So my son 7 years old has saved his money over the past year+. He has 235$. We are driving home the other day. Suddenly he randomly says "next time I see a homeless person I'm going to buy them one of these houses". I replied saying how nice that would be of him and what made you think of that? He said "that neighborhood had a sign that said new...

My wife drives a school bus. It’s a tougher job than most think for minimal pay but she tries her best to make her passengers happy while keeping them safe. One of her younger elementary students got on the bus this morning with a tray of brownies he had made for firemen who were speaking at his school today. When they arrived at school, on his way off the bus, he tripped and spilled the tray...

Me (left) and my dad (right) a few years ago. I caught an undiagnosed lung infection that left me in a bad way for about 10 days. Dad just used to sit next to me for hours and read, I wasn't really with it but he had obviously decided my breathing tube was more comfortable in this...

One day my fiancé sent me a text message telling me that she needs money for her graduation fee. However, she has no salary for the month of May because classes have already ended. I replied to her, "Okay, this is what you are going to do. Put it in your mind that after 30 days you will have the money that you need. Worried and sad, she said, "Okay, I will...

A Million Moments

It was the first day of April, but Mother Nature hadn't gotten the message. Like some bad April Fool's Day joke the ground was hard and frozen when I walked outside. The grass and few daffodils that had bloomed were covered in frost. The single dandelion that had popped its head through the ground had closed up again in the below freezing cold. I watched the sun peeking over the trees and wondered if...

My wife sent me this picture this morning. She was in Johnston, SC and ran over something in the road and got an immediate flat tire. She called Triple AAA and me, but before either of us got there, this nice gentleman stopped and had it changed in less than 20 min. She was very relieved and thankful, and so was I. Want to give a shout out to this man who took the time out and...

I wrecked my car this week and now it's at the collision shop. They're determining whether it's totaled or not. I was waiting a long time on a ride today and there was this red-faced homeless woman sitting outside the store with two bags, so I started talking to her. I told her my name. She had a really sad, tragic story which made me very humbled and grateful for what I had....

This just recently happened to me. A bit of backstory that's important: my family has always been poor, but we are a very close knit family, who loves our animals above any possessions. Now this January, things went south for our family, taking us from just poor, to homeless and having lost everything everything except for our animals. It was a cold winter in ND and we had no choice but to move south, and...

My daughter and her little dog Lexie have a special bond. I can still remember the day we rescued her from the animal shelter. Lexie squirmed in my arms when I held her but the second I handed this eight pound pup to my daughter she settled down and snuggled in. My daughter cried tears of joy holding her on the way home and Lexie happily licked them away. Since then she and my daughter have been inseparable....

Go Slowly

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 25, 2019 / 4,123 views

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 25, 2019 / 4,123 views

I tend to go slowly when I drive in the mountains of my home. I am never in much of a hurry. The forest scenery is beautiful no matter what the season. And it is easier to miss the potholes which spring up like dandelions this time of the year. This morning I was driving even slower than usual because an early March snow had turned the roads slick and slippery. Going up a mountain road I had slowed down to...

My wife and I parked at a trailhead the same time as a young man with a distorted gate. He was covered in tattoos. I assumed he was on drugs, so we tried to distance ourselves from him. But he struggled hard to catch up and wanted to talk some. We slowed down. He said he was recovering from a bad time in his life. And yes, we found he did lots of drugs! We politely left him in the dust, heading up river. An...

As the train picked up it's speed, the passengers slowly settled down on their seats. I reserved the lower berth, so that I could enjoy the beauty of out side from the moving train. I don't know why I always preferred to get the window seat. An elderly lady occupied the front seat of mine. I looked at her. She must be in her eighties, I guessed. At one point, we met our eyes. She smiled at me. With...

OK, here's the deal. I've just been run over by a car – been in an accident. Except they say you can't use the word 'accident' because it implies blame. But what the hell, I have been in an accident and, oh boy, am I blaming someone. I didn't get a good look, of course. It happened too quickly. A step off the sidewalk, a rush of wind, something blue and metallic coming...

The first time I saw Kai she was sitting in my front yard, hugging my dog, Harley. She and her husband Sean had just moved into a tiny home down the hill from us. I think she was drawn to Harley's friendly personality just as he was drawn to hers. From the second I talked to her I knew Kai would be a cherished friend. Her smile and good cheer made me feel better just being around her. Her high voice was...
