I keep thinking about something I did for a stranger

A few months ago, I was walking home when I saw an elderly man struggling with two heavy bags outside a grocery store. He looked exhausted. I asked if he needed help, and he hesitated before handing me one of the bags. His house was almost a mile away. We walked together, and somewhere along the way he told...

Random act of Kindness at Waffle House an instant mood lift

2,986 views | Posted by tealpeace on August 28, 2026

Pretty simple, really. Had a normal day at work, with a few minor interactions that tilted the mood meter down a little. Stopped at Waffle House for dinner (having a craving for those hash browns!) and took a booth at one end away from the few others in there. The last to finish, I go up to pay just after a man at the counter paid...

A girl's kind gesture through a marketplace listing

So it was a random Friday night, I was browsing Marketplace listings for electronics and came across a listing for a used bluetooth speaker - but the text below upset me... The guy was basically selling this speaker which was a gift from his father, but he had bills to pay and just had no way of coming up with money. I could feel...

Kevin from Goodwill

Years ago, I was in a tumultuous relationship living in Portland, Oregon, far from my home in Southern California. I found myself in a tough situation. I was seven months pregnant and working full time while my husband stayed at home. His job was to help us find a cheaper place to live since our rent was $1,200 and my paycheck was...

I spent a few minutes learning sign language to say thank you

There’s a restaurant in my city my family and I regularly go to that employs people who are hard of hearing or non speaking, and I’ve always been really touched by that. I went back yesterday and, before going, decided to spend a few minutes learning some basic sign language so I could sign “thank you” and...

Two random acts of kindness in less than ten minutes

As a shift supervisor for a retail drug store chain this random act of kindness isn’t new. However I’ve never seen two acts happen in such a short period of time. For context there is a high school a few blocks away from my store. There’s also a fast food restaurant that we share our parking lot with. It’s...

This just happened today. The mom doesn’t know it, but I needed a pick me up and she gave it to me. I’m a shift supervisor for a retail drug store chain. When I’m at the register I will usually tell customers of certain deals their items have. I see this gesture of goodwill as a way of...

A Legacy of Love

I hope this new story about my Aunt Charlotte brings a little joy to your day. God bless you always. I caught myself the other day. I had just sat down at my computer keyboard to write a letter to my Aunt Charlotte when I remembered that she was no longer with us. After a hundred years of spreading laughter and love down...

Love Thy Neighbor

My Mexican neighbors hardly speak English… They always have the boys over. Even with the language barrier, we can get along. Well, they’re all drinking. I went to get pizza for myself… the grand idea to get them a pizza too came across me. It’s only $5. I did just...

To the South African man who helped me at the service station - thank you

Yesterday I was driving back from Port Lympne Safari Park to my AirBNB (28 mile journey), and the tyre pressure light came up on my ID3 dashboard around 4 miles in. I started stressing. Stopped at the next services to charge my car and use my inflator, but couldn't get it to work... It was deflating the tyre and I couldn't figure out...

10 seconds that made my day, and then another 10 seconds that made my day and someone else's

1st smile: I'm leaving my physical therapy appointment, and I was wearing a silly tank top that says "Built in the Sixties, Original and Unrestored. Some Parts Still in Working Order" I pass the front desk where a woman was waiting near it in a wheelchair. She happily said "Yay for the sixties!" I gave her...

I will never forget you or what you did for us

I am writing to share my deepest appreciation for a beautiful stranger who was travelling on the Virgin Australia flight from Launceston to Melbourne on Sunday 23rd august 10.15am. I don’t know her name, but I am hoping that by sharing this message, she may somehow be identified and know just how much her kindness meant to...

A pigeon distraction

This afternoon, I noticed a young child (maybe 3 years old) struggling to listen to her mum's requests at my local shopping centre. I stopped and had a chat with her about listening to mum but I soon realised that it was the wrong track to take, and with the help of a pigeon that was walking in the shopping centre, I was able...

Just going to toss this out here today. I would like to encourage other people to let the people who make a difference in your life know exactly what they mean to you. ​ Really, you never know how much of a profoundly positive impact that could have on someone. I decided to tell one of my healthcare providers what I thought of...

Kindness I received from a (normally) mean cat

1,456 views | Posted by A friend on September 11, 2026

This is a story from a couple decades ago. I was 16, hopeless, and living in an abusive home. One day I was home alone after school, with the only other creature in the house being Pebbles, my family's jerk of a cat. She was nasty, liked hiding under things and leaping out to claw and bite passing ankles. She hissed, she attacked if you...

Today something happened that made me feel so good I just had to share it. A grocery store here in Florida has a club you sign up for and get rewards and other nice things. I had a reward for a free bunch of flowers. Picked out the bouquet and went through the line. When I finished paying I handed the woman behind me...

16 years ago, I took a terrifying 1% chance. To my 18-year-old self: thank you

1,047 views | Posted by A friend on September 14, 2026

I was 18, a total computer nerd, and had literally never asked a girl out in my life. I was thrift shopping with my mom when I saw the cashier, and she was hands down the most beautiful person I’d ever seen. My biggest fear was rejection. I knew I had a 99% chance of getting crushed right in front of my own mom, but a...

A Loving “Coincidence”

A recent storm had caused a tree to fall knocking down power lines across a road here. The guy holding the stop sign said it would be four hours before it was cleared. That meant all traffic had to be rerouted down a narrow, back country road that would take me 15 miles out of my way. Still, I decided to try it. As I started down it I was...

I work at a regional sub chain as a shift lead and just try to do my best, my goal in life is to make people smile and help where I can. It's why I work in customer service, specifically with food. If there is one thing all people love, it is food. So of course we get many people who order catering, which when they...
