Thank you to the four people who helped me push the car I was driving out of the intersection it decided to lose all gears in this morning. Your patience and kindness was invaluable. Another friend who was driving by a little later, saw me on side of road and stopped to check I was ok, which was lovely. I was only driving the car as someone had loaned it to me when I had loaned...

Today something really sweet happened at the post office. My little girl was walking around touching and cuddling every teddy there. She spoke to a man getting served beside us. We picked out a book to buy when she turned around to admire a small Dumbo the elephant teddy. She gave it a cuddle and a kiss. I told her we couldn't get it we already just brought a book (possum...

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,...

At the beach this afternoon and saw two kids chasing seagulls screaming. "Sorry!" his mum said to us. We laughed it off. I watched the children playing and they were so full of joy. I went in for a swim and when I came back ten minutes later the surf rescue people were helping their dad. I don’t know what happened in those ten minutes but he was lying on his...

.A story about going above and beyond, not just by the lovely customers involved but also the thrift store itself. A distressed man went in to Vinnie's, he's homeless and sleeps in a tent locally. He found an air mattress in the shop to help give him a little more comfort, but didn't really have enough to purchase it. In no time he had store volunteers offering to pay for...

Today I placed my handbag on the cover of my daughter’s ute tray. We were going to the dog park and I was distracted loading the dogs. I forgot I had left it there. I was convinced I had packed it but when it wasn’t in the car I decided I must have left it at home. Three hours later a lovely man was tooting madly in our driveway. 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...

I was 21 years old sitting in a hospital waiting room trying to keep my fear down. My wife was pregnant but our son was 3 weeks past due and now complications had forced them to do an emergency C-section. I didn’t know if my wife or son was going to survive. 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...

We went into a cafe and I was just about to order when mum was complaining to me about the kids screaming coming from the nearby play equipment. Mum decided she did not want to stay so I got her back on scooter and she took...

My daughter and I were on the receiving end of a colossal act of kindness. She broke her almost brand new school laptop, after spilling soup onto it. I took it to a local repair shop that I had never been too. After chatting to the owner I began to cry. Being a single mum, I was struggling to comprehend how I was going to not only pay for them to check the computer, but also pay for a new...

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...

Across the road from my old high school, on a hill is a water tower. Each year the seniors will sneak up to it one night and write in giant numbers the year of their graduation. This year as I was driving back from the post office I looked up at the water tower and was shocked. There was a giant number 24 on it. That couldn’t be right. When I graduated there was a giant number 84 on it. It couldn’t...

An elder man pulled up and asked if I knew where St Luke's Hospital was located. Being that we were a bit far [from the hospital] I didn't just want to say "make a left here and go straight," so instead I told him I'll use my GPS and you can follow me. I didn't have any active orders so I figured why not? I got in my car and had him follow me. When we arrived at...

31st December, 2023! Night time… My brisk walking around the room was a clear reflection of my anxiety! But the minute and second hands in the wall clock were even faster than me. I looked at the wall clock. It was 10:42 pm. I grumbled to myself, ‘Oops! No, no, no - Only one hour and eighteen minutes left. No way! This time I’ll make it!’ I rushed to the table and grabbed a...
