Just a quick story, a few years back my partner and I had his son a the park and I decided to bring out the kites I had stashed in my trunk. Just thought it would be fun for the kid. Then we get his son going and were just watching on the side and my partner (35y/o) tells me he's never flown a kite before. He had a extremely...

Here is my new story. I hope it reminds you of who you really are. God bless you always. When I was a teenager I used to lift weights in the morning, then jog two and a half miles to the local swimming pool and spend the whole afternoon swimming. Well last night I slept crooked and woke up with my back hurting and twisted...

A customer apologized for overreacting and hugged me

This actually happened to me a while ago, but it's something I think about often, and it's been especially on my mind tonight, so I really wanted to share it. It starts out a little rocky, but I promise, it has a happy ending. When I was working alone at a small laundromat, an elderly man came in and tried to request a...

My daughter gave me the most wonderful birthday present this year. She took 3 pictures of her and her two brothers when they were just babies. Then she sent away to a place that printed them on 3 large refrigerator magnets. Now each time I open the freezer to get some ice cubes I get to see the 3 beautiful faces of my babies smiling at...

So within the last couple weeks, my wife of 10 years told me she wants to separate and it's been very hard. I've had a rough couple of days and on my way home from work today I stopped by the grocery store. As I was heading to checkout, a man stopped me and out of nowhere started to talk to me. I forget how it...

A little patient I cared for last month came back today for a check-up. When I entered the room, she ran up to me with a drawing she had made of us together — me with my scrubs and her holding a stethoscope. She said, “I made you a nurse superhero!” 🥹🥹🥹🥹 I nearly cried right...

'You must have dropped this' a.k.a. a little help with the pretense of dignity

While I'm not wealthy, I'm finally in not-constantly-panicking financial shape and occasionally able to help people. Today I was at the bank, noticed the customer next to me was having some difficulties... had been overdrawn, was depositing a money order, distressed that she couldn't get any of that money for several...

A stranger on the train let me stay at her house overnight

Around 2 years ago, when I was travelling home from London, I was sat on the train which was delayed. I was starting to get worried about missing my connecting train as it was the last train of the night back to my town. The train was busy and full so a random woman sat next to me and we started chatting about the delay. I mentioned I was...

My sweet 80-something year old neighbor called me earlier today, unfortunately I didn't reach it in time so she texted "I've hurt myself and can't walk, will you please come and help?" My thoughts immediately went to her falling or something, so I yelled for my boyfriend and we ran.. 💨 When we...

Caught in the Claws

Frequently we go to a shopping mall with the view of the mighty pacific ocean. A half empty mall that contains many good memories of my childhood. My son with special needs loves this mall and asks to go here often. I bring him to his favorite place and then go with my little girl to explore the fun shops and kid friendly places...

Growing Up Little

Here is my new story. It is for anyone who has ever felt little and afraid. I hope you enjoy it. God bless you always. When I was 4 years old my parents entered me in Kindergarten. Because I was born on September 29th they were given the option of letting me enter early or wait a whole extra year. I was a good reader and...

I love my MIL and Pecan pie. I promise those two things are connected

I've been married for 12 years and my MIL is the sweetest person. I've always complained that its expected for the in law relationship to just automatically be toxic. I could go on for awhile about all the kind things she does for me (and the family as a whole). So side not I love pecan pie, always have. Unfortunately my...

Dr. Brown's Made My Year

My child is autistic and has an extremely limited diet. They also refuse to drink out of any cup except the one pictured. Dr. Brown's recently changed their manufacturing process, and the lids to these cups took on a rougher, more frosted looking appearance as opposed to the shiny finish my child is used to seeing, so my...

Fixed a kid’s broken toy today and it weirdly made my day

1,185 views | Posted by A friend on November 3, 2025

My neighbor's little kid (maybe 5 or 6) came to the gate this afternoon with a broken plastic robot. One leg had snapped off and he looked ready to cry. I didn't have glue or tools, just random junk in a drawer, so I grabbed a paperclip and some tape and tried to make it stand again. It looked stupid but somehow worked the...

Three Things

1,099 views | Posted by Kualaco on October 29, 2025

Sometimes we all need a pick-me-up. One thing I like to do, when I’m out taking a walk, is to challenge myself to look for three things in my environment: something surprising, something beautiful, and something kind. It gives me a sense of accomplishment once I check off everything on the list. A...

I just finished this year's Halloween rocks

I posted about a month ago about how I have been painting rocks for Halloween and leaving them out in public for people to find because I saw that this year someone else had done the same. I wasn't sure if this year I was going to get them done in time and considered passing the torch on to the mysterious stranger who had also painted...
