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

By Sipley Whackerman on July 01, 2018 / 4,393 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 / 4,856 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 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 / 5,241 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...

Heroes At The Beach

By Nina on June 26, 2018 / 4,690 views

What an incredible day at the beach! Not because it was the most fabulous weather. Not because we were with fabulous friends. No, it was the best day because a group of Men and a young boys took the time to notice a little boy with Different abilities, waving his arms in the air saying, my turn, me, me as the football was being tossed around over his head. Honestly, my first thought was oh man they are playing...

An Amazing Experience My Family Had Today

By Cambria Smith on June 26, 2018 / 4,517 views

There is so much hate in the world that I have to share this amazing experience my family had today. As a transracial adoptive family we get lots of looks and comments both good and bad. Well today we were in the middle of nowhere aka Four Corners when a couple told us how beautiful our family was. This couple happened to be African-American and they continued to talk about...

Adjustments

By Sonia Kaur on June 25, 2018 / 4,071 views

The word 'adjustment' seems very weird but please believe me adjustment is the key of happiness. Always make your point, just think about yourself, being selfish etc. Being selfish is good for a moment, but being selfish means making distance with everybody, with friends, family. Being selfish means hurting others unnecessary. Adjustments means you truly love a person or your family. Non...

Hitchhiking In New Zealand

By A Friend on June 25, 2018 / 3,366 views

I was hitchhiking in New Zealand. I obviously wanted to get from one city to another but didn't quite make it. Went with 3 different cars and only went like 50 minutes worth of driving in total (2 1/2 hour drive in total). After the the third car let me out I went to the main road leading out of town and held up my sign again. It started raining and after about 15 minutes a car pulled up and I already...

Retired Man Cleans Neighborhood

By Herman on June 22, 2018 / 3,575 views

After bad storms, this retired old man goes around our neighborhood and cleans the debris out of yards and catch basins. When I asked him why he said "because I am retired and have the time to help." 10/10 great...

Caterpillars

By Alley on June 21, 2018 / 4,468 views

I was just reading a story about a woman who was stressed about Caterpillars in her trees. I wish I had those problems. As a struggling single mom who lives in Los Angeles, my minimum work weeks are 60 hours just to put food on the table, my car was just demolished my a stranger in a parking lot who did not leave a note on my 19 year old car that is barely drivable and my home is falling apart (I need new...

Badly Needed Glasses

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 20, 2018 / 4,411 views

Beep! Beep! Beep! My arm swung over to my dresser and grabbed the alarm clock that had awakened me. I shut it off and pulled it to my face to see the hands pointing to 6 O’clock. Slowly I reached over and put it back down. I threw my covers off and swung my legs out of bed. I stepped over my still snoring beagle and stumbled into the bathroom. Then after I was done I walked back into the bedroom and...

Angels Still Exist

By Allison on June 19, 2018 / 4,535 views

I am so thankful that there are still kind and helpful people in the world. I pulled into the gas station to get gas and a drink Thursday morning on my way to work. Well, then I noticed that my tire was flat. The guy behind the counter was gonna help, but he couldn't leave the store. I walked outside and just asked a total stranger. He jumped right into action. He did the dad thing and taught me how to...

He Fills My Days With Love And Encouragement

By Bonnie Lee Proulx on June 16, 2018 / 4,142 views

I awoke one morning this week, feeling sore and tired, after a week and a half of battling caterpillars that were trying to destroy our beautiful trees. Hours spent spraying the trees and then rinsing them afterwards, began to take it's toll on my spirits and my muscles. This particular morning, I had decided that the caterpillars could not be vanquished, until I noticed this chalkboard message...

A Time For Me

By Ann Cabig on June 15, 2018 / 4,832 views

Since I became a mother, I cannot remember the last time I had quality time for myself... Even my simple hobby of reading a book was already a thing of the past. All my time evolved in taking care of the family, my kids, my husband, doing the house chores and of course working to earn a living. Whenever I get to be invited by my colleagues to go out after work, I politely declined telling them the truth that I...

How A Lifestyle Can Affect A Relationship

By Jhefdaily on June 15, 2018 / 3,625 views

A great lifestyle is a big contributor to improve your health or to your relationship. It should be the top of the list because we cannot think the right way if we are not healthy, we cannot perform our job well and become less effective in our respective responsibilities if we do not practice good lifestyle or perhaps a good habit. We cannot spend quality time to our love ones if we are sick, though it is...

A Surprising Interaction At McDonald's

By A Friend on June 14, 2018 / 4,658 views

Last weekend I was at a generic McDonald's off of a highway mid-day. My family and I were in the middle of a 6 hour drive back home and everyone was already in a bad mood. I was particularly down because of some personal stuff that I have going on. As my dad was getting the food the bag ripped and most of our fries fell on the floor. He cleaned them up and we split the fries that were left. A...

Dinner

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 14, 2018 / 4,016 views

When I was a boy growing up, after church on Sundays, we would always have a delicious Italian dinner. My Nana’s slow cooked sauce was the key. In it were cooked potatoes, chicken, steak, and meatballs. Mounds of spaghetti would also be boiled and dropped into the red sauce. We also had loaves of homemade Italian bread covered in butter. Every now and then there were also big chunks of Provolone cheese....
