Exercise Your Soul

By Joseph J. Mazzella on November 04, 2019 / 3,825 views

Almost every morning for the last 25 years I have exercised my body. It is nothing too strenuous. It is just a light workout to maintain my health. I don’t do it to look good or to compete in some sport. I just do it because I want to live longer and feel better. I am sure many of you do the same. Our bodies aren’t the only part of us that needs exercise, however. There is a far more...

My morning started out normally. I snoozed twice, took care of my three cats, hurried to complete chores while gulping down lukewarm coffee, and then raced out the door for my mid-morning appointment. By the time I finished my appointment, I was starving. I stopped at Moe’s Southwest Grill to order a burrito to take home and eat while working. Since it was a little before noon,...

By A Friend on October 29, 2019 / 2,513 views

My mom passed away about 5 weeks ago...we're having a service for her this weekend. I wanted to make a program for the funeral that had details of her life, photos and some graphics. I wanted it to fold in half like a greeting card so that meant one of the panels had to be flipped upside down...the entire program was really difficult to make, I was extremely distraught the entire time so I...

Faith In Humanity Restored

By A Friend on October 29, 2019 / 3,529 views

Today the nicest dude ever just helped me on my way home from town this evening. I had two paper bags and they both split as I had just stepped on to a busy main road with my twin daughters in their pushchair. I couldn’t instantly get the pram out of the road as the items on the floor were underneath the back wheels. He grabbed the girls as I was trying to move the items and got...

A Hidden Letter

By Anjali Mohapatra on October 29, 2019 / 3,216 views

Today is Sunday. This is the only day, I usually get up late but devote some of my time for cleaning, dusting or re-arrangement of the household articles. So, I got up at fifteen minutes left to be nine. Well, like everyday, I finished my daily routine. Holding a cup of black lemon tea, I took a piece of cloth and started dusting first. I couldn't dust my book-shelf, maybe for last three, four months. So,...

I Paid For The Persons Order Behind Me

By A Friend on October 24, 2019 / 2,514 views

I paid for the persons order behind me in the drive-through line at Starbucks but asked the barista to tell them it’s okay not to keep it going and just let a good thing be. It was my first time paying for another order. I’m sure it’s fun for the baristas to ask people if they want to “keep it going” but in a way that defeats the purpose. When you’re...

Just Relax

By A Friend on October 21, 2019 / 3,291 views

Sometimes you got to take a step back from whatever you are doing and relax. Everything you want to do will get done sooner or later. Don't force anything. Don't fall prey to anxieties assuming you can get it all done right now. It’s okay to slow down. Remember, Rome wasn’t build in a...

When I first came to Altoona, I was scared but there were some kids with kindness. I was playing a game with a friend, and I saw a lonely boy, so with some of the kindness I had, I invited them to play. Today that one boy is one of my best friends and I'm glad I invited him to...

I Witnessed True Love Last Night

By A Friend on October 12, 2019 / 4,414 views

Despite the cliché title, I truly witnessed a love that brought me to tears when I got home from work last night. I work as a waiter at a hotel. Last night this elderly(Late 60's/Early 70's) white, seemingly wealthy couple came into the restaurant and my co-worker seated them. We usually do our own tables, but because we were so busy last night we helped each other out. At one point...

My McDonald's Angel

By Pamela on October 11, 2019 / 4,134 views

It all started as I landed at the Toronto airport a day late - my airport of origination was surrounded by flooded streets and all flights were cancelled the day before. At 6pm, I was tired from a long day of traveling from the southern tip of Texas. To my surprise, and horror, the rental car service I found on the internet - note to self - go brand-name next time, was closed! I had no...

I Pick Up A Piece Of Trash A Day

By A Friend on October 10, 2019 / 3,172 views

I live in a city downtown and frequently notice the trash on the side of the road, as I'm sure most of us do in their own city. So every time I take my dog for a walk or go outside, I pick up at least one piece of trash. Although this seems small in the moment and feels like it won't make a difference, it truly helps over time as well as makes me feel good about myself for helping...

You Never Know What Will Happen In Life. Keep Going.

By Erin on October 10, 2019 / 5,051 views

In 2016, at the age of 25, I was newly weened off of adderall, jobless, just graduated with a degree I hated to please my mother, living with my parents after a breakup that shook my up my entire existence, and in thousands of dollars of debt. It wasn't looking good. Later that year I decided to get a job part-time since no full-time offers were coming in. I opted for one in the city...

Gaining Trust

By Sadie on October 09, 2019 / 2,888 views

If any cat has taught me one thing, it's patience. Patience for others and not freaking out over the small things. There was a little tabby cat (nicknamed Hash by the town) that always lurked around the park where I go daily. Every day I fed it little snacks that I carried with me, and usually it would stay away from me. Yesterday, it let me pet it for the first time in 6 months. I...
