comments (5) | email this | print | permalink A Day Full Of Blessings--posted by Mums, on Jul 31, 2012 Some days are just so full of blessings you don't know what to do! Today was one of those. My neighbor needed to avoid a utility shut-off, so I helped her round up the money to cover it. It was mutually beneficial and not really a favor but she appreciated the help. (I bought some stuff from her that she had no use for but I would have probably purchased anyway.) When I got home I found a wet $20 bill plastered to the ground in the street. Another friend had coupons and rewards and treated me to a good movie and ... comments (16) | email this | print | permalink Hands Like Sandpaper--posted by cf, on Sep 18, 2012
comments (26) | email this | print | permalink Found on the NYC Subway--posted by HP, on May 11, 2013 Pay It Forward Day has come and gone, but one New York City metro rider is keeping its spirit alive. The anonymous do-gooder left a sweet note along with a prepaid unlimited metro card for another rider to find, use and pass on. New Yorker Michelle Attardo spotted the card on 2nd Avenue between 88th and 89th and took a photo, which she shared on Instagram. The note reads: Unlimited - good 'til midnight. Use, if you can; leave for someone else when you're done. We love everything about this note, right down to its impeccable semicolon and apostrophe usage. Whoever you are, thanks for making our day -- and someone's night! comments (8) | email this | print | permalink

Last December, following the Friday night performance of our Winter Solstice Celebration, my wife Chez had gone to the Cathedral parking lot to get some gear before taking a taxi to our hotel. When I finally got to the hotel a couple of hours later, Chez realized she was missing a small bag and was sure she’d left it on the ground outside the car. So I said I’d go back and look for it.
It was quite a dark and wintry night, and when I arrived back at the Cathedral around 1:30am, the whole area was deserted. I found the ... 
On an overcast morning a couple of days ago, I was walking through the city center of my home town in central Germany. The gray sky didn't bother me because trees were finally putting on their green spring dress, and flowers strew gentle touches of color here and there. I was on my way to catch a bus, walking quickly, and easily outpaced a man whose stumbling gait had already caught my eye.
While passing him by, I cast a glance towards him, and saw that his head was hanging so low, his chin touched his chest. He was holding a ... | Home | About Us | Our Friends | Get Involved | Contact us |  |  |  |
