I Heard A Beautiful Story Today At My Local Bank

By A Friend on April 05, 2024 / 3,368 views

I heard a beautiful story today at my local bank. An elderly gentleman was depositing a nice sum of money into someone's account. He proceeded to tell the teller that 3 years ago he had a massive heart attack. A young lady - a stranger (19yrs old) revived him. She saved his life! He spoke of her so highly and said how much of a good person she was.....  and today was her...

The Impact Was Far Greater Than I Suspect You Realize

By A Friend on April 04, 2024 / 2,909 views

I was having dinner with a couple of girlfriends this evening at a Vietnamese restaurant. Food, as always, was delicious. And my two besties, as always, were great company. You were another patron, from a different group sitting nearby. As I stood up to leave, you came over and complimented me on my outfit and style. Today hasn't been a great day for me for a variety of...

Sometimes This World Is A Beautiful Place

By Kat on April 03, 2024 / 3,032 views

Sometimes this world is a beautiful place. At the shops my daughter made a purchase at Kmart, no problems, then we went to Target and at the checkout realised she lost $20 obviously at Kmart checkout. On the way back to Kmart to see if someone handed it in (yes, wishful thinking) my daughter saw a gentleman drop his ATM card and she gave it back to him. He said thanks and walked...

Two Black Cat Beanie Babies

By A Friend on April 03, 2024 / 2,773 views

One time when I was a kid, I was at a Fun Land. I saw a claw machine that had two black cat beanie babies. I've always loved black cats and so I tried to get them, but I couldn't get them. I was spending all my money trying to get the kitties but just couldn't do it. One of the women who worked there approached me and asked me what I was trying to get. I told her and to my...

Who Do Birds Sing?

It was a wonderfully warm day for March here in the mountains of my home. It was already warm by the time the sun slowly rose over the mountains and everywhere you could feel hints of the Spring to come. I saw the first dandelions and daffodils blooming through the grass. The air had lost it’s cold winter chill. Buds had appeared on the limbs of my Maple tree. And my ears were blessed with a glorious...

I Am Truly Blessed To Live In Such An Amazing Community

By Kristy on April 01, 2024 / 2,614 views

Tell me you live in a good community without telling me you live in a good community. Today I put a post up on our local Facebook pages asking if anyone had some pumpkin I could buy as I live 45 mins from the local supermarket and I received multiple messages saying they will drop off a box of fruit and vegetables.  So to Kerry and Allison, I thank you all so much. I...

I Went To Grab A Few Items From The Grocery Store

By Jill on April 01, 2024 / 2,624 views

I went to grab a few items from the grocery store only to get to the checkout and none of my cards worked -decline decline decline. I was pretty embarrassed and shocked as I knew I had money in my acct's, no idea why they didn't work. Of course trying to call the bank on a Saturday let alone Easter weekend- no answer. This beautiful lady came to me outside when I was trying to...

Today I Saw A Lady With A Sign Who Needed Some Money

By A Friend on April 01, 2024 / 2,574 views

Today I saw a lady with a sign who needed some money. I don’t normally have cash on me but today I knew I had a $5 note. So as I handed it to her, I asked her name, introduced myself and had a quick chat. The smile on her face from someone seeing her and not just her need, was worth more than any money. I’ve challenged myself to now make sure I have some cash on me...

Nice People Exist

By A Friend on March 28, 2024 / 3,052 views

So today I was cruising with my girlfriend down the freeway and we got backed up in traffic pretty bad so I was impatient as it is, so when we got back into town I swerved at a stop light and swerved back into my lane after seeing a jeep. Our cars bump so we pull into a parking lot and my heart is in my stomach. I walk out to this older guy and go directly to his jeep, I told him I made a...

Karma Is Real

By A Friend on March 27, 2024 / 2,997 views

I was eating at a restaurant and as I looked outside I saw a homeless girl staring at me. I invited her to my table and we enjoyed our meals we ordered together. When I asked for the bill, they sent it $0.00 with "You did well, now it's our turn." Karma is...

A Magnet Of My Mom

By A Friend on March 25, 2024 / 3,328 views

About 10 years after my mom passed, it was around Mother’s Day and everyone was posting pictures of their mother’s on Facebook. As my mom passed before cell phone pics were really a thing, I didn’t have any on my phone and I posted on FB that I was sad that I didn’t have any photos of my mom to post. I don’t know why I didn’t think to take a picture of a picture but,...

It's More Valuable Than Money

By A Friend on March 22, 2024 / 3,517 views

When I was younger, I was at a friend's house and she and her mom were getting ready to get in the car. They had me join and said, we're going to Erin's house. The van was full of groceries. Apparently Erin's family was having huge financial issues and could barely afford food. My friend and I ran the bags of groceries ($100 worth) to the porch, rang the doorbell, and we ran...

Spending Time With Dad

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 21, 2024 / 3,950 views

When I was a boy growing up, I looked up to my Dad so much. He was short and stout but full of life. He could fix anything and even though he came home covered in grease from his job as a mechanic, he would still let me sit with him in his big reclining chair in the evenings. By the time he was in his 70's, however, his energy and vitality started to decline. A lifetime of smoking had brought on...

I Stopped At A Target Today

By A Friend on March 20, 2024 / 2,786 views

I stopped at a target today to see if they had something I wanted. When I came out I was slightly upset someone had parked next to my car (I usually park far away to avoid door dings on my car) but when I got to my car that person had left my car keys hanging on my mirror. I didn’t even realize that my keys had fallen out of my pockets. Keep in mind I have a newer sports...

Thank you to the lovely lady shopper today. My elderly mother needed a couple of items, was quite distressed, couldn’t find what she needed and was worried her taxi was waiting. This beautiful soul, asked if she was okay, proceeded to take her to the correct aisle and even showed her a cheaper item. You have no idea how much you genuine care and kindness meant to her and...

$200 Under A Rock

By A Friend on March 18, 2024 / 2,476 views

My wife tattoos and when she got home at 11pm she had dropped $200 from her pocket. She must have dropped it when she got out of the car. We live in an apartment in a not nice area. When we went to get breakfast the next morning we saw the $200 under a rock by her car door. Someone had seen it and correctly assumed what happened. They had no idea whose car it was but they made sure it didnt blow...

A Kind Message In My Take-out Order

By A Friend on March 18, 2024 / 2,680 views

I used to order from this Chinese restaurant all the time and stopped because my hours got cut back. I ordered again last night after 3 months and the lady left this message on my egg roll bag. She's so sweet, she even remembered how spicy I like my food (very very spicy 😂). I wish I could DoorDash a note back to...
