I Hope We All Do Random Acts Of Kindness Like This. Increases Our Hope In Humanity

By A Friend on August 12, 2023 / 3,335 views

I was going home from Raidurg in metro and started complaining to my friends about how hungry I was. We were joking about it and I even pointed out someone's juice bottle in their bag and joked about simply stealing it, they weren't looking at me so I was safe anyway. A minute later this nice lady sitting beside us just asks us if we're hungry. We look at each other's faces and I...

On Tuesday I found out that my mum who lives on her own had food poisoning on the weekend and she couldn’t eat anything for few days. She was feeling weak and helpless as she is isolated since I moved interstate at the end of last year. My heart ached to hear how vulnerable she was and I wished I could care or cook for her something that will nourish her back to health. I’m so...

Today, My Mom And I Left For A Girls Trip

By Caitlin on August 10, 2023 / 2,775 views

Today, my mom and I left for a girls trip. Before the plane set off, I noticed that a young woman across the aisle was drawing on her iPad and it looked so realistic! I thought she was so talented and every now and again through the flight, I glanced over to see her progress! I decided to make a card to say how talented I thought she was and how I loved to be creative! I wrote and colored...

Showing Us That We Are Loved

It was late July and except for a few fluffy, white clouds the sky was a brilliant blue. The sun was shining on the green grass giving it a golden hue. Birds were busy flying to and from their nests feeding their rapidly growing babies. The air was full of the smell of fresh cut grass and the scent of sweet Clover. In the meadow behind my house I could see deer grazing by the edge of the woods. Our black cat,...

I Am Gobsmacked

Friends, I have to share this with you! I was just on the receiving end of a lovely act of kindness! Making small talk with the grocery delivery driver today, and commented on my luck at finding a particularly rare flavour of sofdrink I love. I was extolling it’s virtues while lamenting the fact that, while it wasn’t cheap, I had to treat myself, and he said that was one of his favourite...

It's Only A Little Thing But Meant A Lot To Me

By Nina on August 07, 2023 / 2,828 views

It's only a little thing but meant a lot to me. My 81 year old neighbor has been in hospital and is now in rehabilitation to try and get her strong enough to be somewhat independent. She loves cannoli from our local Italian restaurant - today I called in and ordered a serve to take to her. When I ordered it the staff member looked quizzically at me and I said "yes I often buy it...

To The Lady At Tullamarine Airport

By Trish on August 07, 2023 / 2,545 views

I want to say a HUGE thank you to the lady at Tullamarine Airport on Saturday night around 10pm who let me use her phone to ring my phone that I had left in the toilets near Gate 51 thirty minutes earlier. She didn't know me from a bar of soap but handed me her phone to ring whilst she went to the toilet - and offered it when she saw how distressed I was. Also a huge thank you to the...

Gentler Lights

By Joseph J. Mazzella on August 03, 2023 / 2,065 views

I knew it was going to be a bad fireworks season this year when I saw so many different tents selling them to the public. I was right too. The bangs and booms started before the first of July and lasted way past the fourth. I have never been a big fan of fireworks since I was a boy. It was then that a local fair set off a huge show near our house and I saw how the noise terrified our dogs. I sat on the floor...

I Will Pay It Forward

By Kristy on August 03, 2023 / 3,073 views

Both my cards declined tonight when I went to pay for a few groceries - I’d forgotten about a new direct debit I’d set up that was taking money out today to pay a bill. I looked for cash in my wallet but I didn’t have enough so I asked the cashier to put a few things back. A man behind me in the queue told the cashier to keep scanning and he would pay for everything. I...

By Kate on July 31, 2023 / 2,745 views

Yesterday while out driving with my Aunty, she said she felt her car was pulling to the left. We stopped at her local farm shop and as soon as we parked a lovely young man approached her window. He told her that her rear left tyre was very flat. He had been driving behind us and followed up into the carpark. He then whipped out a portable tyre pump and proceeded to put air in the tyre so...

Something Pretty Amazing Happened Today At Work

By Lucia on July 29, 2023 / 2,979 views

I don’t have any pictures or videos but something pretty amazing happened today at work. I work at a Starbucks inside a target and we have some regulars. One of them was talking to my other coworker about her applying for other jobs. I think they’re both in their forties. He asked her how the job search was going and she said she’d finished her resume but needed someone...

You ran right over to me. It was actually very endearing to see somebody care that much about a stranger to lend a helping hand. We've all lost our wallets before, but when you lose your wallet in the sand at the beach, that's a whole different level of lost your wallet. So there I am kicking around the sand in Old Orchard Beach for about a half hour with my phone flashlight (oh...

What Is Enough

By Joseph J. Mazzella on July 27, 2023 / 3,299 views

Ever since I was a boy I have been an avid reader. I have read and been touched by so many books from so many authors. I think it may be one of the reasons I started writing myself. I even enjoy hearing stories about other authors, because often they can teach us a lot as well. I heard one such story the other day that really made me stop and think. The two famous authors, Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph...

I Felt Special All Day

Needed some fuel as my car was low so put in $10 worth of petrol. Waited in queue and when l went to pay the girl said nothing owing. I stood there unsure until this young man turned and said I've paid it "have a lovely day". I caught up to him outside and said thank you that's so sweet. He just smiled, got into his car and drove off. I...

Her Kindness Meant A Lot

An employee asked me to fill out a survey because they were having a competition between stores. She didn't realize how much I appreciated her. I had moved from one country to another and she made shopping there super easy. She helped with a transitional acclimation period. She was a an anchor for a bit. She was filing me in on processes and changes. (Moved from overseas back to my home...
