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...

But as I'm leaving I walk outside and a lovely guy moves over in the chair offering me a seat. We get talking and his offered me a lift home as his wife was coming to pick him...

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. 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...

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...

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...

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. He needed something and we found what money we could, only to find the price had just gone up. He was short and couldn't make the purchase. 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...

I would like to thank the driver who took me to a friend’s house a couple of weeks ago - not for the drive, but for the conversation and one question. After covering a number of topics around equality, quality of life, fairness and the like, he asked "how would you sum up your life?" My instinctive answer was that I have been so lucky - in work, relationships, health and...

Did a shop once we arrived to cook at the motel the wedding guests were staying in. Dinner on night 1, for all the kids, was a joint effort by a few families.. sausages in bread and some salad. Easy. Until I remembered I'd forgotten to buy tomato sauce. Someone had a relish and was saying its ok they can just have this with their snags... I felt sick to my...

We took our cousin with autism to a convention, and he made sustained, appropriate eye contact for the first time in his life - with a cosplayer wearing full black contacts. We have a cousin with autism, he is pretty high-functioning but he has many noticeable "autistic" traits, the most observable of which is his inability/unwillingness to make "normal" eye...

I visited my doctor the other day and had to be put on a medication for the first time. In spite of living a healthy lifestyle my blood pressure was still a bit higher than it should be. The doctor explained that stiffening blood vessels were just part of getting older. I knew it was the natural progression of life and I didn’t resent it too much. It did make me wish, though, that I could go back to my...

A huge thank you to a beautiful couple who stopped and helped my husband and I change our very flat tire! We were on vacation and we weren't able to change the tire ourselves (we are in our mid 70's now). Thank you for your kindness Lincoln and Jackie, who were also on vacation. We actually prayed that God would send someone to help us as we could not get roadside...
