I'm going through chemo for breast cancer and had treatment this week. Got talking to the gentleman in the next chair, we talked about everything, footy, food, family, not being able to work, treatment,struggles we have faced during treatment etc. I mentioned we are going camping and I'd booked booked it. As since being diagnosed in November it's been a whirlwind of treatment...

Brutal Honesty From A Child

By T.J. on March 15, 2023 / 2,384 views

Aging is not the funnest thing in life, but some times it can be really funny! The other day my 4 year old grandson and I were in the kitchen talking, I was leaning one elbow on the counter and kind of facing him at an odd angle. I notice he was just staring at my neck with such a serious look on his face. I said "what?". He asked very seriously "where is your...

A Family Member Was Playing On Xbox Live

By A Friend on March 13, 2023 / 2,157 views

A family member was playing on Xbox live with some friends and some random player in the group that none knew was having mic problems. And it was really messing up the gameplay. The player was broke and couldn’t afford a new one so instead of just kicking this unknown kid, my family member asked them for their address and sent them a brand new headset. This was like 15 years ago and...

Jesus And Me

By Jack on March 10, 2023 / 2,392 views

I HAVE A TESTIMONY It’s been since 2012 that I was healed. For 5 ½ years before that, I limped, I had a cane, a walker, a brace on my lower left leg and had to sit on a pillow, because my tailbone hurt so much. My left leg had also atrophied down to skin and bones. I was taking 29 pills a day. The doctors thought I had MS because of the lesions in my brain, with cysts also in my brain....

Today I Experienced Kindness That Has Restored All My Faith In Humanity!

By Holly on March 10, 2023 / 1,764 views

Today I experienced kindness that has restored all my faith in humanity! Norton Summit in Adelaide, Australia is pitch black at 6am, and my front light died half way up while I was climbing. A fellow cyclist (who I didn’t know) let me ride behind him the whole time so I could see where I was going from his light. I then got a flat tyre coming down. I had to stop and the cyclist rode...

I Volunteer With Some Amazing People

By Gina on March 10, 2023 / 2,120 views

I volunteer with some amazing people. If I told you their acts of kindness it would be a book. However, yesterday my one friend told me she went to the dry cleaners and he told her he was behind and had 900 items to work alone. She said she paused but told him she would give him and hour it turned to 2 and a half. She never took money, she said she learned alot about...

Rainy Day Big Smiles

By Leann Freedom on March 08, 2023 / 2,365 views

We had some rainstorms recently in Southern California. It is a rare occurrence and when it does happen I can’t help to think about those who have no home to go to who have to stay all night and day out in the elements. I was out with my kids and they requested donuts from a local shop that we frequent. Often times there are hungry folks outside so sometimes asking for coffee or a...

The Amazing Thing About Love

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 08, 2023 / 2,412 views

Last year my daughter started feeding a stray, female, black cat that we named Miss Alice. Well since then things have progressed. First two other stray, orange, male cats that we named Garfield and Tang also showed up wanting to be fed. Then the local birds noticed and started flying down to feast on any left over cat food after those three had finished eating. Now my daughter has become like an animated...

I Will Shop There For The Rest Of My Days

By A Friend on March 06, 2023 / 2,403 views

This happened a while ago, but I'll never forget it. My husband had a mental breakdown after being overworked and under appreciated for years. In an instant we lost our only income. We have 3 children. I also suffer mental health issues and so upped my meds and prepared to find work and look after my husband. I was shopping one day and the lovely lady at the...

Took My Toddler Out For A Little Treat At A Local Cafe

By Steve on March 06, 2023 / 2,154 views

Took my toddler out for a little treat at a local cafe. During our meal a gentleman approached us and complimented how well behaved my child was, and how nice it was to see a parent and child engaging with each other rather than on phones / iPads. He said he was a retired school principal and it warmed his heart. He had a nice chat with my toddler and then left. It was really lovely to...

Nail Appointment Surprise

Yesterday I went to my usual nail appointment and went to pay. The lovely Emily informed me that there was no charge as someone I knew had paid for me because she knew that I was having a rough time at work. I cried a tear and then purchased a coffee for Emily just because I...

Emptiness

By Anjali Mohapatra on March 03, 2023 / 2,076 views

It was 8:35 am. I served morning tea to my husband but it was untouched. He was lost in his own world! For half an hour he was watching the small kids playing in the garden. I strolled around the kitchen room, kept the saucepan on the stove, and again back to the living room. He was still watching. It is not new for me, this scene has been continued from the day my children had gone with their kids. I knew...

My Friend Frankie

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 02, 2023 / 2,665 views

When I was a boy my first friend wasn’t another little boy or girl but a bent, worn 80 year old man. It was the early 1970's. We lived 4 miles from town. My two brothers were much older than I was. And the television only got in one channel clearly. I spent most of my time then playing alone outside in the yard and woods near our home. It was only a matter of time then before my exploring led me to...

Doing Something To Make Someone Else Smile Felt So Good

By A Friend on March 01, 2023 / 2,306 views

Tonight, my family and I went out for dinner to celebrate the anniversary of my daughter’s stem cell transplant that cured her of leukaemia. We sat near a table of 4 who had all been drinking and seemed to be having a good time. They high fived my husband as he walked by to pick up our food and fist pumped our girls when they ran past their table. I asked them why they were out and they...

I Am Going Blind, And I Love Books

By Angela on February 27, 2023 / 2,152 views

So I am going blind, and I love books. Initially I bought all my books from my favourite authors from indie publishers, but now that I need the audio I'm having to purchase them on Amazon because if I do that I can get the audio for a few dollars extra and it's cheaper than the audible price. I mentioned this on a fanpage of one of my favourite authors, as people were discussing...

I Had The Most Wonderful Experience With A Taxi Driver Yesterday

By Caryn on February 27, 2023 / 2,289 views

I had the most wonderful experience with a taxi driver yesterday and it really made my day. I use a walking stick and have some mobility challenges and he went out of his way to help me. I was going from my home to a supermarket to grab a couple of things and knew I would not be long in the shop. He said his wife had asked him to pick up a few things to take home so he was happy to turn off the...
