Because Strangers Can Save the Day

"Last year we had to put almost all of our belongings into storage," says Julie Godwin, of Miller Place, New York. "Then my husband and I both lost our jobs and couldn't pay for the unit anymore. The company was going to auction it off -- with all of our possessions in it! And then these strangers saved us. They heard our story at the auction and felt so bad that they bought our unit and gave it to us. We got everything back!"

Because You'll Never Regret Being Nice

When we heard about Melissa Morris Ivone's organization, Operation Nice, we fell in love with the concept. Morris Ivone started the project to encourage others to pay it forward with acts of kindness, and through her website she has grown the project into a full-blown movement.

I hope you can see this slide show. I heard on our local news that Bentley was certified as the tallest therapy dog. He is 4'2" when standing on all four paws, but when he is standing up on his back legs he is over seven feet. Bentley, I love Great Danes so you can visit me any time!

Pass It On

I was at Wal-Mart with my family and there was this older lady with a couple of kids. She had not been able to pay for all of her groceries. She was only behind by $10. When I saw that she couldn't afford her stuff I got out my wallet and gave her $10 for her to pay for herself and the kids. She began to tear up and she thanked me. Later, my grandmother went to the same place and she had her last $10 paid off, because the person that had already bought her groceries paid for it in advance.

These photos make me smile. What a patient pup! Somehow I don't think my kitties would be so accomodating.
