Moments People Spread Joy by Sharing Wholesome Pics Online (New)

[@Whammytap]

Years ago, I was doing a New Year's gig with my band -- private show, somebody had hired us for their house party. I'd been having...just a really sad time for a while, and that night in particular I was missing my husband and wishing I could be with him and my family on that holiday night. Most of the people at the party were family to the guy hosting. So it's late, the show is done, and I'm dragging my gear across a cold, frosty front yard, loading my car. A couple with a small child are also leaving, and the small child stops to gaze at me for a protracted moment. I do my best to ignore and keep working. But then the kid walks away from the parents and up to me, and I kid you not, it's a probably 3-or 4-year-old Cindy Lou Who-looking little blonde girl with these giant blue eyes, and she looks up at me and holds her little arms up and says "Do you need a hug?" I look up at the parents, who give me this barely-perceptible little nod. I get down on one knee and tell her "Yes, honey, I DO need a hug." And she hugs me. Dear reader, it took everything inside of me not to break down sobbing in that moment. It took everything I had to keep my breath from hitching as that pint-sized packet of unconditional love and wonderment did me a human kindness, because I didn't want her to think she'd made me cry, didn't want to have to explain to her that people can cry because they're happy or because their emotions changed so suddenly. I hope it was dark enough that she didn't notice the unshed tears in my eyes when we parted. She trotted back to her parents, to whom I mouthed a silent "Thank you." I will carry that moment, that gesture, with me forever.

Well, I'M crying 🥲

@ Oh, I bawled my eyes out later. And I felt better than I had in a long time.

@@Whammytap How absolutely lovely

[@batsonelectronics]

next time I go to MUSC in Charleston for a heart check ( am on the heart transplant list with them ) I wanna visit that Hyman's Seafood place, just to buy something for helping others.

[@danaMccabe-dagmarK]

I am lifting you up in prayer: that your turn on that list comes up soon. That your surgery be a resounding success. And that you live a long and blessed life. God bless 💕

[@cynthiacunningham7220]

Amen

More of these please! Maybe showing good behavior will help others to show kindness as well.

When I was going through my divorce 32 years ago, I was broke, alone in a new city, and having trouble with just bills let alone looking forward to anything celebratory for Christmas that year. I got an unsigned Christmas card with some beautiful encouraging words and $50 in cash! Cried big time over that, and have never forgotten it, never did find out who it was. I make sure to spread those fifties around wherever I can now. Sometimes we just need that little spark of kindness and generosity.

[@janettraynor433]

Thank you for these. It's a wonderful way to start my day!!❤

[@normalaird8262]

First photo - With all the tales of how children/teenagers behave badly these days, it's easy to forget that the vast majority still behave with common decency, let alone with altruism like this - kudos to this boy, and his parents for raising him to be the kind soul that he is. 2:53 - What a great idea. One has to wonder why all eateries don't do this. Then again, I had never thought of it, so I guess most owner don't either, or printers/menu providers for that matter (maybe some campaign from whatever Blind "Society" each Country has (the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) in Britain, for instance) would make owners aware.) 3:06 - I cannot express just how happy this "Post" made me. I really do wish that animal shelters were not needed but, sadly, they are. They do such sterling work, and it must have been so gratifying to them when this happened. 💖 To all of those who achieved something in this video (or those watching!) - Congratulations! Hope your world keeps going in a Wonderful direction. You have shown everyone that striving for something is not only admirable, but achievable. For those who have shown such kindness, love, and respect to their fellow human beings, no matter what place those humans have found themselves in, you make the world just that little bit better, not only for those you helped, but for everyone. You really do restore my faith in humanity. ❤

A wonderful video to watch while I'm drinking my coffee !!! You guys do such a fabulous job !!❤❤❤

[@ceceyoung7462]

The lady needlefelting…I had to backtrack and see it again, I honestly thought THEY WERE REAL! I’m blown away! I commented halfway thru (so I wouldn’t forget) but then I bawled thru the rest…so nice to read about kindness in this chaotic world!❤❤❤

The city I live in made a community centre focused on the homeless / low income members of the community. free laundry and showers, 3 meals a day for under 10 bucks, help accessing health care, air conditioned space during heat waves and heated shelter during winter cold.

7:22 My Teenage Bedroom was located in an out building, separate from the main residence and because of this, I was permitted to have My own telephone extension. Whenever I was out and I knew that I absolutely wasn’t going to be Home before curfew, I would phone Home shortly before curfew. And when One of My Parents answered the telephone I would simply say “it’s OK, I’ve got it, it’s for Me” and My Parent would simply hang up, knowing confidently that I was back Home, in My Bedroom (and before curfew). God Bless them both, but neither of them ever caught onto this Deception and if they ever did, they never told Me.

[@kristinholsapple2587]

Ok, so I cried through a majority of them, crazy how you can cry in 1 second..I honestly love that these things happen. I know there is so much negativity in the world but I am happy to see there is a lot of positivity...

The finally got a bed brought tears to my eye because I was a homeless kid and so was my husband. The damp cold of concrete seeps thru literally everything. Cardboard helps but it nothing can really stop it. It's a cold you feel in your bones. I've never taken a bed, no matter how shifty it seems because I could always be without one again.

Communication is the secret Would always leave notes for our son. He would do the same for us. Opportunity to say Love You or ❤❤'s, no matter how old he become. Husband was a shift worker, I always made breakfast or brunch in bed for him when he awoke. On "his" special tray with napkins, laid out nicely. Son, even while small would help me. I had a silver and porcelain flower which I would ritchulaly add to the tray, would tell my son to go and get it, out of my buffet, for his Dad, which son loved to do. Now even today, our 45 year old son likes to make people feel special and likes to cook for others.

Fawning? I've seen this a couple of times now, don't people know that the real meaning of fawning is not a good thing?

[@just-dl]

Nope. Looked it up. I’ve always thought it to be caring, and perhaps a bit over the top. Interesting. Wouldn’t have thought it had a negative connotation.

[@SallyMB63567]

@@just-dl Did you look up dissemble at the same time? "Fawning: the act or practice of seeking favour by flattery or a servile way of behaving". In case you need this, too, "Servile: slavishly submissive or obsequious". Caring?

[@just-dl]

@ I stopped with fawning. There’s a few words that don’t sound (to me) like they mean. Oddly, dissembling I had right. Ambivalent is tough for me. Technically, it’s more like “mixed emotions” (plus and minus) but I associate it with apathetic. I know the difference but it feels wrong to me. As my daughter says, Englishing is hard. 🤣 I’m an amateur word smith, so I like learning new stuff!

[@SallyMB63567]

@@just-dl Dissembling is related to lying. Had you looked it up like you said, you would have known what fawning meant, you hadn't looked it up.

[@just-dl]

@ not sure what you’re on about. No connection to fawning and dissembling in the definition at Webster’s. You might want to check your superiority complex at the door.
