Up the street from my 4-year-old grandson, a boy was visiting his dad who lives with the boys grandparents after separating from his wife. The boy had very few toys and was riding and admiring one of my grandson’s 2 scooters. My grandson, out of the blue, told him he could have it. Even after…

I told Missy today that I needed my nails painted, that the red polish was chipped. She told me as soon as she had the time she would get to it. It made me think about 10 or 11 years ago a friend of hers was dying from cancer. She was at home and it…
My sister is in pain daily, but when she saw the superman shirt I wanted to send to someone who is comforted by the image (a reminder of the beloved son/brother they lost) she offered to turn it into a memorial pillow!
Last night I had to go to Costco to pick up some things. As I checked out I decided to pick up 4 x $10 cash cards. But, how would I decide who would get them?

They have done things from serve food at a local church, to help build community gardens, to educating kids about the importance of eating healthy and how to grow your own garden, to raising awareness and money for breast cancer, to putting together “necessity bags” for the homeless as…
My daughter Brianna is 11 years old and just graduated from elementary school. She’s four years younger than her brother Joseph but always has been like a “big sister” to him because of his Autism. She had an assignment at school to write about something she would change in the world to make it a…
The day of your passing, I was sitting in MedExpress waiting for my X-rays to be put on a disc before I went to work at Costco in Winchester. There was an older couple sitting in the waiting area with me. The wife went to the check-in window and the staff gave her a hard time…
Years ago when my children were 2 years old and 6 months old, I headed to Costco for diapers. I got up to the register put both boxes of diapers on the conveyor belt and opened my purse to retrieve my wallet. To my horror, I had left my wallet at home. I was absolutely…
My husband Jim did a good deed and I’m so proud of him. He really has been trying to be more mindful and kindhearted.
