I'm at the launderette. It's really busy. A dryer finished so someone emptied it to use the dryer, the person who owns the clothes isn't here though. 3 ladies are chatting and folding the clothes. No one knows each other. It's all rather lovely.
Who knew that sitting in the launderette showed you a sweet side of life.
Also there's a man here unsure how to do the wash, he asked me for help, and promised he wasn't a weirdo. He's not a weirdo and now lots of the women are helping him too.

This is my 1,000th post. I joined in 2022 after I moved to the Isle of Skye. Since then I have enjoyed the contact with so many of you. You are, without exception, a very interesting group of people. You are spread across the world and your interests, enthusiasms and views are wide and varied. However not so varied as to include any negativity, hatred or bigotry. I am always uplifted by your posts. Thank you all. You bring joy.

Things in the USofA must be changed so that any future President #cannot do or be allowed to do what #trump is doing to his country and the wider world...
Only the #goodpeople of America can make this happen... by using their vote...

That naughty teeny tiny dog Ebby took off this morning as we were out walking, freaked me out. She’s so little she could hide behind a blade of grass & not be seen! George stayed by my side the whole time I searched for her.
A truck came down the road driven by a local I hadn’t met before. Tells me his name is Brownie, big (very) fella with a scar on his forehead. He knows Ebby & asks if I’ve searched his property & in we go, no she wasn’t there. Brownie gets in a little buggy & says he’ll check down the road one way & I go back the other way towards home. Very near home there she is coming out of the bush looking very pleased with herself. Panic over, heart rate decreases but that is my nightmare scenario of maybe having to tell an owner I’ve lost their much loved pet. I pick her up & tell her off then walk back down to tell Brownie & to thank him. George has stayed glued to my side all through it. He’s a good boy - Ebby not so much 😏 - she will be on a lead tomorrow morning for the last walk & won’t like it. #HouseSit #PetSit #CountryFolk #GoodPeople. -

The Tram Driver Gave My Autistic 4 Year Old A Shout Out On The Speaker
Then as we were leaving the platform he did one final speaker announcement saying "Bye little man, take care of yourself"
Anyone with a autistic child or even just a toddler who's experienced the dread of a public meltdown will know how much of a difference it makes to your day when someone shows you compassion. He made our day a little brighter and I've given feedback to the company.

Just had a huge panic attack! Left my bag with laptop in it on the back of a shopping trolley. Got all the way home before I realised. Rushed back to the mall and bag nowhere to be found. About to give up when my name comes on the PA. Sprint to the mall office and hear that a kind woman found it and brought it in. Didn't leave her name, so I can't thank her but I can spread her goodness and tell everyone my story. Good people are still out there!

I get home from work one day, hop off my bike and crack open a beer. Suddenly, I get a phone call. Complete stranger tells me that he has my wallet. I get defensive and we start arguing. He then tells me to check my bag. I reluctantly do so and realise my wallet is nowhere to be found. I slink back to the phone and apologise profusely and the guy is fully understanding. In these moments, you realise the work you still have to do on yourself and how good some people are.

Can I just say, I can't believe how nice people are when they come to the site. I spend a lot of time working on this labour of love for my own reasons, trying to make it fun, but it really makes my day when you lovely people drop supportive comments like these! #Awesome #Kind #Generous #GoodPeople

It’s like a refreshment stand — just for your self-esteem. Ethan got the idea while reading his ‘Dog Man’ graphic novel. In the book, one of the characters sets up an insult stand.

I told my manager yesterday that my soul is tired and I need a break.
Schedule came out today and she borrowed an employee from another store so I could have a 3 day weekend starting tomorrow ❤️
The people make a difference.

Wow! A stunning read - thank you so much for formulating & sharing this & all power to your students & yourself. This resonates so loud & clear:
“I think no one really wants to have a whole generation of people who know how to fake it and phone it in and debate me bro but no idea what they're talking about. I truly believe that the students we graduate who actually read and think and write for themselves will stand out like floodlights, and will likely… be the ones who can pursue anything they want. But the gamble they are taking is reading and thinking and then being led by a generation of zombies, and it scares them.”
They will be floodlights as you are. 🙂
