My mother in law, who is now 96, loves the book sales our library holds twice a year.

By A Friend on September 17, 2025 / 7,763 views

A Compliment That Still Warms My Heart To This Day

By A Friend on September 16, 2025 / 7,945 views

This is such a minor thing but it meant so much to me. This happened when I was around 14 and in a really bad spot in my life (teenage hormones mixed with a bad home life, diagnosed depression and anxiety and not having close friends left me quite isolated). For some context, I live in Sweden and we have woodworking classes as a school curricular, I had spent so much time and put so much effort into...

A Pair Of Jumper Cables

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 15, 2025 / 8,214 views

It was early Spring. I was driving home after dropping my son off at the sheltered workshop where he works a few days a week. I was enjoying the sight of the trees full of light, green leaves. I was smiling at the sun shining in the clear sky and the wild flowers growing along the side of the road. And I was thanking God for a blessed and beautiful day. It was then, though, that I saw them. Standing in front...

My Coworker Who Came In Last November And Completely Changed My Work Atmosphere

By A Friend on September 12, 2025 / 9,481 views

I had a falling out with my best girlfriends in December. By the time 2025 came around, I was always miserable. No one at work liked to talk to me, my other coworker is a bit moody and mad we do the same job and I make more. I was one of four 20-somethings in a corporate enviornment, which can get pretty lonely. I was struggling to keep up with my job because I was also new-er and thrown into it...

By Sam on September 04, 2025 / 11,278 views

Today at the grocery store, my little boy was absolutely exhausted cranky fighting sleep and melting down right at the checkout line.

By A Friend on September 04, 2025 / 11,107 views

I was standing at the checkout and realized I was a few dollars short for the total bill. I started to panic and thought about putting some items back. Then a lady standing behind me quietly swiped her card and said don’t worry I got it. The amount was small, but in that moment it felt like the whole universe gave me a hug. Sometimes strangers remind you how simple and...

Bread For The Soul

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 02, 2025 / 10,988 views

I was a little boy sitting in church on a hard, wooden pew, trying to sit still and not squirm while listening to the sermon. Most of it went over my young mind each week, but there always came a point when we recited the Lord’s prayer. And there was a part of it that I understood very clearly: “Give us this day our daily bread.” That part spoke to me because each Sunday afternoon my beloved...

By Jay on September 02, 2025 / 10,361 views

This cat was left abandoned at my work place. I work on a tugboat and our dock is right next to a park where people dump a lot of stray animals. She made her way over and has found a good life over here with us. She’ll only let 3 people out of all us near her, but I’m so happy I was one of those chosen that she loves.

I was having a terrible day, and as a treat to try and salvage my day, I decided to order the most delicious (and expensive) carrot cake from a place like 10 miles from me.
