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

3,064 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...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

A pigeon distraction

2,365 views | Posted by Jennifer on September 8, 2026

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...

Kindness I received from a (normally) mean cat

2,148 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...

I was waiting for my pharmacy to open, but then decided to nominate my nurse for a local award

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...

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

1,776 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...

Kind man with a cane

Years ago I was homeless on the streets in the Pacific Northwest. I was married at the time, young and in love. Daily life was a struggle and we were both artist longing to do more art in life. Living with the day to day struggle homelessness brings we did not have the supplies we needed to create the art we loved. We...

A Customer Made My Day

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...

The End of Summer

I saw my first sign of the end of summer here today. As I walked underneath my Maple tree I saw the first few leaves had already changed from green to red and fallen to the ground. It reminded me of how fast this summer has flown by and how beautiful it has been. When I was a boy I hated this time of the year. It meant soon I...

My teacher made me cry out of joy

I'm crying in the school restroom as I'm typing this. My mom got me my favorite rice with tofu for lunch, and I was getting pretty hungry and excited to eat it after fifth period. I grabbed my lunch, put it in the microwave, and as I was taking it out, I accidentally dropped my lunchbox onto one of the...

Feeling so good right now and just have to share my happiness!

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...

This arrived in the post today. It’s from an internet friend. She’s one of those amazing people that can do everything….like international grade athlete on one hand, able to make quilts so beautiful they should be behind glass in a museum on the other. Runs a business, long happy marriage, has incredible high...

Saved a bird, cried

My hubs called me out to the pool where a tiny bird was barely treading water. I got him out and kept him upright and warm in my hands for probably 30 while he calmed and dried out, eyes still closed. He finally fluffed out his wings and opened his eyes so I took him over to a bush and set him under it. He seemed to settle in so I...

A Loving “Coincidence”

1,061 views | Posted by Joseph J. Mazzella on September 10, 2026

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...

A stranger offers a ride to a stressed Grandma

Leaving a big swimming carnival at Sydney Olympic Park today, I was stressed about getting my two grandsons and all our backpacks, to the bus in time, to catch a train at Strathfield. I spotted a "taxi" (a bit like when cartoon characters see a live chicken imagining it to be a roast chicken). I was stressed and saw this...
