    Yesterday I was struggling to carry groceries and my phone at the same time, and this elderly man noticed me fumbling with everything. He didn’t just hold the door – he actually helped me carry my bags to my car and refused to take any money or thanks🥺🥺. Just said «someone did this for me when I was your age»
    Made my whole week and reminded me that small kindnesses really do matter

    Stranger returned my dropped wallet — with a note: “Nice taste in snacks.”

    I was doing my usual weekly walk with a close friend/mentor and we ran into someone else in the neighborhood who asked what the relation was and he said “ He is like a son to me.” 🥹 With problems and doubt in my life, that made it seem like I’m doing alright

    There is a group of shitty pre-teens in our neighborhood, the other day I saw one of them separate from the group and pick up my garbage can that someone kicked over.

    I work at kindergarten, and the kids I’ve got responsibility for are about 1.5 to 3 years old. One of the little girls, one of the more challenging kids to understand, said to me on Friday «I like you, I love you» while I helped her getting her shoes on. It’s been a heavy week but that comment really made my day.

    I have recently befriended two seagull chicks. They are super adorable and one has become quite tame. Nature never ceases to amaze me.

    A parent that I had previously had disagreements with stopped me at the grocery store to tell me how great a job I did with raising my son.

    NGL, a little old lady at the coffee shop saw me struggling to open a jar of jam, so she came over and did it for me! She then smiled and said, It’s the little things, honey. My whole day was made. 🥺💖

    I had circulation problems on Friday and had to be rushed to the hospital so I couldn’t pick up my daughter. I told hubby to pick her up – and until he arrived, the mother of a girl from my daughter’s class looked after her.

    My goddaughter from whom she has been estranged from myself and her father for 6 years because her mother is toxic got in contact with her father. I’m beyond happy for him. I hope I can see her some time soon too.

    I have seen a really nice couple in Barnes & Noble a few times when I was in there last week they remember but but they remembered my oldest daughter name and every time I’ve ran into them there they have said something good about her to me which makes me feel I did a good job . They are the nicest couple ! I’m tempted to say hey let’s be friends..
