I saw a young man hitchhiking this week. It was bitterly cold and the road he was on was many miles away from anything. I stopped. I warned him not to harm me, or he would be sorry, LOL. Anyway, he was going near where I was headed. We had to drive for about 20…
I was in a store and saw a woman crying. As I walked passed her I thought to myself, boy I bet she could use a hug. In that very moment I turned back to the woman and offered her a hug. She was shocked and surprised but thankfully took my hug. I held her in…
. After our daughter was killed in a car accident, a couple left a note at the site of the accident where a small memorial was created by her friends. Knowing we didn’t drive down that street, our daughter’s husband brought the note to us. The note expressed their concern for us and included their…
. When I was in college I didn’t receive any tuition help from my parents. This was not my mom’s choice, but she would send $5 here and there that I knew she took from her own tiny amount she got from my dad to get her hair done etc. It always seemed to arrive…
Yesterday, a homeless man helped ME! Life has been quite challenging lately, yet I’m so fully aware of all the pain others have. As I was at the stop light, I read his sign and desperately looked for something I could give him. As I was already crying, I knew there was nothing I could…

I had a doctors appointment and being early I stopped at the local coffee shop. Getting out of my vehicle a car pulled in right beside me. He looked over and smiled and said hi and wished me a good day, I said and you as well. He commented he wasn’t sure of that. He…
. My son helps me place zip lock bags under car windshield wipers. In them, they have a smiley rock & poem, book mark and a blank home made card with a blank, stamped envelope to encourage the recipient to send someone some postal message. One day, it was raining but we put the zip…
I was at the gas station getting some gas and noticed a young boy looking in all the trash barrels and taking out cans. He looked like he and his family did not have much money, and it seemed like he was collecting the cans to get the deposit money for food or some other…
. Tomorrow I turn 55 but I have already given myself the best gift … I accomplished my goal of doing 55 Random Acts of Kindness in the 55 days before my 55th birthday! It was such fun and I really enjoyed seeing the smiles on people’s faces. I am on a pension so I…
I saw a parking warden about to write a fine for a car in a disabled bay (with a disabled pass), whose ticket was just running out. I said “that’s a shame you’re fining them, I’m sure they will be out soon.” The warden replied “you going to pay for another ticket then?? hahaha!”. I…
