My 4 year old son accidentally started a donut economy by being kind

2,713 views | Posted by A friend on June 1, 2026

A little kindness goes a long way. We were sitting in the Dunkin drive thru around 6:30 this evening. (You hush. Mama needs her coffee. I don’t care what time it is.) The young lady at the window seemed exhausted and frazzled. My youngest son said, “Mom, will you tell her I love her?” I passed on his...

He quietly told them to get her everything she needed

My dad was at the eye doctor getting his eyes checked, and while waiting to be seen overheard a young woman having a discussion with the optician regarding the glasses she needed versus what insurance would cover (very, very little) and she couldn't afford most of it. When they called my dad back to see the doctor, he quietly...

A Simple Interaction while Shopping Opened My Eyes

2,691 views | Posted by A friend on June 4, 2026

My significant other and I were shopping and trying to figure out what wine, and how much we wanted to spend on it for a recipe. There was a senior gentleman near me and I made some silly comment to him about it and asked him what he thought. At first, he just looked kind of shocked, and then his whole face just lit up! He smiled...

Came across a guy stuck in the ditch. Husband decided to stop without hesitation

I was just the driver in this scenario. Husband, 3 kids, and I were on our way home when we came across someone who had slid off the road in the rain. It's a road that only gets a handful of cars passing an hour. Immediately my husband asked if I minded pulling over so he could offer help. Dude had just missed a...

I hope my new story here brings back wonderful memories of your own loved ones now in Heaven. God bless you always. For many years now I have tried to make a quicker version of my Nana’s homemade spaghetti sauce. And I have finally realized that there can be no shortcuts to success because no matter how many times I try, it...

Faith in humanity restored

This happened in Los Angeles. Yesterday while running errands in the next city over, I inadvertently emptied the contents of my bag onto the street. Didn’t realize it until I was already almost home. I started tracking the airtag in my wallet and saw it moving around town, meaning someone had picked it up. I...

The reason why my wife and I run across every crosswalk

2,524 views | Posted by A friend on June 5, 2026

We were house sitting for my boss one year in their really cute walkable neighborhood. We liked going for walks to the downtown area of this neighborhood which was only a few blocks away but across a highway. For some reason, the first day that we crossed the highway we decided to run across. I suppose because we didn't know...

The Angel in Each of Us

2,465 views | Posted by Joseph J. Mazzella on June 11, 2026

A woman wrote me recently and asked me if I believe in angels. I answered: “Yes I do. I see them all the time. You just have to know how to look for them.” Let me give you an example. A few years ago during a bad patch of weather in the middle of winter I found myself sitting in my car in the parking lot waiting for my...

A small interaction with my neighbor completely made my morning and reminded me why community matters

2,462 views | Posted by Emily on June 1, 2026

I was walking outside earlier today feeling a bit overwhelmed and just stuck in my own head about all the things I need to get done. I probably looked visibly stressed out or distracted while walking down the street, completely oblivious to my surroundings. Out of nowhere, one of my neighbors who was out watering their garden...

Today is the one-year anniversary of my wife's passing

2,429 views | Posted by Sunny Skyz on June 7, 2026

Grief has a way of showing up when we least expect it. Sometimes, so does comfort. On the one-year anniversary of his wife's passing, a man accidentally spilled his water while walking into his shop. The shape it left behind felt like a message he needed to see that day. "Today is the one-year anniversary of my...

Tow truck driver in NYC escorted me through a tough intersection

2,365 views | Posted by Calliope719 on June 6, 2026

Long story short, I was traveling to NYC and trying to catch a ferry to make it in time for a funeral. I was traveling about 600 miles to get there and between horrible weather and the travel I was completely exhausted by the time I got into the city. Missed my ferry (by 16 minutes) and had to go around. I was trying to...

I had a flat tire on the side of a busy highway with no shoulder in a pouring rainstorm

I saw a car pull over and the driver get out and walk back to me. I had already jacked the car up and was in the process of removing the wheel. The driver of the car was not wearing any rain gear and insisted that he help me change the tire. At first I refused but he continued to insist and said that his wife had told...

Restocked my towns completely empty community pantry

2,327 views | Posted by A friend on June 8, 2026

The little free pantry in my town was completely bare, and today I spent over 100 dollars on groceries and restocked it completely. We got canned goods, some kids stuff, baby foods, pasta, snacks, apple juice, everything we could think of. It made me feel so amazing, and the best part was as I was walking out I noticed...

Shout out to the wonderful person who delivered the package to the wrong apartment

2,325 views | Posted by A friend on June 15, 2026

So I came home from work tonight after finishing my shift and after dropping my coworker off at his residence because I have a car and he doesn't. At my apartment, I see a package. I didn't order any packages to be shipped to me for anything. I saw the package wasn't for me and which apartment unit to deliver it to. I...

Hold the door open for somebody the next time you go out

In 1990, I went to a conference with a new friend/colleague. We were walking around the venue trying to find the room for our next session. A worker came around the corner pushing a cart full of chairs, heading for the room behind us. I got out of the way, but my friend went over to the room and held the door open for the worker. My gast was...

My daughter makes me paintings

I work in the trades so sometimes I have to leave home for weeks or months at a time. My daughter and my wife always make me little paintings like these, and my daughter helps me pack my bags and says "take these with you daddy so we will always be with you and you will always remember us!" I hang them in...

It really does not take a lot to be remembered forever by people if you're kind

2,058 views | Posted by A friend on June 16, 2026

About a month ago I went to my local Miniso to pick up a gift for my little sister for her birthday. I got her a blind box and some tube of these rainbow sour stripes. As I was paying for it, the girl at the register mentioned to me that she'd been meaning to try them forever, but just hadn't gotten around to it. So, I grabbed...

Complete strangers helped save my dog's life

I was walking my sweet little dog in a public park when she was attacked by another dog. I won't get into specifics but she was badly hurt. I freaked out, started screaming, didn't know what to do. Then people gently started approaching to see if we were okay, and someone brought us some blankets and some water. A car came...

At Just the Right Moment

1,724 views | Posted by A friend on June 20, 2026

That day, the rain was falling heavily. The sky was dark, everything seemed grey, and there was a certain heaviness in the air. It made me think about how sometimes the world only needs a little more color, warmth, and human kindness. Earlier that morning, around 6:30, I had gone swimming. When I got off the train, I was rushing...

I hope this new story of mine reminds you to always do what you can to make this world a better place. God bless you always. It was a hot summer’s afternoon several years ago. I was sitting at my kitchen table addressing a letter when I saw a stray dog wander into my backyard. He was a reddish mix of several breeds...
