Given or received, acts of kindness rarely go unnoticed. I normally Don't talk about things I do for someone else, but I doubt it would hurt the world to hear about some of them.

    I ran a race recently and almost cried from disappointment crossing the finish line. However, a few friends have been very supportive and it means the world to me.

    Did you not place as high as you hoped, is that why you were disappointed? Depending on the race you ran, crossing the finish line in its self is a feat. Head up!

    The friends that supported me through the worst parts of my depression. I have very few of them left and they mean the world to me.

    I feel strange talking about the things I do, though. Not sure why. Suffice it to say that I'm a firm believer in "do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

    Guys this isn’t my just my thread it’s all of our thread. Many of you have more experience in life than I, you also know things I can use. Please Don’t hold back dropping some advice in now and then.

    I appreciate your ability to say that out loud not many would. Sometimes we don’t realize the friends that we have until things get bad. Those that ride it out with you and help lead you through it mean the world to me to. So many people have good hearts but are afraid to use them.

    It was a small gesture and it made my day. I was in a shop and there was a gentleman that had quite a few items ahead of me. He took a peak at my two items and let me go ahead of him. We chatted and it was just a really nice exchange. So, today I was in a shop and I looked behind me and did the same for a lady that looked like she was in a hurry with only two items. No big deal, but it was nice.

    All Smiles!

    Handsome!
    A lady that owns the shop near work gave me the longest hug ever when I started crying when I told her we lost just about everything in our home in the flood in February. She's lovely.

    My husband and I went out for dinner Saturday night at a local place and we were laughing really hard about something while waiting for our food. There was an older couple at the next booth and I saw the husband glance at us twice so I apologized for being loud. He chuckled and winked. His wife leaned around the booth and said, "Honey we are here to have fun too, don't you apologize!" and we all just smiled.

    When it came time for the check, the older couple was long gone and they had paid for our meal! So we paid it forward by buying the dinner of two college-aged girls on the other side of us. Made for a nice evening all around!

    I was at a festival this weekend, and I was stopped in some shade for a few minutes. A girl walked by and then came back and put her hand on my shoulder and said, You are really pretty and I just hope you know that! I smiled about that the rest of the day.

    Sometimes I set my garbage bag outside my apartment door until I go out later, and one of my neighbors takes it to the dumpster for me every once in a while.

    This week at the gym, a pretty young lady approached me and said:

    " You look Great! "


    I then replied to her:

    " Is that right? ..... So, how long have they been serving adult beverages at the gym's smoothie bar ?? "

    I spent hours on the phone with @Motorsheen last night finally getting his fitbit to sync.



    Turns out if get really angry and throw it into a lake it doesn't have any problems syncing.

    I forgot my passcode to my apple watch and can’t get back into it. As much as I love spending hours talking to apple CS I don’t want to

    Good stories y’all.

    This one was from around Christmas. I stopped on the side of the interstate and changed a ladies flat tire for her. I rambled on with her in conversation as I was laying on the shoulder. When I was done she had what looked like a few dollar bills rolled up in her hand and then she said “this is all I have please take it, it’s Christmas.” I said “exactly give that to someone In need and I’ll just take a hug” random stranger broke out in tears and hugged me. Was a great day

    Yesterday at work, I went to lunch with the lady who had come to my store for me to train in how to do her job at a different location, and she paid for my lunch. It was very much appreciated since money is incredibly tight right now.

    My 91yr old mom hurt her foot, swollen and unable to walk on it.
    Her next door neighbor has connections at an Orthopedic Hospital and made arrangements and took my mom up there (3hrs) then brought her home.
    I had to stay at Mom's and watch over my handicapped brother.

    I think it was very kind of her neighbor to do so much to help. :)
