Dream Trip To Italy

By Kate on May 21, 2013 / 7,789 views

So my mom and I have been working the same waitress job for 5-6 years now. She had been waitressing years before, but this is recently. Anyway, about… 15 minutes ago this guy she waited on left and told her to take care. Just that. Prior to this she had talked to him about Italy. Her people are from Florence, this and that, and she said she's never been. She's got 8 years of art education and she's working a...

Do What You Can

I was in a rush to get my power bill payment in the mail today. I pulled my car into the post office parking lot, hopped out, and started quickly walking towards the entrance. Then I saw something green on the sidewalk. I looked down and saw a hummingbird laying on the concrete with her wings spread out. She was breathing slowly in and out but not moving otherwise. I squatted down to take a closer look. She appeared...

Never Judge Anyone..... Because U Never Know How Their Life Is & What They're Going Through"

By KOKOB G. on May 14, 2013 / 5,358 views

A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes & went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy's father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor. On seeing him, the dad yelled: "Why did you take all this time to come? Don't you know that my son's life is in danger? Don't you have any sense of responsibility?" The doctor...

Tears

By Joseph J. Mazzella on May 13, 2013 / 8,096 views

It had been a rough week. A steady stream of bad news had battered my spirits and stressed my soul. Everything seemed to be going wrong at once. My fearful, worried mind wouldn't rest and my tired feet kept pacing through my house carrying my body along with them. "If only I could clear my head", I thought to myself. "If only I could calm my heart" I had turned the radio on earlier but its music had failed to...

Hello From Heaven

By Joseph J. Mazzella on May 08, 2013 / 8,197 views

I saw my first butterfly of the Spring today. I was carrying some groceries into my house when suddenly the little lady flew right down in front of my face. She stayed there for a long time gently floating on the invisible breeze. She was so beautiful that my eyes filled with tears and my heart beat with love. Then she departed to dine on some delicious dandelions growing in the meadow behind my house. After she...

A Wet Face And A Warm Heart

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 29, 2013 / 8,243 views

I woke up with a wet face again this morning. Five minutes before my alarm clock was set to go off my little dog, Snoopy jumped on my bed and licked my face until my eyes popped open. I was startled by the slurpy wake up call but didn't have the heart to scold her. Even though my face was wet, my heart was warm with the knowledge that I was loved. There is no better feeling than being loved. Snoopy's morning...

A Simple Dog Walk

By Chris on April 26, 2013 / 10,119 views

It was a beautiful, sunny day so I decided to take my dog, Tater, out for a nice walk. It finally feels like spring now as the sun shines down onto my face and the grass is growing tall and green. Tater gets so excited when I grab her leash as she waits by the door knowing she's going outside to play. As we walked down the street, all I could think about was how Tater reminded me of my childhood. She is so...

The Hand Of God

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 23, 2013 / 9,459 views

I think that most of us go through our days here with our eyes half-closed because we so seldom see the Hand of God working in our lives. It happens in countless ways every single day. Let me give you an example. Two years ago several of the Hawaiian shirts that I love to wear had become worn and threadbare. I really wanted some new ones so I saved any extra money I had for several weeks to pay for them. Finally, I...

A Little Bit Of Heaven

Luci and I were greeted warmly by the Activities Director of the Alzheimer's Facility we visited yesterday! Luci was excited and ready to meet and say 'hello' to every resident who wanted to meet her! She leaned on several of the men's legs as they petted her. Don't know who enjoyed all of the interaction, the residents or Luci! One lady asked me, "Pleazzze, let me keep her?" "I would take good care of...

The First Flower Of Spring

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 16, 2013 / 18,847 views

I smiled when I saw the first flower of Spring the other day. A lone Blue Bonnet had popped its head through the ground and was looking around on a cool, April morning. I wasn't sure what had made it finally decide to end its long, Winter's sleep. Perhaps it had noticed that the ground around it was no longer frozen. Perhaps it had felt the warmth of the sunshine finally pushing the temperatures into the seventies....

I am a 94-year-old woman. I had concluded checking out groceries at our local neighborhood market, and putting the bags in my shopping cart. I turned to slide my credit card and saw the woman who was next in line, sliding her card into the machine. The cashier was telling her that the purchase entries were not her order.

A Hog In A Trough

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 09, 2013 / 8,928 views

When I was a boy my family used to raise hogs during the Summer to keep us fed through the Winter. As I got older it became my job to feed them everyday. My Grandma worked in the kitchen of a Summer camp across the road from us and the director let us have the leftover food scraps for the hogs. I remember lugging the huge pails of slop from the camp's kitchen, down the hill and across the wooden swinging bridge that...
