So my 3 year old daughter and I were on our way to the park

On the way to the park we pass over a small bridge that my daughter calls the troll bridge. This bridge is about 20 feet over a small stream. On this day there were a bunch of angsty teens hanging out both on and under the bridge. Right at the entrance to the bridge is a girl who is doodling in a notebook. She had...

Giving To Yourself

I have been writing for many years now and over that time I have gotten a lot of letters and e-mails of appreciation from people my simple words have touched. One time, though, I got something that surprised me. It was a pre-paid card with $250.00 dollars on it. The person who sent it said she wanted to do something nice for me since my...

I had an emergency surgery. When I woke up, I was unable to walk and had to undergo 4 months of occupational and physical rehab. When I was finally able to return to work, I faced quite a challenge. I had to use a walker at first and then a cane. My office was across a very large building. However, there is a service entrance that...

I saw a sweet moment between residents at work the other day

I work in a memory care facility. Sometimes the residents get upset for no reason. One woman, who is normally incredibly sweet and funny and cheerful, had a bad day last week. She just started crying out of nowhere. Like, full on, breaks-your-heart-to-hear crying. One of my coworkers was sitting with her, trying to...

Last month, my dad passed away after a long and courageous battle with stage IV colon cancer. My mom, who was his primary caretaker, was left with thousands of dollars worth of bills. She had his chemo, radiation, surgery, and hospitalization bills. If you live in the U.S., you KNOW how expensive those bills are. She had to pay for his...

There was an SUV right across from the patio’s time was up, and the meter was flashing time expired in red. I walked over and quickly topped it up, which made it jump back to 30 minutes.

I took my dog to the park and we posted up at a respectful distance from a young man who was already there. After about ten minutes he gets up and moves further away, then starts absolutely wailing. I mean like full body sobs, we all know the kind. I’m trying to mind my business while also wondering if I should...

An Old Japanese Woman Saw My Terrible Obi Job And Fixed It For Me

This was during my study abroad to Japan, and I was wearing a yukata I had bought a week earlier for a summer festival. However, not even three adults and a YouTube video could figure out how the obi (long cloth “belt”) was supposed to be tied. After a day of trying desperately to fix it, and my yukata splaying out in...

An unexpected kind moment

I stopped to fuel up after my three hour drive before doing the last 10 minutes home. A man in 4WD in front also fueled up and cleaned his windshield. As he went to put the bucket back, he said, "Would you like your windshield cleaned too?" I gaped a bit then smiled and said, "Yes please that would be...

I hope my new story reminds you of just how much you are loved and watched over in this life. God bless you always. I lost my Mom to Cancer when she was only 55 years old. I still miss her every single day. I feel bad that she didn’t get to see her grandchildren grow up. I remember once when my young daughter was...

This happened last year in December. I was on my way home, flying, and I had to change terminals, I think I was in Houston. To change terminals I had to get on one of those trains that take people from terminal to terminal, I think they call it the Skyway in Houston. When I got on the train it was pretty full. I had to stand, with...

The kindest thing someone did for me

In 2002, I was in college, working part time and was married with three children. My husband had lost his job the previous year and been out of work for 6 months. Though he’d recently gotten a job, we had very little money to spare. My daughter’s teacher belonged to an organization called PEO and arranged...

My inheritance

My mom worked so hard her entire life. At first it was to get herself through college as a single mom and then it was to try to help me get through med school. About a decade ago we got into our first fight. She was 70 and hadn’t retired. She didn’t enjoy her job and she had always talked about how she wants to travel...

I went to a blood drive held at a local church recently. I arrived early to be first in line because I knew it would take awhile. After answering the questions and getting my iron levels, pulse, and blood pressure checked a young woman walked me to the donor area. While she was getting the stuff ready we made small talk about the up and down...

So I had a break at work and headed to a near supermarket just walking around and I decided to grab a bottle for water and went to check out. There was a lady with maybe 25 items on the cashier belt. The cashier was finishing up with another customer. A guy with a full cart who was behind the woman told me I could go before him. So now im...

What’s something you’d never tell your spouse?

Someone asked online, “What’s something you’d never tell your spouse?” One response stood out and we had to share it here: "My wife has a deep, unyielding love for Chili’s, but her frugal heart usually won’t let her enjoy it. When we go, she orders like she’s in a survival...

I was leaving the hospital after visiting my mom after a surgery (she's fine), when I saw this little boy and his mom. The boy said "I like your 'fit!" (I had to be told what a 'fit was, because I'm an out of touch Millenial). He said it was because I looked like Jack Black in Minecraft! I was...

An emotional girl stopped me in the street and asked for a hug

I just thought of this and wanted to share because I haven’t stopped thinking about it and it’s been over half a year since it happened. I was out with a big group on Halloween in a big city so it was very busy. Streets filled with people (I’m 24 for reference), live streamers out, bars lined around the...
