I’d received a bit of a bonus from work and decided I deserved a few beers. I dropped by the drive-thru bottle shop on the way home and was served by a nice young guy, probably a student I’d say, who I had a bit of a chat with. When he returned with my order…
One morning I stopped at the petrol station to put some fuel into my car. When I went in to pay, the lady serving me told me that she had left her peppermint tea bags at home. After I left the petrol station, I went home, got some peppermint tea bags from my cupboard and…
At the supermarket there was an elderly lady trying to reach an item from up high so I offered to get it for her. She explained she just wanted to read the ingredients, her husband has cancer and he is on a new diet to help him kick it she told me. We got into a…
I finally got my morning tea idea organised at work. I brought in a heap of chocolate biscuits, drew smiley faces on yellow balloons along with your info and some cards. Staff loved it. I tried to do this anonymously but people had me all figured out. The biscuits and kindness cards had gone by…
I used to work in a nursing home and loved bedtime when I’d go around and tuck the ladies and gentlemen in and kiss them goodnight on the cheek or forehead. I’ll never forget one beautiful lady gasp with a tear in her eye: “Thank you so much my angel! Nobody’s done that since my…
I was traveling alone with my son with special needs yesterday. In a restaurant in the Orlando airport, he had a meltdown. We did our best to continue with our lunch, although he refused to eat his meal. He is a terrific little boy! He was just tired and did not want to leave Disney (do…
My Mom is in a nursing home for rehabilitation. The nurse told me that residents go to the beauty shop and no body comes to see how beautiful they are. If one can volunteer in a nursing home or hospice, or an elderly homebound adult and tell them they are loved and never give up on…
One day I was walking down the street and saw the parking ticket man coming. I noticed a number of cars whose parking meter had expired, so I put a $1 coin into each of them I walked past to prevent them from getting a parking ticket. – Stacey
I know a very kind man. He works every day as a handyman and makes just enough money to survive. I’ve taken him grocery shopping and he buys food for his cats and dog and bird food for his bird feeders. When I asked him what he ate he said that he cooked for his…
Whenever maintenance comes into my apartment to fix something I always make sure the area that they are going to be working in is comfortable. For instance I will put a lamp in the area to give them plenty of light. One day he, Bob, had to fix a drawer in the kitchen. Underneath the draw…
When I was in the 5th grade, I missed the bus and had to walk to school by myself. My first time and I was terrified, even though it was probably only 8 blocks from the school. So I did what any kid would probably do in my situation… I coaxed my old dog, who…
I remember a student of mine mentioned he was playing a gig at a church function, but needed a decent bass to play. I said hey, let’s stop at my place and you can use my Bass and amp. His dad said to me after, “Thank-you, but how could you trust a 17 year old…
