I Am Going To Marry You

By Anonymous on January 27, 2017 / 5,887 views

I fell in love with you at first sight. It was raining, and I was in high school (my God, was I ever really in high school?), and I saw you, and the world shifted from its axis. The rotations reversed. Everything became disjointed and more real in an instant. That was a long, long time ago. You didn't know. Since then, our lives have taken very different paths. We have been many things to each...

It's The Little Things

By Excellent Underpants on January 27, 2017 / 1,618 views

I'm a big dude, and finding fun things to wear in my size can be difficult. Yesterday, on a whim I checked the underwear aisle at the department store I was in, and they had some in my size. Not only are they in my size, they are snug fitting, comfortable, and they have bright colors and good looking patterns on them. I feel like a million bucks. I know no one is going to see them today (though feeling...

Don't Be Afraid To Take Chances

By Sunny Skyz on January 27, 2017 / 5,218 views

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You’ll have your heart broken and you’ll break others’ hearts. You’ll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you’ll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you’ve never...

Just Winter

By Joseph J. Mazzella on January 24, 2017 / 2,584 views

I can still remember it like it was yesterday. It was a dark, dreary day. The Christmas decorations had been taken down. The old year had given way to the new. Now it was just Winter. Outside a bitter wind was blowing. Gray clouds covered the sun. Several inches of snow lay on the grass and trees. Inside my water was dripping so my pipes wouldn’t freeze and I was sipping coffee so I wouldn’t freeze...

Pat

By Perla K.PPP on January 23, 2017 / 3,899 views

In April 2014 I had a major surgery, a hysterectomy. The day after the operation the catheters were removed and the nurse told me that I had to get out of bed and walk a little. I felt very tired and every movement caused me a lot of pain, especially the sharp pinching sensation of the surgical staples on my abdomen was very uncomfortable. However, even with the pain and discomfort I could get up and I just...

One Life

By Alexander Kovarovic on January 23, 2017 / 3,159 views

What's wrong with me? It's something every teenager wonders from time to time throughout their life. Most people just say "nothing" or "you're perfect just the way you are" when asked that question. Well yes that is true, you are perfect just the way you are, but does hearing that really help you feel better about yourself? No it doesn't. Hearing things like "it'll...

Being Polite Is Not So Bad

By Sonia Kaur on January 21, 2017 / 6,057 views

Politeness is one of the most beautiful colour of life. It makes life beautiful. It makes you beautiful as well. Politeness comes with words and with actions. The throw of our words how we speak with others. The language we use with and for others with them and in their absence. Politeness doesn't mean doing buttering. Politeness means speaking or acting with full of love. Politeness is a good...

Couple Of Old Guys Helped Me Out Of Snow Today

By Horkkanyrkki on January 21, 2017 / 1,595 views

I came back from a vacation and my car had been parked for a week. A TON of snow had fell and my car was literally inside a pile of snow, as the parking lot had been plowed around it. Couple of very old gentlemen came to help me dig it out of there in freezing weather. Even had a little shovel with them and they actually pushed the car eventually out of the snow. Took us almost an hour. I felt bad, as a young...

The Face In The Mirror

By Joseph J. Mazzella on January 20, 2017 / 3,998 views

Bend! Push! Lift! Toss! Bend! Push! Lift! Toss! I was slowly shoveling out my driveways, porches, and pathways from five inches of freshly fallen snow. My new snow shovel was working well but my body was feeling its fifty years and my bad back was feeling more like eighty. Still, I had shoveled out from deeper snows than this before, so I kept at it. I breathed in the frosty air and hummed a few songs as I...

A Homeless Man Lay In The Entryway Of Our Church

By Benny on January 17, 2017 / 3,350 views

A homeless man lay in the entryway of our church, reading the newspaper. I sat down next to him and asked if he wanted to join me for the service. 'This is my third Mass today,' he said, 'I'll stay out here. The music, it heals me.' I asked what needed healing. He pulled up his pant cuff & revealed the skin on his legs, which looked like cracked leather, battered...

Calm After The Storm

By Kay Heitsch on January 17, 2017 / 4,770 views

Awe, peace and quiet! The calm after the storm. Yesterday I was enjoying being outside shoveling snow. Then the wind picked up and the freezing rain started to come down. I hurried into the house to find we had no power. The wind was blowing so hard that it blew our big trash can from behind the house out into the driveway. Today the wind has calmed down and the sun has started to shine....

God Is Never Late

By Mark Cookson on January 16, 2017 / 1,946 views

In 1985 I volunteered for an outreach program to be sent out for a year with a biblical research ministry to share with people about God and teach the Word of God. I was sent to Canton, Ohio and during my time there met a woman sitting under a tree reading a book in the park. Like someone once did for me, I shared with her about God's love and how important her life was to Him and invited her to a bible...

A Humble Show

By Bright Baffoe on January 16, 2017 / 1,997 views

In a street accident, a woman tried to help the victims but suddenly a nurse came and said… ‘'Miss, excuse me! I am a nurse and I can do it better. Step back.. I’ve had a course in first aid and I’m trained in giving first aid and CPR.'’ The woman stepped aside and watched the procedure and said, '‘If you need a doctor, I’m just behind...

Just Having A Good Day

By Anonymous on January 13, 2017 / 6,064 views

I'm just sitting here in my room today, listening to music while it rains outside my window, and I can't stop thinking about how happy I am and how great my life is. There's nothing particularly special about it - I'm not rich or famous, I'm not exceptionally talented, and I don't do anything particularly fabulous for a living. But I feel somewhat organized, I have a clean room and a...

FINALLY Have A New Job, And It's All Because I Was Nice To The Valet Guy

By Anonymous on January 12, 2017 / 5,208 views

I've been job hunting for about eight months. A few weeks ago I went to an interview and handed off my car to the valet guy. As I was waiting for the elevator I heard him tell his coworker that he would kill for a coffee, so after my interview I stopped at the cafe in the lobby and grabbed one for him. He was super grateful and asked for my business card. I gave it to him, thinking maybe he wanted to send...

Special Gift From God

The clock is ticking and tomorrow is my special day. I wonder what people will say. Will they greet me or just say hi. Ha-ha as if they all remember my natal day. Oh! One thing I realize as I get little older haha is that we should value our lives and spend it meaningfully. Dream big and set plans . I thank God for helping me to achieve my goal each year. Although...
