Stranded on the highway
My son had a nail in his tire repaired recently, it left him stranded on the highway today when the repair failed! A wonderful DOT vehicle in TN stopped, repaired his tire, and told him to have a nice day!

Not a big thing
This was by no means a big thing, but I can’t explain how much it made my day. It was about a year ago. I had a final for my hardest class (also the teacher was a huge douche, so that didn’t help). The final was a group presentation. It was unbelievably frustrating and took…
I called the bank to change my address
I remember when I moved back to Alabama from Tampa, FL., I called the bank to change my address. When I told them who I was, the person I was speaking with said, “Oh, you’re the one who sends the beautiful cards! We are going to miss you! We fight over who gets your cards!”
Compassion in the hospital
I ended up in the MCU at my local hospital after becoming badly depressed from a breakup and financial problems. First really serious relationship. She had a child that I became close to and everything. I didn’t know how to handle it. I wasn’t suicidal but I was basically allowing my life to implode on…
A kid down the street stole my car
A kid that lives down the street from me stole my new car 2 months after I got it. He threw everything in the car away, including my granddaughter’s car seat and my daughter’s CD case that held 100 CD’s. He took the change, necklaces hanging from the mirror etc… At the time, he was on…
Happy Christmas from McDonalds!
This happened over 20 years ago. My husband was in grad school and our son was 3. I was driving a couple of hours each way to work. One night I saw a woman whose car was stopped on the side of the interstate with the hazards on. I stopped to see if there was…
Husband and wife
I once heard a story about a husband and wife who had been at each other’s throats for years. The couple were so nasty to one another that they had nothing but hatred in their hearts and wanted to get a divorce.
A birthday gift from a stranger
Just got my hair done for my birthday. When I went to pay, I was told the lovely lady I had a chat with had paid the $230 for me!
Pump that kindness!
A girl in my sorority once ran across campus to bring me a battery for my insulin pump because I was in lab. Today she pulled out a handful of batteries and said she carries them around just in case I need one and it’s honestly the nicest thing anyone’s ever done for me. –…
I was returning my shopping cart
I was finished putting my groceries in my car and was returning my cart. 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 at her car about to…
A healing hug
I spread positivity wherever I go. I was speaking to a patient last week at a cancer fundraiser in the chemo ward and he asked if I worked at the hospital. I told him I am also having treatment. He said, “you look so well, and you are so happy!”
High school formal
I remember in my last year of high school. One of the popular boys asked the chubbiest, most unpopular girl (that sounds mean but we weren’t a bullying year level so she wasn’t bullied) to the formal in front of the whole class!!!
