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...

Last week my boss asked me to go over some paperwork for a project, to which I said, I will make it a fun weekend activity to read through it with my son. For context, my wife and I have set a goal to read him 1000 books in 2024. We joked that the paperwork should count as 10 books, we chuckled and moved on. Today, I came in to work to find a couple books and this note with a couple books...

My son is a disability care worker. This morning he rang me to help out. His car had broken down in the middle of a busy intersection. In the back was one of his clients. He told me that an elderly gentleman had helped him push the car but it was slow going. Then, out of nowhere four men ran up to help. All unknown to each other. They managed to get the car to the...

It’s funny how something can happen to you that you file away in the back of your heart and mind only to figure out what it was trying to teach you many years later. That is what happened to me today when I thought back on an old memory. I was a teenager visiting my friend’s home and he showed me two pairs of boxing gloves he had just gotten. Being boys we decided to give them a try with...

A few days ago, I posted on my local buy and sell page that I needed a bike for my daughter for her upcoming school triathlon. A lovely gentleman replied to my post, saying that he had one, so I asked if we could come and have a look at it. So my daughter and I arrived at his house the next day. He’d pumped up the tires and made sure everything was in excellent working order,...

I experienced the most kindest, wonderful people the other day I feel truly humbled. I collapsed while crossing the road with my 9 month old baby early Sunday afternoon. The number of people who raced over and out of homes, to comfort my baby, comfort me and keep me calm. Brought umbrellas to shield me from the sun, brought ice packs and bottles of water, called an ambulance, kept me awake and with...

"Nice guys finish last!" I have heard that phrase literally hundreds of times over the years. There was even a few times when I believed it myself. But if I ever need a reminder of just how false that line is then I only need to remember what happened to me recently. It was a cold, overcast, gray and drizzly day. I had just finished taking my son to the sheltered workshop where...

Like many this weekend we made the treak to Sydney to see Taylor Swift after only getting tickets on Thursday. I got what I could and they were actually a few rows and seat apart, which meant I would be seperated from my 7 year old, well she turned 8 today! We made plans to boost her confidence at sitting a bit away from me and had back up after back up if we got seperated. No...

I (31 Female) dropped out of school more times than I can remember. I finished undergrad last year and found a masters program that was tailored to exactly what I want to a T. I applied to this school twice in undergrad and got rejected. This has been the school of my dreams since I was a child, I grew up around it, supported the teams since I was a kid and always drove by it wanted to go...

If you’ve ever stepped in and paid for a stranger’s groceries/food items, I just want you to know the deep gratitude that person felt for your generosity. I was on the receiving end of a beautiful stranger’s kindness today, after becoming a blubbering mess due to the trifecta of less than ideal results from the specialist, a hangy kid and a lower than ideal bank...

When I was a little boy growing up my Mom, Dad, brothers and I lived in my Nana’s old house. It was surrounded by four huge vegetable gardens. And around the house were planted so many flowers. It was so beautiful there in the Spring and Summer. That wasn’t all, though. On the back porch Nana had dozens of potted plants hanging on hooks. She watered them, talked to them and nurtured them. And in...

After losing my two 12 year old puppies Harry Houdini and Buster within 3 weeks of each other I was talking with a customer at my cafe Red Rascals I told her I was closing the cafe in a couple of weeks as I’m very tired working 55-70 hours a week. She asked me what I was going to do. I responded with the first thing I will do is go and sit on a beach by myself and fish for a week or...

I'm at a music festival with a group of people with disabilities and in our search for shade we ended up behind the main stage. Good sound but lacking view. A lovely festival goer saw us and took it upon themselves to set us up with a new spot with a view of the stage. They got security to save a shady spot for us and help move everything. There are some wonderful people in the...

Thank you to the lovely Dad who was dining with his daughter at Papa Gino Lygon St Carlton today and paid for my teenage daughter and her friends lunch. They were both so surprised and appreciative of this kind gesture. It made their day and made them think about paying it forward to others when they can. Thank...

It has been another long, rough winter here in the mountains of my home. High winds, heavy snows, arctic cold, and drenching rains have all hit us, taking their toll on people, power lines, and even the trees around here. And today as I looked at the broken branches littering my daughter’s yard it brought back memories from another rough winter several years ago. A foot of snow had fallen and...
