Proud Momma Moment Yesterday

By A Friend on April 18, 2023 / 2,611 views

I took my two eldest children ten pin bowling. Once we finished our bowling games I let them have a little play on the arcade games. My son was very fortunate to win the 1000 ticket jackpot on one of the games! My children then redeemed the tickets for some prizes they liked. Whilst deciding what else they could get with their remaining tickets, they overheard two young girls say they didn't...

On my way home from work yesterday, I saw the most lovely thing. It was raining and their were 3 young ladies waiting at traffic lights to cross a busy road. I saw a man come out of a business and give the ladies an umbrella. I put my window down and called out to him, told him he is a sweetheart, he said to tell his wife that! With a little giggle, all round, I believe we all...

Witnessed A Wonderful Act Of Kindness While On A Walk

By Chris on April 12, 2023 / 3,103 views

Yesterday was a beautiful day. While taking my dog on a walk through the neighborhood, it happened to be trash day. I was walking past the home of an elderly man in his late 80s who loves to sit in a chair in his garage during the day when the weather is nice. The garbage truck pulled up to his house and emptied his bin. Afterwards I watched the truck drive to the next house but the...

Once a young boy came home from his hostel after one year. One day he went to the backyard of their house. While strolling around the backyard, his eyes captured some unusual things which he had never noticed one year ago. Some of the fruits were in amazing sizes. He plucked a few and ate them. Then he came back and asked his mom, ‘Mama, when did you get this variety of fruits? They are so juicy and...

Just had one of those moments where I feel like I’ve made it. Just at home with my partner, reading a book with our dog napping on the rug, in our cozy living room whilst it rains outside.  I struggled a lot with my mental health when I was younger. I was bullied by everyone at school from ages 6 - 16. I was severely depressed, anxious, paranoid and struggled making friends etc I also...

A fair few weeks ago a storm came through our neighbourhood. A small, white dog turned up at our front door shaking, wet and muddy. Poor little thing was terrified. We let him in to be comforted by our two little dogs while I tried to contact the owner. After a while I got hold of her. She had been so worried and was so thankful that we'd kept Jack safe. Today, Easter Sunday, this...

I reached over and tapped my card and the relief on this guys face was everything. He asked what he could do and I said to have a happy Easter and...

Her Gratitude Was More Than Enough Payment

By Rachael on April 07, 2023 / 2,443 views

In the supermarket the other day and the woman next to me quietly told the cashier she only had $60 so could she stop there. This lady had cheese, bread, toilet paper, milk, cereal and frozen veggies she'd have needed to put back. I'd already gone through my checkout but hovered a bit so I could pay the remaining amount for her. She teared up and said she'd been having a super tough time...

Hubby and I were out eating lunch yesterday when a lady came in known by all at the cafe and was talking loudly to her daughter on the phone. I said to my hubby she reminds me of mum (who passed 18 months ago). Mum was hard of hearing so she'd talk loudly well that made me smile. Mum used to also known at her local cafe and was always chatting. Unbeknownst to me as we were leaving my...

TANG

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 04, 2023 / 1,762 views

My daughter is such a beautiful, loving, giving soul. Everyday she comes over to my house to help me take care of her two mentally handicapped brothers. I don’t know what I would have done without her all of these years. Her love isn’t limited to just people, though. She has also rescued several dogs over the years and showered them with love and affection. Last year too she started to feed a...

Yesterday Mum And I Were Out Shopping When We Decided To Stop For Lunch

By Annette on April 03, 2023 / 2,322 views

Yesterday mum and I were out shopping when we decided to stop for lunch. Mum struggled to open the store door due to having her walker. Due to the angle of the path I couldn’t help with a very full trolley. Inside was a young boy (who appeared to aged 10 at the most). He jumped up and held the door open for us both. I’m not sure if he was there with his mum or grandmother but we both...

To This Day Her Kindness Brings Tears To My Eyes

By Melinda on April 03, 2023 / 2,765 views

It was from more than 15 years ago and I feel like I’d always been too embarrassed to thank her properly. I hope to share this so that there’ll be more compassion in the office. I was the “idiot” in the office and my manager was exasperated at my inability. I watched discretely from the corner as my manager complained to the CFO about how I wasn’t teachable, and that I was...

Kathleen posted on our community page stating she has some Cadbury Saltanas & Peanut Chocolates she’d like to pay forward for Easter and that her and her daughter would pick out 4 people at the end of the day. With having 4 sons of my own, I asked if I may please be considered. Money’s tough atm. I was one of the lucky ones chosen out of many many people. I was excited,...

I Am In Absolute Shock

By Angelina on March 31, 2023 / 2,497 views

I am in absolute shock. This afternoon I was doing my weekly shop at ALDIs. I was loading my groceries, getting ready to pay. I was using my partners card to pay, not thinking I was going to run into any issues. It was time to pay and the cashier said "enter pin" I froze. I didn’t know my partners pin and he didn’t know either. I placed my groceries to the side, in a...

Don't Worry About It

By A Friend on March 29, 2023 / 2,565 views

This weekend I noticed our 24 year old cat had a nasty looking ingrown claw. I’m currently living with my parents and my mum decided to take her to the emergency vet (1pm on a Saturday the regular one was closed). I stayed home looking after my 1 year old, fully expecting mum to come home minus the cat, at 24 I thought she might have complications with a normally minor thing. Anyway, mum...
