I will just call her Angel
Today I really needed, more than anything else, a reminder that there are still kind and thoughtful people in this world… and wouldn’t you know? THIS happened:
Stories of Kindness
It never hurts to be nice!
I learned a long time ago, when any family member had to go to hospital for anything, to make a goody bag for the nurses. So having my dad in the hospital last week, I went and got some healthy snacks and some unhealthy snacks for both the night shift and day shift.
Allowing them to shine
At the start of the new season, my son and his mates realized their basketball team had been split up again. Four boys from the old team had been paired with four new boys, and after the first training session, they realized there were two different levels of ability. As the club they play for hadn’t kept…
From the bottom of my heart
To whoever you are, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. The last few weeks have been bloody rough, and the cherry on the turd cake was when I broke my right arm last week. I have been left pretty useless as my left arm is a flaming idiot.
A lovely surprise
I was at the Post Office a few years ago, around Christmas, and there were so many people trying to send their packages and get their stamps. I got my numbered ticket from the machine and waited, looking at the displays. An older couple came in, and they looked so ill and tired. The lady…
To help us rebuild
I live in rural QLD Australia. We have been in terrible drought for several years. My farm has suffered, my business has suffered.
Mindful compassion
The nicest gift that can be given throughout a day may often come from strangers. Last week, I had a horrid migraine that lasted 5 days. It was pretty horrific, but I had to keep moving and do my best with many routines and appointments.
Cardinals are my special symbol
Today was another yucky day. Upon checking the mail, I found a package with my name on it. That was exciting enough, but seeing the beautiful pillow inside touched me extremely deeply! The person who sent it had asked for my address some time back, saying they had something for me, but I assumed it…
He gave me a big thumbs up!
I was finished putting my groceries in my car yesterday and returned my cart to the cart return area. As I looked around, I saw a lady who was using an electric chair with a basket on the front (most stores have them here for folks who can’t walk well for whatever reason). She was…
The little dog might be hungry
At a freeway off ramp stood a man with a shopping cart. He was painfully thin. In the child seat of the shopping cart was a cute dog with a flowered hat. He would walk back and forth asking for money and talking to the dog, and she would bark in response.
Tia’s Random Acts of Kindness
We received two lovely messages why two of the Random Acts of Kindness we’d given had meant so much.
A beautiful prayer
I recently lost my beloved 17 1/2-year-old dog, Gus. The first time I went for a walk to our usual place since he died, I stopped at one of the trees where I’d put one of Gus’ memorial posters to shed a quiet tear.
