Jan 29, 2012 We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment but it is transient. It is a little parenthesis in eternity. If we share caring, lightheartedness, and love, we will create abundance and joy for each other. And then this moment will be worthwhile. --Deepak Chopra "Today, I harvested over 100 oranges from a tree on my college campus using a picker. I started giving them away only to be treated to beautiful smiles! The rest I donated to my local homeless shelter." -- thjazz [ share your story >> ] You can also contribute comments on each story!

My Children Lift A Heavy Heart February 3, 2012 - Posted by smilingdaisy My son, daughter, and I have been trying to write to people in our family and friends who are going through difficult times.  So, recently we decided to make personal note cards for this purpose.  My children sat down immediately and wrote to my brother with cancer, my sister with a sick husband, and an elderly friend living in a nursing center.   I was so proud of them for being so thoughtful! Then, my son went out of the room and I heard a lot of whispering between my daughter and him.  Well, my sister was over and had mentioned that a very close friend of hers (an elderly lady battling breast cancer) was having a birthday.  Knowing that she loves angels, he and my daughter found a beautiful picture of an angel online, they printed it out, and he made her a gorgeous birthday card to cheer her day.     The next day she called him and told him that her day had started out very tough.  Then, when she received his card, it completely changed her entire day!  She couldn't thank him enough.  I was so proud of him and of my daughter.  It just proves that when we take an extra few minutes out of our day to let someone know we are thinking of him/her, it can make all the difference in the world!  It changed that sweet, and very sick lady's entire perspective on her birthday!   Add/View Comment >> About Newsletter Kindness Daily is an email that delivers today's featured story from HelpOthers.org.
