Don’t have a photo and this is a delayed post as I recently have had lots of busy days with family , but I was going through a rough week and sold some drawers on marketplace to a local mum. I had a few other enquires and we back and fourth spoke a little and I expressed that I was selling a few things for some essentials for the week ahead stretch until next income and was happy to lower the price if...

I Saw Something Beautiful And Wholesome Today That Stayed With Me

By A Friend on January 06, 2026 / 1,909 views

So an old man was trying to cross the road, slow and nervous, cars kept passing and he stood there. Then this 6 or 7 year old girl ran up to him, held his hand, and looked at the traffic and was waiting, and walked him across like it was the most important job in the world. When they reached the other side, she didn’t wait for praise. She just went back to her mom, smiling and maybe explaining...

Paid For Person Behind Me, Because They Deserved It

By A Friend on January 05, 2026 / 1,818 views

It’s a rainy day and I have nothing to do so I decided I'd go to Starbucks and pay for the person behind me. I searched up Starbucks’s and decided to try a new one I haven’t been to yet because why not. At the intersection right next to it the light turned green but this big truck ahead in the lane next to me wasn’t moving and I wondering why but as my lane moved forward...

Snow Angels!

By A Friend on January 03, 2026 / 1,247 views

The best random act happened to me today!  It's cold, we have a few inches of snow. No one was home and we get a notification that someone is in our yard. They pulled into our driveway and brought up all 3 trash/recycle cans and then just left! Thank you truck...

Possum Story!

By A Friend on January 03, 2026 / 1,216 views

I went outside to clean up the morning after a late-night barbecue at our house with friends. I'd taken the bag out of the trash can before I went to bed, and went outside in the morning to do some cleanup. When I looked down into the trash can, there at the bottom was a single corn cob that had missed the bag somehow. Wrapped completely around it was a sleeping baby possum. Like it...

Group Kindness In Walmart

By A Friend on December 31, 2025 / 2,352 views

While I was doing some shopping, I continuously heard a young child screaming and crying. It was heard throughout the store. When I got to the self check out, the mother was in the lane next to me, child still crying. People were in line, rolling their eyes and shaking their heads at each other. I rang up my purchases, I mentioned to the couple behind me that I had never had children and it must be...

A Little Kindness Goes A Long Way, And It’s So Easy To Do

By A Friend on December 30, 2025 / 2,124 views

I was getting gas and noticed this young girl, maybe 16-17, on the phone struggling to get the gas cap off, almost in tears. I went over and asked if she needed help, and she had tears starting to roll, and said she can’t get the cap off and is almost empty. I got the cap off, and it was a bit tight. Told her to take a few breaths and sit in her car, and filled her tank on my...

This Person Made Us Cry

By Brian on December 29, 2025 / 2,023 views

So it’s raining, we are moving Friday, we are stressed, I’ve gotten soaked loading and unloading stuff three times today, and we had to go to Topanga Mall late in the day on freakin’ Christmas Eve. Then my wife couldn’t find her wallet. Air Tag showed it at the mall, but alas… no one could find it. Then the air tag showed it at our...

The Lovely Man Who Helped Me Fill My Tires With Air

By A Friend on December 27, 2025 / 2,028 views

When I was 16, I was on my way to school when the “low tire pressure” light turned on in my car. Now, at 24, putting air in my tires feels like the easiest thing in the world, but at 16, I’d never learned how to. I didn’t know how to figure out how much air I already had, how much I needed, how to set the machine, or the correct way to hold the nozzle. There was a car behind...

The Joy We Make

By Joseph J. Mazzella on December 26, 2025 / 2,423 views

With the holidays almost over and the worst of Winter on its way, I hope my new story brings a little warmth to your day. God bless you always. I had never been a big fan of January. By the time it rolled around the holidays were over. The Christmas decorations had been taken down. All the left-overs and extra cookies had been eaten. And all we had left was a month of short days, long...

A Random Dad Helped Me Back Out Of A Parking Lot When I Was Struggling

By A Friend on December 26, 2025 / 1,828 views

Happened last week. I had my car parked in my campus parking lot, which usually gets pretty full by the time I’m leaving. What was unusual that day was a police car parked behind mine, with no one around. I don’t even know why they were there. Anyways I tried backing out a few times as best as I could but that just wouldn’t work and I panicked. I contemplated looking for the...

A Cold Thursday Night After Work, And He Was More Worried About Me!

By A Friend on December 22, 2025 / 1,610 views

So a couple days ago I was leaving work, it’s cold in Philly you know, and there was a person laying on the steam grates for warmth. My heart jumped because it hurts to see this reality when I’m casually walking to my car back to go home with all my needs met. So I walked by him intending on getting to my car, but stopped myself and went back to him because I had an extra pair of winter...

I’m A Nurse. Stop Treating Your Working Body Like A Rental. You Are Living In Someone Else’s Dream Right Now

By ArtThreadNomad on December 22, 2025 / 2,090 views

I just clocked out of a brutal 13-hour shift. I’m exhausted, I smell like sanitizer, and my feet are throbbing. On my way home, I stopped for gas and heard a guy complaining loudly that he "had to" go to the gym later. He was literally groaning about having to lift weights. And it took everything in me not to scream. Two hours ago, I held the hand of a woman...

Starbucks With An Elderly Couple On A Random Wednesday Afternoon

By A Friend on December 19, 2025 / 2,489 views

I was at Target and decided to get Starbucks. I had just come from a heavy therapy session, hadn't eaten all day, and my To Do list of errands was just beginning. I needed sugar, caffeine, and something out of the ordinary as a reward and motivator for surviving. There was an elderly couple, probably in their late 70s, in front of me. It was no longer the pandemic but I was about 6 feet from...

The Gift Of Being Loved

By Joseph J. Mazzella on December 18, 2025 / 2,249 views

Here is my new Christmas story. I hope you enjoy it. God bless you always. I came across an old Christmas picture the other day. It is from the early 1970's. It is of my brother and me. We are standing there dressed in ugly plaid pants. I am wearing my Snoopy sweatshirt while my brother is in a red sweater. We both have weird haircuts. My Mom actually used a bowl over our heads to get...

How An Unexpected Act Of Kindness Saved Christmas

By A Friend on December 17, 2025 / 2,246 views

I found this group yesterday, and reading the posts brought up an old, but sweet memory. Since we are approaching Christmas, I thought I'd share it. For as long as I can remember my family was financially struggling. The year I turned 9 was rough. I think probably the worst. Leading up to Christmas, while my parents tried to hide how stressed they were, I heard my Mom crying at night...
