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…

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…
