Tell me you live in a good community without telling me you live in a good community. Today I put a post up on our local Facebook pages asking if anyone had some pumpkin I could buy as I live 45 mins from the local supermarket and I received multiple messages saying they will drop off a box of fruit and vegetables.  So to Kerry and Allison, I thank you all so much. I...

I Went To Grab A Few Items From The Grocery Store

By Jill on April 01, 2024 / 1,426 views

I went to grab a few items from the grocery store only to get to the checkout and none of my cards worked -decline decline decline. I was pretty embarrassed and shocked as I knew I had money in my acct's, no idea why they didn't work. Of course trying to call the bank on a Saturday let alone Easter weekend- no answer. This beautiful lady came to me outside when I was trying to...

Today I Saw A Lady With A Sign Who Needed Some Money

By A Friend on April 01, 2024 / 1,275 views

Today I saw a lady with a sign who needed some money. I don’t normally have cash on me but today I knew I had a $5 note. So as I handed it to her, I asked her name, introduced myself and had a quick chat. The smile on her face from someone seeing her and not just her need, was worth more than any money. I’ve challenged myself to now make sure I have some cash on me...

Nice People Exist

By A Friend on March 28, 2024 / 1,797 views

So today I was cruising with my girlfriend down the freeway and we got backed up in traffic pretty bad so I was impatient as it is, so when we got back into town I swerved at a stop light and swerved back into my lane after seeing a jeep. Our cars bump so we pull into a parking lot and my heart is in my stomach. I walk out to this older guy and go directly to his jeep, I told him I made a...

Karma Is Real

By A Friend on March 27, 2024 / 1,691 views

I was eating at a restaurant and as I looked outside I saw a homeless girl staring at me. I invited her to my table and we enjoyed our meals we ordered together. When I asked for the bill, they sent it $0.00 with "You did well, now it's our turn." Karma is...

A Magnet Of My Mom

By A Friend on March 25, 2024 / 1,824 views

About 10 years after my mom passed, it was around Mother’s Day and everyone was posting pictures of their mother’s on Facebook. As my mom passed before cell phone pics were really a thing, I didn’t have any on my phone and I posted on FB that I was sad that I didn’t have any photos of my mom to post. I don’t know why I didn’t think to take a picture of a picture but,...

It's More Valuable Than Money

By A Friend on March 22, 2024 / 2,158 views

When I was younger, I was at a friend's house and she and her mom were getting ready to get in the car. They had me join and said, we're going to Erin's house. The van was full of groceries. Apparently Erin's family was having huge financial issues and could barely afford food. My friend and I ran the bags of groceries ($100 worth) to the porch, rang the doorbell, and we ran...

Spending Time With Dad

When I was a boy growing up, I looked up to my Dad so much. He was short and stout but full of life. He could fix anything and even though he came home covered in grease from his job as a mechanic, he would still let me sit with him in his big reclining chair in the evenings. By the time he was in his 70's, however, his energy and vitality started to decline. A lifetime of smoking had brought on...

I Stopped At A Target Today

By A Friend on March 20, 2024 / 1,691 views

I stopped at a target today to see if they had something I wanted. When I came out I was slightly upset someone had parked next to my car (I usually park far away to avoid door dings on my car) but when I got to my car that person had left my car keys hanging on my mirror. I didn’t even realize that my keys had fallen out of my pockets. Keep in mind I have a newer sports...

Thank You To The Lovely Lady Shopper Today

Thank you to the lovely lady shopper today. My elderly mother needed a couple of items, was quite distressed, couldn’t find what she needed and was worried her taxi was waiting. This beautiful soul, asked if she was okay, proceeded to take her to the correct aisle and even showed her a cheaper item. You have no idea how much you genuine care and kindness meant to her and...

$200 Under A Rock

By A Friend on March 18, 2024 / 1,556 views

My wife tattoos and when she got home at 11pm she had dropped $200 from her pocket. She must have dropped it when she got out of the car. We live in an apartment in a not nice area. When we went to get breakfast the next morning we saw the $200 under a rock by her car door. Someone had seen it and correctly assumed what happened. They had no idea whose car it was but they made sure it didnt blow...

A Kind Message In My Take-out Order

I used to order from this Chinese restaurant all the time and stopped because my hours got cut back. I ordered again last night after 3 months and the lady left this message on my egg roll bag. She's so sweet, she even remembered how spicy I like my food (very very spicy 😂). I wish I could DoorDash a note back to...

Slow Down And Enjoy Today

I’d entered into another one of those busy periods in life that we all have from time to time. It is those times when in addition to the usual hustle and bustle of life a dozen other things suddenly show up that need done right away as well. This extra long to do list was running through my mind while I was at the local Dollar store picking up a few things we had run out of. After grabbing...

I Missed My Train

By A Friend on March 14, 2024 / 1,815 views

I missed my train to go home for Christmas from university due to a crash near the station. I was completely broke and knew I wouldn't be able to afford another ticket. Life just got on top of me knowing I'd have to spend Christmas alone in my student house and not being about to see my grandad who was in rapidly declining health. I was bawling my eyes out on the platform when a janitor(?) appeared out...

Those Little Sweethearts Made Me Feel Like Nothing Else Mattered

Shout out to a little cutie patootie. I met my 5-year-old daughter at the bus stop this afternoon after school. When the school bus rolled up and the door opened she came out, gasped and yelled: "OMG YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL MY MUMMY! Your dress and make-up is so pretty. You are my beautiful Mumma!" Way to make a girl feel a million bucks kid. When...

My Four-Legged Shadow

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 12, 2024 / 1,438 views

I have discovered that I have a second shadow these days as I go outside. This one, however, has four legs instead of two. It is my daughter’s adopted, black cat: Miss Alice. Every time I go out the door she is waiting on my front porch, meowing to be petted. Then she follows me down the hill to my car sometimes running in front so she can get in my way for even more pets. And when I finally return home...

A Noisy Morning

I was woken up this morning to noisy hedge trimmers from the gardener next door. It wasn't super early (within allowed hours), but as I didn't get a good night sleep, I was a little annoyed. I tried to ignore it and get some more sleep. When I eventually went outside later, I discovered they had trimmed my side of the hedge too. It was a job that was way past it's...
