The Last Rotisserie Chicken And A Heartwarming Moment

By A Friend on January 20, 2026 / 1,694 views

I was at Sam’s club today (never again will I choose to go on a Saturday haha) with the intention of getting a rotisserie chicken and like two other items. I pull up to the chicken area and see a line of people and no chickens. I hear it’ll be another ten minutes so I get in the line. First I was happy to see peoples respecting the line. But as the chickens came out it became clear it...

Neighbor Is Quietly Kind To People Waiting For The Bus

By Elite_meimei on January 19, 2026 / 1,915 views

Today is very cold and frosty with clear skies. I took an early morning walk and as I was returning home I saw my neighbor a long way ahead also finishing a walk with her dog. She went inside and then came back out without her dog but with a towel. We live right next to the neighborhood bus stop and she popped into the shelter. She left the bus stop and went back inside her house before I was close...

A Car Accident And The Loveliness Of People Who Stopped To Help

By Jen on January 16, 2026 / 1,706 views

We were able to help out at a car accident and the loveliness of people who stopped to help the young woman was amazing. One fellow even got his blower out to clear the glass off the road. People were stopping traffic. I was blessed to hold the woman's hand and talk to her waiting for the ambulance. She was getting married 3 days later and was quite distressed...

My 4 Year Old Daughter Went Hungry 2 Days In A Row, To Protect Her Best Friend!

By A Friend on January 15, 2026 / 1,593 views

My 4-year-old came home hungry two days in a row, which was unusual. The first day I didn’t question it — she’s tossed half-eaten lunches before. On day two, I dug a little deeper and asked why she kept throwing her lunch out. She told me she threw away her sunbutter and jelly sandwich because she didn’t want her friend to get sick. We had just switched to a new...

I Love My Mom

By Kite on January 15, 2026 / 1,509 views

We’ve had this Minecraft chicken in our bathroom mirror for like a decade, never moved, got used to seeing him in there. A week ago or so my mom thought it was finally time for him to go, but when she tried to take him out she said it felt wrong and that he belonged there. She said he makes her happy every time she sees him. His wings used to be down but she put them up...

Found A Little Girl’s Wallet Yesterday. Didn’t Expect This

By De-secops on January 14, 2026 / 1,899 views

Yesterday, I was walking home and spotted a wallet on the sidewalk. Opened it out of curiosity, and inside were photos of a little girl I didn’t know, some drawings, and a note that said: “If found, please help me smile today.” I managed to track down the owner (there wasn’t an ID, but there was a library card and a school name written on one of the drawings) -- a single dad...

What You Came Here To Do

By Joseph J. Mazzella on January 13, 2026 / 1,939 views

I was a young man in my early twenties. I had just graduated college and had a wife and new baby son. I was looking for work but only had a degree in English. For some reason that didn’t translate well into job opportunities back then. This day I was interviewing for a salesman job with a jewelry company. The man was explaining how I would be traveling to grocery stores, setting up a table, and spending...

Just Wanted To Share A Little Story This Morning

By A Friend on January 12, 2026 / 2,104 views

Last night, my brother and I were on our way home. It was late and pitch black outside. Both of us are night owls. Well, I evidently drove over something that wasn't visible in the dark. Maybe a loose nail or something like that. The road I was driving on really needs a lot of work. It's full of potholes. I heard this loud bang followed by my car jolting to the side. So I came to...

Neighborhood Kid Offering Snow Shoveling Services, Unprepared For Weather

By A Friend on January 10, 2026 / 1,909 views

Had a young man, early teens knock on my door and offer to shovel for 10 bucks. I was excited to take him up on it because it's the first time I had any kid show up. I told him just to shovel the walkway (10 mins) and not the full sidewalk or driveway because I wanted him to be able to hit up more houses. It's such a great experience for kids to be brave, he was all by himself, I...

My Dad Waking Me Up At 2am To Give Me Pizza Because He Made Pizza

By A Friend on January 09, 2026 / 1,625 views

It was so cute, he very gently knocked on my door and I opened it and he was like "Are you hungry sweetie, do you want some pizza? Mom told me to wait until morning because you were asleep but I thought you might be hungry" and then handed me some pizza. He was very gentle and quiet because he knew I was half asleep. My mom works overnight and she gets home at like 1:30 in the...

Small Gesture At The Grocery Store Made My Whole Week

By A Friend on January 08, 2026 / 2,172 views

I was at the grocery store yesterday, juggling my toddler who was having a meltdown, trying to unload my cart at checkout, and realized I'd forgotten my reusable bags in the car. I was pretty frazzled. The woman behind me in line noticed and without saying anything, she started helping me put my groceries on the conveyor belt while I tried to calm my daughter down. Then when I mentioned the...

My Therapist Got Me Chocolate For My Birthday Because Of One Throwaway Comment

By A Friend on January 07, 2026 / 1,627 views

My therapist got me a (ridiculous) amount of chocolate for my birthday because she remembered ONE throwaway comment from months ago. I carry chocolate with me at all times because of the effects it has on mood, my original prospective career was in neuroscience and this stuff really interested me. I nerded out a tiny bit over the reactions that happen in one of our sessions a while...

Warts And All

By Joseph J. Mazzella on January 07, 2026 / 1,792 views

Memory is a funny thing. I often can’t remember what I did yesterday but suddenly a memory long forgotten from almost 40 years ago will pop back into my head. This one happened when I was a young dad in my early 20's struggling to earn enough to support my family. I had been working the late shift at a local restaurant and was getting ready to mop the floors after the doors were closed. It was only...

Don’t have a photo and this is a delayed post as I recently have had lots of busy days with family , but I was going through a rough week and sold some drawers on marketplace to a local mum.

I Saw Something Beautiful And Wholesome Today That Stayed With Me

By A Friend on January 06, 2026 / 1,764 views

So an old man was trying to cross the road, slow and nervous, cars kept passing and he stood there. Then this 6 or 7 year old girl ran up to him, held his hand, and looked at the traffic and was waiting, and walked him across like it was the most important job in the world. When they reached the other side, she didn’t wait for praise. She just went back to her mom, smiling and maybe explaining...

Paid For Person Behind Me, Because They Deserved It

By A Friend on January 05, 2026 / 1,688 views

It’s a rainy day and I have nothing to do so I decided I'd go to Starbucks and pay for the person behind me. I searched up Starbucks’s and decided to try a new one I haven’t been to yet because why not. At the intersection right next to it the light turned green but this big truck ahead in the lane next to me wasn’t moving and I wondering why but as my lane moved forward...

The best random act happened to me today!  It's cold, we have a few inches of snow. No one was home and we get a notification that someone is in our yard. They pulled into our driveway and brought up all 3 trash/recycle cans and then just left! Thank you truck...
