“Giving Every Day”: 50 “Good News” Stories That Prove There’s Still Positivity In The World

My heart! First thing this single dad thought of after getting a bonus was to pay back the kindness.

I am fortunate to own a decent-sized house (that I bought 23 years ago). It was about $400,000 less than it's worth now. People assume that because I live in that house, I don't struggle, but keeping it temperate and keeping food on the table are huge struggles.

Thank you Marlon, even tho our times together r long past, you will always stay in my thoughts… -the one u used to role play with in 5th grade

Great story. They should probably see a doctor about the unending butt weeping though.

god damm onion fairies

When training my dog, I used hand gestures with every command, just in case she goes deaf later in life. It also keeps her on her toes just to use gestures rather than words. She loves it. Especially “boop”, which is simply me pointing at her. She brings her nose to my finger. It was almost self-taught, as she did it once, saw my laughing reaction, and wants to so it all the time now.

Dogs are better with signs than with words. If you want to make it easier for them combine signs with words.

We don't deserve dogs, but 8 year old children do (children in general do)

Before we met dogs, we where monkeys. Dogs gave us a pack, the ability to communicate with delicacy, share with others and all the rock and roll that we have, because most importantly- they gave us their time so we could have free-time

Ok THIS made me cry

Every time I see this post, I imagine the joy and fun those two must have had chasing after the postman.

That little girl is going to remember those moments for the rest of her life.

Just brilliant.

I'm choked up...what a good kid.

May OP find money in every pocket

Amazing amounts of love goes around in that family. Now look at the billionaires and ask yourself who has more love and happiness in their lives.

Aww! This is so sweet!

When I was younger and lived at my parents' home, my parents got my paycheck and they gave me some money back.

When my boy was 3 he had surgery, and brought his ET stuffie with him. Poor ET had no eye. When he came to recovery, ET had an eye patch : ) It wasn't until after a few days of being home, did my son take off the eye patch. ET was given a new eye!!!!! Sometimes there are angels

Parents say no pfft hospital be like not having that omg bless them ❤️

This was not the thing I expected an onion attack on.

and that's how you comfort a kid an learn to ask

I guarantee you the surgical staff had a FIELD DAY with that stuffie. Probably made their month.

Caring manager gently finds the root of a problem. Uncaring manager just writes them up or fires them.

Thank you blessed be x

Love this. On the flip side, Target and Walmart (in the Us) will let you park overnight with no issues. May not solve all the nights but at least you'll have 1 decent night's rest.

The William Booth Center is a program for convicted felons, giving them shelter, food and job assistance. We would often get candidates to fill out applications at the Bulk Mailing Center where I was the Director of Administration. I had one guy "L" who came in for an interview. He was very honest about why he'd been incarcerated. He was personable and somehow I just KNEW if I gave this guy a chance, he would work his @ss off for me. Boy did he! He went from warehouse worker, to driver, to Transportation Manager in less than a year. He was walking a new hire driver around and introduced him to me. As they were walking away, "L" tells the guy, "Michelle is great to work for, but don't ever f*ck with her. She's tough, but she's fair. Do your job right and she will always have your back." It was probably one of the nicest compliments I was never supposed to hear.

Thank you! My first thought was the poor guy had narcolepsy and needed to see a doctor.

Wonderful when people appreciate some good music 🎶

This is adorable. Especially the clapping afterwards.

Now play Baba O'Riley

My elderly neighbor plays his music at such a high volume that I have to wonder how he's able to be in the same room ; I play mine loud too, but nowhere near his level! Turns out, he's deaf in one ear & not hearing so well in the other. When his wife was still alive, I'd text her when he played certain favorites--it took a while for them to believe that I wasn't complaining about the 'noise,' but they finally got it that I love sitting on my porch & listening--we like the same stuff so it's great, actually. He still plays the music almost every night, but it's just him now, so I text him with requests. Great guy, but poor thing is so lonely. I check on him regularly, especially if he goes radio-silent more than a couple of nights. They say fences make good neighbors, but I think similar taste in music & a good sound system are better!

Great that you knew how to play this.

The best teachers understand the everlasting power of encouraging words.

look at the books behind them! so cool!

He found his biggest fan.

So nice to hear ^.^ I had more than one high school teacher laugh in my face at what I wanted to do in life and each time the dream just evaporated and I never had it again.

as a retired teacher, i especially love this!!!
