We've been having a heat wave on the East Coast this summer, along with the rest of the U.S. So the absolute place you wouldn't want to be is sleeping in a hot car! That's what I thought when I saw a woman doing just that. Well, she wasn't asleep at the time, but I surmised that was her plight when I noticed that the inside of the car was piled high with her belongings from passenger seat to...

I’m living in a flood affected area. A lot of people are still recovering and some just surviving. I took my 4yr to the local op shop to pick up some cheap toys and books. We are financially struggling (single mum with disability, no family support) at the checkout, I noticed a lovely person behind us chatting and being kind to my son. She was buying some books and he had noticed a...

We were having brunch in a local cafe attached to a bigger venue. A lovely lady came with a huge bunch of roses and other flowers and said her son had got married yesterday in the attached venue and would we like these roses and flowers. They were absolutely beautiful and we all got to take some home. Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of the whole bunch, this was what I...

God loves us all so much that sometimes He even speaks to us in our dreams in order to wake us up. A few months ago I had watched some old action movie on television where the hero was seeking a great treasure while running from a bunch of evil villains the entire time. After I went to bed that night my mind started to replay parts of that movie in my dreams with me, of course, as the hero. The dreams seemed...

We had a computer repair guy come around to fix my son's computer. He got hacked, locked out, threatened and bribed for money the night before. Minutes after leaving the computer tech calls me to say instead of paying for his services, use the money to buy a good virus protection and back up hard drive for my son. He made our...

Going through the hardest break up with who I thought was the true love of my life (hell...he still is). I hope to look back on this one day and think I dodged a bullet, but for the time being am absolutely shattered/gutted...you name it. Whoever you are - you are an absolute angel.

I realized recently that if I ever have to move again I will need a separate truck just for all the stuff hanging on my walls. I have calendars, old post cards, inspirational sayings, nature scenes, my daughter’s diplomas, and so many pictures hanging on them. There are ones of high school reunions, family reunions, friends, Mom, Dad, Nana, my brothers, and most of all so many of my children. From baby...

Friendliest man I've met in a long time. I was out on break at work today and a man came up to me. Asked me what do I wish for? Then tossed a notebook at me that was filled with pages and pages of wishes. Like 29 pages both sides with an answer from every one he asked. He had been walking around the downtown area all day asking as many as he could the same question. He said it sucks...

I was over at my high school friend's dorm helping her look for her airpods. When we couldn’t find them we went to her roommate's room, and we asked if we could look there to which she agreed. We've been "friends" for 6 years, but I always thought she just tolerated me and my hugs. But as I was going through her trash I peeped a sheet of paper titled things she’s...

I do Instacart and shop for people. Got an order that was fairly small, it was mostly protein drinks, some snacks and a bottle of wine. When I arrived and knocked on the door to get the customers ID info for the alcohol, an old man opened the door and immediately hugged me. He told me his wife is dying of cancer and he can't leave the house to shop. He buys her protein...

My daughter's best friend (we'll call her Beth) and her younger siblings moved in with us after Beth's mom passed away from COVID 2 years ago. We adopted Beth in March as an adult (still working on adopting the siblings, it's not as easy for minors). Beth had already been adopted before, and she has never had a good father figure in her life, so the word "Dad" does not have positive...

I was in Westfield Helensvale queued to buy lunch and had a chat and laugh with two lovely ladies behind me. They were discussing who would pay for lunch and one lady said that, as she’d invited her friend, she would pay. Cheekily, I said she could invite me too. We had a good laugh about it. My turn arrived and I ordered with my card out ready to pay when one of these kind ladies...

The place that I took her prescription told me that they needed one days notice for her medication so they could get it in. I realise that morning that my daughter did not have any medication left so I went to another chemist, hoping that they would be able to help me. They got in contact with...
