Today I was shopping with my elderly mother. We were in the bread aisle when another elderly lady asked me the price of the bread she had in her hand. I told her it was $3.70. She said how sad it was how much everything had gone up. She said to me she wouldn't be able to afford it so asked me to put it back on the shelf. That was when my mum went to...

Well done to the group of teenage boys at Aldi today. Each one of them put $20 on the counter for the elderly couple at the register. They were so shocked I thought the lady might faint. All the boys waited and put all their groceries into bags for them. These boys were no older than 16. I'd be proud if they were my...

Whilst deciding what else they could get with their remaining tickets, they overheard two young girls say they didn't...

With a little giggle, all round, I believe we all...

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...

Life Is Worth Living

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...

By Peta on April 10, 2023 / 3,219 views

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...

Her Gratitude Was More Than Enough Payment

By Rachael on April 07, 2023 / 2,877 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...

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.

She has also rescued several dogs over the years and showered them with love and affection. Last year too she started to feed a...

By Annette on April 03, 2023 / 2,805 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...
