When I'm An Old Lady

By Joanne Bailey Baxter on July 23, 2018 / 6,599 views

When I'm an old lady, I'll live with each kid, And bring so much happiness just as they did. I want to pay back all the joy they've provided. Returning each deed! Oh, they'll be so excited! (When I'm an old lady and live with my kids...) I'll write on the walls with reds, whites, and blues, And bounce on the furniture.....wearing my...

Giraffes

My wife loves giraffes, so when we first started dating, I took her to her first close up experience with one. This is still one of my favorite photos of her - it was pure bliss, followed by buckets of happy...

A Simple Act

This Lowe's employee intervened when my son was having a meltdown. Little dude went from screaming to joyfully pounding on the keyboard. This simple act turned my whole day...

Still There

By Joseph J. Mazzella on July 17, 2018 / 4,411 views

I don’t like to dust and only do so when it is absolutely necessary. Yet, with the summer fans blowing and the dogs shedding I found myself working my duster the other day wiping dog hair and dust off the pictures hanging on my wall. I was going as quickly as possible trying to get it over with. In my haste, however, I knocked one the pictures down. I managed to catch it before it hit the floor....

Self Love Explained

By Xenatona on July 16, 2018 / 4,492 views

True self-love is not selfish pleasure, but rather the origin of discipline and willpower. Self-love is not giving yourself everything you want, but rather giving yourself the things that are good for you. Spending the weekend eating pizza and watching movies can feel great, but that is not self-love. Self-love is discipline. It says, “You may not like this, but the future You will want to start...

Cold Drinks On A Hot Day

By Corbaybay on July 12, 2018 / 4,452 views

A girl at work bought a bunch of those big Powerade bottles for the driver's at work when it was in the 90s with high humidity a few weeks ago. Some of the other girls made fun of her for wasting her money. She really is the sweetest person and on a budget. We have at least 2 UPS, 1 mail carrier, 1-2FedX and another profession specific delivery drivers dropping off and picking up...

Deja Vu

By The Tooth King on July 11, 2018 / 4,887 views

Was at the grocery store a while ago and overheard a conversation between a young couple. They were trying to decide how much more they could spend this week. As I walked by, I could see new wedding bands and listened to her ask him "do we have enough to get this too?" His reply was "do you have enough gas in your car til Friday". I've never had a flashback so vivid, to 20+ years ago,...

Meet Johnny

By Frisco2069 on July 11, 2018 / 4,159 views

This man helps customers load groceries in their car and doesn't work for the grocery store. His name is Johnny and he is wonderful. The lot has many stores in it and it's "his job" to go to them every day and help out. Anytime we see him at the Mexican restaurant, he eats with us. Although, they give him free food for his services. We love him and want his company. He likes it...

Just Listen!

By Judith Maduhu on July 09, 2018 / 5,473 views

After long hours of waiting for my friend at the bus station, I got tired and was tempted to just leave and plan another meeting. As I was still deciding, there came a man selling culture shoes and started showing them off to me so as I could buy or something, I just smiled and said thank you. I don't know if it was the smile or what but the young-man stepped closer and stood beside me and started talking...

Miracles Happen Every Day

By Judith Maduhu on July 08, 2018 / 5,516 views

I don't know how you'll call this encounter but personally it's my small miracle. Today was a report submission day at our University, so everyone was to submit their report to the school coordinator. The coordinator is known to be a very strict man with a questionable personality (cautious about small things, harsh and incorrigible). So when a person went to collect the report, he would cross...

Welcome Home Nirvana

By Joakur on July 06, 2018 / 3,951 views

I said no three times at the SPCA because I’m not a cat person. She sat and purred in my lap as the lady said "How? She won't let anyone hold her!". I knew I wanted her then. Three days later my girlfriend said "she got adopted today". When I asked by who, she said "us!".  Welcome home,...

To The Father Who Walked Into My Work With His Three Kids

By A Friend on July 05, 2018 / 4,735 views

You ordered large fruit punches all around. The kids were so happy. You asked about our adobo pizza, said the kids were interested, I told you you wouldn't regret it. The little one asked for a mini adobo fried rice omelette. You said whatever she wants. I asked if anyone wanted anything else. The big kid wanted the lechon sisig cheese fries. You said before anything else, what was my total at....

I started my dream job one month ago after a three-year job search, and it’s been wonderful but challenging and stressful at times. One of the higher ups left this card on my desk today. It made my...

Boy Gets Free Ice Cream After Saving This Man's Life

By Sipley Whackerman on July 01, 2018 / 4,345 views

I was biking home from school one day and the ice cream truck is where it normally is and I always go and get an ice cream, but I was worried that something was wrong when I saw a huge line of people waiting in line and the man wasn't serving anyone. I went and had a closer look and I saw that the man had fainted inside of the van. I didn't know what to do but I remembered my first aid training so I...

My World

By Jack on July 01, 2018 / 4,768 views

I know this looks meaningless but to me it's my world. My wife & daughter sleeping with their feet on me, on our couch in our home. 421 days ago I was in active addiction, homeless, putting my family through a living hell. This is my recovery: peace &...

I am 18 and I study at an alternative school in Australia. Part of it is employment, and part of it is getting our year 12's. I have finally got an employment opportunity from it and my teacher has helped me so much. Its been a while, but finally it happened. And he took me to the op shop to buy me a new shirt I could wear to an interview. The day of the interview, I turned up in my...

A Simple Act Of Kindness

By Estella on June 28, 2018 / 5,183 views

Late this evening, I got a ride to the local grocery store. After loading up my cart and checking out, my phone dies right as I'm about to confirm my uber. No portable charger on me (none sold in the grocery store) , no friends nearby, I don't know the way back (and even if I did, walking alone, at night, as a female, in Cleveland, is not a good idea). I of course had a panic attack. So this post is a...
