By A Friend on October 10, 2023 / 3,233 views

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...

So I went and got a coffee this morning, no makeup, hair not done, and this lovely lady came up to me and said wow you’re so pretty and I love your dress. Made me feel nice. Then I dropped my car off for service, and the girl serving me had gorgeous nails, so I said wow your hands and nails are beautiful, she said thank you. I then got an Uber back with a middle aged Asian man, and...

Yesterday I Had An Amazing Act Of Kindness

By A Friend on October 08, 2023 / 3,100 views

Yesterday I had an amazing act of kindness. My daughter has ADHD and is on medication for it. 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...

God's Love In Everything

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 04, 2023 / 3,594 views

Summer was winding down and there was a hint of Autumn in the air. The temperatures were cooler, the air felt drier, and I could already see the first yellow and red leaves on the trees. I had just finished taking my dogs for their morning walk when I noticed something. On my back deck porch was a Maple tree stem. It was growing out of a tiny clump of dirt that we had tracked up on the porch. Its base...

Today my husband and I got caught without our raincoat and umbrellas. You'd think we'd know better living in UK. However on our wet walk home we were offered an umbrella by a random stranger which made our day. We declined as didn't want her to be without in case it was her only one but the offer was so...

I’m with the NDIS and I have just started working with a new support worker. I told him a couple of days ago that I needed to buy some new earrings as I had a pair of my favorites. They were ruby red rosettes. He came today and gave me a small white paper bag. He said it was for me. I felt it, moved the small object around it had no idea of what it could be. I...

By A Friend on September 29, 2023 / 2,406 views

A couple of days ago the landlord sent a plumber out for the third time to try and find the source of a leak, and I always chat to him and treat him with the same friendliness and kindness I hope I treat everyone. As he was leaving he said to me "I have to tell you that you are one of the nicest ladies I have ever met, you are so warm and bubbly. Whatever you are doing, keep doing it". I...

A Little While Ago I Started Leaving Messages For The Pickers On My Grocery Online Orders

By Caryn on September 29, 2023 / 3,305 views

A little while ago I started leaving messages for the pickers on my grocery online orders. They work so hard to make sure we get what we order and I would leave little notes like "Thank you for working so hard to pick my order" and "You are appreciated". I didn't do it for thanks but out of the genuine desire for them to know I appreciated them. This...

The Power Of A Single Kind Word

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 27, 2023 / 4,160 views

I was in my early twenties. I had graduated from college with a degree in Education but still couldn’t find a full time teaching job. I waited each morning then for the phone to ring so I could work as a substitute that day. It wasn’t easy. One day I would be teaching high school science and the next day I would be chasing Kindergartners around a playground. This time I found myself in a local...

I Thank You, Young Man

By A Friend on September 27, 2023 / 2,897 views

Some years back, my husband and our youngest daughter, who was probably in her late thirties at the time, drove me to the train station where I was to travel alone to my destination. I hadn't travelled alone for many a year, so it was then that I revealed to them that I was absolutely scared, because I needed to change trains at a certain station. They did their best to relax me as the train...

By Rose on September 25, 2023 / 3,097 views

I’m 77 years old and planning to walk at least 100 kms during October. To this end I am practicing on a daily basis. We live in Qland but are currently in Adelaide - unfamiliar walking territory for me. Today on my trek I came to a daunting climb. Half way up a beautiful young lady with a Canadian/American accent passed me. As I puffed my way up she said: “Good on you. Keep...

Huge, heartfelt thank you to the lovely older couple shopping behind my partner today. He has been off work ill but gets paid this evening.

The gentleman of the couple patted him on the shoulder, handed him $20 and said "here, have a good...

My husband lost his father unexpectedly last month. His dad loved cars and wanted a Mustang, even when he could barely walk and no longer drive it was still the hot topic. In his eulogy my husband thanked his dad’s work mate that had taken his dad for a cruise in his Supercharged Mustang. Fast forward to the wake and we meet the guy. During our conversation we mention that for his...

It was a warm day today and I was feeling somewhat chubby and blah in a summer dress. When my 3 year old granddaughter arrives and says "You look beautiful in your green 'tutu', Nannie". It made my day. Kids are...
