as I live in a quiet court. It put a smile on my...

Four Fawns

By Joseph J. Mazzella on July 27, 2022 / 2,664 views

Driving here in the mountains of my home can be a challenge even in the Summertime. The potholes and patches in the roads make for a rough ride. The low hanging trees, full of green leaves limit your visibility. And you always have to be on the lookout for dogs, cats, and deer crossing the road. I saw a sad sight here just the other day. As I was driving along I saw a baby fawn lying dead along the...

An Amazing Act Of Kindness

By Chris on July 26, 2022 / 3,019 views

I just went to buy a Samsung washer and dryer from a guy, and he was asking $500. I told him I just had a kid and if he could take $400, I’d be really grateful. I got home, hooked everything up, and everything worked great. I opened up the dryer to check the lint filter and I was shocked my $400 was sitting in there. I got a message from him saying, 'Check the dryer. A gift for...

A Baby Monitor

By Ina on July 25, 2022 / 2,859 views

My husband passed away this spring, after a long struggle with heart disease. We had wonderful hospice care near the end, and they ordered a hospital bed for the family room because he was too weak to come upstairs. Mt. Lebanon has a Freebo group where members give away or lend things they no longer need. I asked if anyone had a baby monitor that I could borrow. One woman did, and she came over and...

A Painting

Thank you to a lovely lady named Cho in our neighbourhood who while out on on her walk took a photo of our kelpie Tessa a month ago, and then returned this morning with this beautiful oil painting. She has captured Tessa exactly! Refusing any payment the best we could do was gift some oranges in return. Thank you so much Cho, you really made our...

The Most Beautiful Random Act Of Kindness My Daughter Just Experienced

By Melly on July 21, 2022 / 2,818 views

Just wanted to post a story of the most beautiful random act of kindness my daughter just experienced. My daughter soon to be 21 has just moved up near Byron Bay with her boyfriend. They're renting an unfurnished house and just decided to "wing it" when they got there. They saw advertised a sofa for free that was about 45 minutes from where they live. The ad said it was out...

Dad's Recliner

By Joseph J. Mazzella on July 19, 2022 / 3,117 views

When I was 5 years old my Dad, Mom, two brothers and I all lived in my Nana’s 70 year old ramshackle house. We didn’t really own anything but since we didn’t feel poor, we weren’t poor. We grew our own food, patched our own clothes, and were happy. And after school each day I would play outside and wait patiently for my Dad to get home from work. He would always arrive tired...

What A Beautiful Way To Finish Our Holiday

By Susie on July 18, 2022 / 2,217 views

Last night we flew home after ten glorious days in Bali. Our flight was delayed and it was already past the kids bedtime when we boarded. As we settled in our seats, I caught your eye as your sat wedged in the window seat next to my 10 year old. I knew you were kind, just by your eyes- they sparkled when you smiled. As my 5 year old dozed off between my husband and I in the next row, I hoped my...

I Never Thought It Will Happen To Me

By Rosanna on July 18, 2022 / 2,260 views

I never thought it will happen to me but I'm fortunate to receive an amazing kindness from a stranger that was in drive through waiting for their order. I was rushing this morning so completely forgot my purse with all my cards. Lining up for coffee and had $20 cash, ready to pay for my order. The front server told me the car on front paid my bill. So grateful, so happy with teary...

Your Place

By Joseph J. Mazzella on July 16, 2022 / 2,429 views

Summer brings a literal explosion of LIFE here in the mountains of my home. The forested hillsides become an ocean of green leaves. In the meadows and along the roadsides you see buttercups, dandelions, sweet clover, daisies, black eyed Susan’s and Queen Anne’s Lace. Butterflies and bumblebees dance above them. In the trees dozens of species of birds are singing love songs, building nests, and...

The Little Things In Life Really Matter!

By Cindy on July 16, 2022 / 2,411 views

Commuting by train is never pleasant in Japan but today was different. I almost had an opportunity to sit down when an elderly lady hopped on the train. I naturally directed her to the seat I had my eye on and she thanked me. A few stops later as I was about to leave the train, she gently reached out to stop me and passed me this smiley patch to take with me. I will be in a smiley mood...

I've Been Working Hard With My Children On Recognizing When Someone Does Something Nice For Us

By Kelly on July 13, 2022 / 2,428 views

I’ve been working hard with my children (Mr 8 & Miss 5), on recognizing when someone does something nice for us that they didn’t have to make it easier for us, like moving aside in the shopping aisle, opening a door for us, stopping to let us cross the road etc and saying thank you in recognition of that gesture. Also in recognizing that someone many need our help and to offer assistance...

Michael In Row 16

By Danni on July 13, 2022 / 2,213 views

After having our flights cancelled Monday I was able to get new ones for Tuesday. Michael in row 16, I just want to thank you again and sing your praises. We were the last ones on the plane, and as soon as you saw my daughter you offered her the window seat, a seat you had paid extra for! When the food cart came around you had a $15 voucher you then offered us as you weren't going to...

She Adored Your Kindness

By Lizzy on July 11, 2022 / 2,133 views

On the weekend my little fire-heart 4 year old was staying with her Nanny. They went to a park and when they got there little Miss spied a young couple in their late teens/early 20s and she went straight up to them and asked "Will you play with me? Will you play on the swings with me?" My mother in law, who is the kindest person, was worried that little Miss was intruding on...

We Need More Acts Of Kindness

Today as I sat struggling to eat while making sure to entertain my baby a lovely lady who was watching and sitting next to me with her partner decided to offer her help, she just wanted the mother she saw be able to eat and saw the struggle. She didn't speak much English but I could understand her, she held Despina while I finished my food. Women supporting women, they aren't parents but are...

And He Will Never Know

By Carol on July 08, 2022 / 2,449 views

Yesterday I went to my medical practice co-op where we pay a yearly fee then are bulk billed for everything. The receptionist asked a guy who looked so beaten down, if he had money to pay his instalment. He didn’t. So once I had gone in to the doctor, I asked to pay his years fee. The receptionist was floored … all I said very quietly was that I want to pay his fee. Being a...

A Conversation

By Linda P on July 07, 2022 / 2,849 views

I stopped by Daiso the Japanese store not far from our house this afternoon just to browse. As I was there I met a friendly woman around 85 or so. Our encounter somehow reminded me of years ago when the boys were very small. I would sometimes take the boys to walk around and play in the mall. There were various rock carved statues of animals, one I remember being a tortise, put in front of places throughout...
