Her Name Was Amy

By Kelly McGuire on January 05, 2016 / 9,608 views

I went to the Chicago Bears game today. We spent $32 total on the train fares, $200 for our tickets, $7 for a hotdog, and $41 at Giordanos after the game. We paid that much money to come to spend a fun day in the city even though it was cold. I feel guilty. We have much more than what we need and we don't even have half of what most people have. The high today was 30 degrees, so naturally I...

The Farmer Who Prayed For Me

By Bluejay on January 04, 2016 / 5,924 views

Early this morning I was involved in a car accident. A fuel truck came into my lane and I swerved to miss it, by doing so my car slid off the road and down into a cow pasture. My car basically fell off a cliff and I tore down the gate and almost hit a cow. As I was getting out of the car (it was pouring rain) I lost my footing and slid into the fence which happened to be electric. It completely knocked the...

To The Girl On The Bus...

By Anon on January 04, 2016 / 5,132 views

Thank you. We see each other everyday, me on my way to work, you on your way home from college, and although we had never talked before, when I fell asleep, you woke me up for my stop, the same stop we both get, so I didn't sleep through till the end of the line. I was having a really bad day. I was sick and I hadn't gotten much sleep. You taking the time to stop at my seat, nudge me and smile at me...

Why Are People The Way They Are?

By Bertha Peka Betham on January 03, 2016 / 6,777 views

Today is the 2nd day of 2016, and this question has always been bugging me every passing year. Why are people the way they are? We are all humans, and we all have different feelings each day depending on what's going on in our lives. I saw these 2 gentlemen at a casino in Las Vegas going at each other over something that was not worth fighting over. I was in Las Vegas to celebrate the New Years. It's...

Respect

By Sonia Kaur on December 29, 2015 / 6,489 views

We want everybody to respect us, do we respect everyone around us??? Answer is a big NO! We don't respect whom we think better than us, we don't respect poor and old people, we don't respect whom we feel less better than us. So how can we earn respect? The easiest way to earn respect is by giving respect. Earning respect might be difficult but not impossible. Don't use bad language,...

Maybe A Detour?

By Sriya Sreeni on December 29, 2015 / 4,467 views

Aah well there can be times in life where all miracles that were meant for us seem pointless. We might feel everything around us as a mere scenario. We all have had times like that. At this point many questions can come to us , like about the incidents that were bittersweet. In the end we ll find out the reason of our temporary void existence . If a wind blows hard on a plant and it is the weak part...

Michelle's Story

By Christopher Meuse on December 29, 2015 / 5,808 views

A true story about the life of a father and his daughter as they journey through denial, lies and pain. A story about how the power of love keeps them strong through moments of weakness and fear. For many years I had a powerful relationship with what I thought was the healthy enjoyment of alcohol. I would find pleasure in the odd bottle of wine each week, thinking that it was a normal part of life....

Freedom: My Soul Mate

By Rich Patt on December 28, 2015 / 5,878 views

Freedom and I have been together 11 years this summer. She came in as a baby in 1998 with two broken wings. Her left wing doesn't open all the way even after surgery, it was broken in 4 places. She's my baby. When Freedom came in she could not stand and both wings were broken. She was emaciated and covered in lice. We made the decision to give her a chance at life, so I took her to the vets office....

Angel Smiles

By Joseph J. Mazzella on December 28, 2015 / 4,736 views

When I was a boy growing up I made my guardian angel work overtime. It still amazes me that I survived it all. I climbed trees and jumped off rocks. I took long walks in the woods and nearly got lost more than once. I sledded down hills in Winter narrowly missing trees. I fell off our family’s wooden swinging bridge and ruptured myself. I rode my bike down hills at break neck speeds with no helmet and...

Shopping For Calendars

By Your Friend on December 28, 2015 / 4,208 views

Every year, usually sometime after boxing day my dad and I go to the calendar store. This year we went on boxing day. We ended up buying 5 calendars. The store had this deal on where you buy 2 calendars and get 1 free. The woman standing behind us was buying 1 calendar. My dad noticing this offered to pay for her calendar. She said no, confused at the kindness shown buy my dad whom she had never met. The woman...

Twas The Day After Christmas

By Kay on December 26, 2015 / 4,313 views

Twas the day after Christmas, and all through the house Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse. The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste at the holiday parties had gone to my waist. When I got on the scales there arose such a number! When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber). I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared;...

Flip Or Philanthropy?

By Lenny Bazemore on December 24, 2015 / 4,615 views

They were my neighbors but so much more. Bill and Janice Henning were like my second parents. I was just five-years old when I met their son Curt. He was my very first friend and we are still close to this day. So when he asked me to buy the house he grew up in, the house across the street from where my Mother still lives, it was tough to say no. I had a beautiful childhood—filled with family,...

Conquer Your Negative Thoughts

By Analie, Den Den, Ayonon on December 24, 2015 / 6,408 views

There's no reason we could let ourselves unworthy. God's always watching how we generate little blessings to the best and proper ways. There once a story of my life. I'm such a person born with a negative mind. How I wish I could live same with others happy lifestyle. When I was a little I'd never felt the true happiness of life. I don't even know how to value myself. I'd...

The Best Christmas Gift

By Joseph J. Mazzella on December 22, 2015 / 4,760 views

The best Christmas gift I ever got was both early and late. My first born child came into this world on December 16th, nine days before Christmas. He was supposed to be a Thanksgiving baby, however, so when my wife went into labor 3 weeks late he had to be delivered by an emergency Caesarean section. My first word when I saw him wasn't even a word but a sigh of relief, love, and joy. My early Christmas...
