One Summer day when I was a little boy my Mom, Dad and brothers were away and my Nana was busy watering her flowers around our house. That left me alone inside with my Mom’s old record player. It had three speeds on it 33 1/3, 45, and 78 revolutions per minute. Each one was designed to play a different type of record. But my childhood curiosity was making me want to see what would happen if I played some...

Very recently someone I was travelling internationally with, left their iPad in the back seat pouch on the plane. One of the cleaning staff for the airline phoned to advise that it was found and would be left at Lost Property. Unfortunately our return flight was well outside the usual Lost Property hours.

About a month ago I injured my knee seriously enough that my mobility has been seriously impeded. My husband left this morning for a (non-negotiable) week long work trip, and knowing that I was struggling a bit he picked a lot of "easy" groceries for our kids and me while he's gone. Y'all, I just opened the fridge to discover that he'd quietly also stocked it up with...

It was a cold, winter’s morning but I didn’t mind. You see, after several days of gray, milky skies that brought us snow, followed by rain, followed by more snow I could see the sky was clear. As I did my morning exercises in my house I noticed the stars in the predawn sky. Then as the darkness fled I could see through my dirty windows that the sky was a brilliant blue. I saw too the glorious,...

I went out and he had my purse and car keys. He had seen...

I just wanted to say thank you to the kind dad yesterday who made the time to stop and chat to my autistic 3 year old who was having a hard time due to the sensory overload. To most he probably just seemed like a naughty child and it’s extremely hard and somewhat embarrassing always getting ‘the look’ from everyone passing by like you’re not doing a good job while your child...

After a long time, though, they brought my boy out healthy and breathing. I felt my fear flee and my heart expand with a joy I had never known...

I was sitting in the car at Bunnings waiting for my hubby and wondered why he was gone for so long, he was just ducking in to grab one thing. I thought, this was a silly mistake to let him go into Bunnings unsupervised. I look towards the entrance and there he is changing someone's tire for them. He’s not one to ever walk past and not offer help. The older gentleman had shared...

The buzzing sound of the alarm clock broke my sleep. I felt a little drowsy and didn't want to get up. I tossed myself on the bed and put the pillow over my face, but nah- nothing worked. The gleaming ray of the sun crossed through my window slit and directly fell upon my pillow. I blinked! Leisurely I got up from the bed and strolled in my bedroom balcony. The view of the busy road from the...
