By A Friend on May 04, 2019 / 4,263 views

I was at the local gas station getting a sandwich. The girl behind the counter is one of my friends girlfriends so I'm standing there shooting the breeze when I feel a tug on my hoodie sleeve. I look down and this little guy says "my grandma fell down and hurt her knees." I follow him outside and an older woman is sitting on the curb kind of shakin. At this point there were...

Everything Changes When You Begin To Love Yourself

By A Friend on May 02, 2019 / 4,538 views

You no longer send out energy of desperation or the need to be filled from the outside. You become a powerful source within yourself that attracts better. The more you love who you are, the less you seek validation and approval. You're growing in ways you don't realize yet. You’re being pushed out of your comfort zone to step into your truth. It's all about evolving right now....

The Pure Joy And Delight On Our Son's Face Was Priceless

By Elisabeth Fraser Au-Yeung on April 30, 2019 / 3,615 views

Today we had a hero join us for our son's 5th birthday. Our son Henry has neurological and speech disorders. He hasn't had the chance to meet many friends yet because he's in intensive speech, OT, swim and riding lessons/therapy most of the week. He just started preschool this year and is making good progress. Anyway, we worried that today on his birthday...

There's A Reason People Are Still Saying, 'Carpe Diem'

By Ed on April 29, 2019 / 3,449 views

Stop waiting. Start doing. It's all too easy to tell ourselves that once we lose twenty pounds, we'll be happy, or once we have more free time, we'll start reading more and working out. We think we're too busy now to do that thing we want to do, or we'll be happy once we've done that thing, but we haven't even started working on it. News Flash: You'll always be busy....

Audrey I Know You Sneak Into My Room At Night

By A Friend on April 29, 2019 / 3,682 views

Audrey when we found you, you were 1/2 dead and 100% feral. I'm glad you grew out of attacking everyone. Only took 4 years. I'm glad you've learned to allow the occasional family friend to pet your head....only the head anywhere else and you bite and that took 8 years. I've accepted that you don't really like humans and are happy just doing your own thing. But can I...

A Single Evergreen

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 26, 2019 / 4,693 views

When my daughter was in grade school one day she brought home 4 tiny twigs. They were trees given to the students by the school to plant. None of them looked very hardy but with a hope for the future I got a spade and planted them in our backyard. Over the years an accident with the lawnmower and poor soil brought an end to three of them. All that was left was a single evergreen. It grew crooked and...

A Letter To Mom And Dad

By Milton Lopez Delgado on April 26, 2019 / 3,886 views

Dear Mom & Dad, This is the first chance I had to write to you. I'm sorry if I made you worry. I want you to know that all is well and I arrived safe and sound at Camp Heaven. Everything around me is more beautiful than I could ever have imagined. The trip was short. I got here just after I closed my eyes and fell asleep. It was as if no time had past at all. I miss you...

By Todd Love on April 26, 2019 / 4,129 views

What are the chances? The pilot was standing around as I got out of my wheelchair to board my flight to Portland. He followed me and the flight attendant who volunteered to carry my bag. I fling myself into my seat. He quickly asked, "were you in the military." I replied "yes." He said, "Afghanistan...

My Friend Daisy

By Jay Abington on April 19, 2019 / 4,485 views

Getting out of the back of the truck I stood in at a ranch home that was set back from the dirt road just enough to be completely shaded by the biggest oak tree I had ever seen. The house was square with a rusty old screened in porch that went all the way around. I found out later it was built around 1860 and was completely constructed with square nails. To the left was a very impressive...

Morning Affirmation

By A Friend on April 19, 2019 / 6,619 views

Today is going to be a beautiful day. You are going to have a lot of experiences, some you perceive as good and some that you perceive as bad. You will make it through all of them. You will learn, a lot and perhaps more through the experiences that you didn’t want or expect. You get to experience contrast, the light and the dark, both will guide you in the direction you are meant to go. Both will teach...

A Second Chance

On the last night of the trip I had about an hour's daylight left for a ride so I took off and headed for the back side of the lake about 4 miles from camp as I come around a corner and I'm suddenly engulfed in a cloud of dust but I can see well enough to make out tire tracks going from the middle of the road then around the corner .as I proceed with caution around the corner. I see a truck has just...

Marooned Dog Strikes Oil!

By Troy Kester on April 18, 2019 / 3,182 views

A dog named Fools Gold was at sea with his owners on a yacht. A rail came loose and suddenly she fell overboard. She swam almost all day, wondering if she's ever find dry land or be rescued. As she swam, she looked back over her life and remembered why she was named just so. One bad happening after another! Being abandoned, being attacked by vicious pitbulls and surviving and getting a broken leg. He...

A Milkshake

I work in a pharmacy and had been having a bad day. An elderly lady came in to drop off her husband’s script and I told her it’d be about a half hour. She told me that it’s fine and that they were going out to eat and I jokingly told her to bring me a milkshake. I was so...

Listen To The Echo!

By Anjali on April 14, 2019 / 3,510 views

A beautiful, breathtaking tabla music echoed on the air, breaking the silence of the surrounding everyday at blue hour, that the Sun is at a significant depth below the horizon. Many years passed, but still the same tabla practice was going on everyday for three, four hours! Even the birds were silent to listen the soothing music, coming out from a small hut just near a river bank. Adjacent to it, was a very...

Made My Heart Happy

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...
