The night before Thankgiving, I was walking through our basement with an armload of firewood when I saw something that I could not quite believe. It was confusing and heartrending at the same time. A small mouse was sitting upright in the middle of our basement. It was hunched over, hanging its head with its eyes closed, and this may sound crazy, but it looked sad and completely defeated.
I approached it slowly, hoping that it was just fast asleep, drunk on whatever food it had managed to scrounge from our cellar. Sadly, that was not the case. As I reached out a hand to let it know that I was close, it lifted its head, looked up at me sideways, and slumped, hanging its head and closing its eyes again. It made no attempt to move. It was vulnerable and helpless.
As I gently picked it up, it did not protest - it assumed the same position. It looked up at me once, dropped its head to its chest again and closed its eyes. Within a few minutes it was asleep in my hand.
Close inspection revealed an injured rear leg that the mouse was dragging behind it. We consulted with a wildlife rehabilitator who was at capacity but offered valuable advice. She said it was likely nerve damage and suggested a week of cage rest to see if the injury would resolve on its own. So we spent the holiday weekend creating a habitat for and feeding our new guest. And we are seeing significant progress already.
Our guest will be with us for a few more days, until it is strong enough to be integrated with a colony - at that time, we'll bring it to our dear friend Ellen Jareckie, a wildlife rehabilitator and the artist behind House Mouse Designs. She will keep the mouse through the winter and release it when it is stronger, in early spring.
I think it would be safe to assume that many who read this will believe that I am nuts for spending days trying to rehabilitate a mouse, and I understand. But seeing a small, helpless creature in a vulnerable state broke my heart. I had to do something.

Update: We adopted Pilgrim - he has a permanent injury so we cannot release him (he cannot run normally). But he is thriving, and he has his own Facebook group now.

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband is not in bed. She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.

'What's the matter, dear' she whispers as she steps into the room, 'Why are you down here at this time of night
The husband looks up from his coffee, 'It's the 20th Anniversary of the day we met'.
She can't believe he has remembered and starts to tear up.

The husband continues, 'Do you remember 20 years ago when we started dating, I was 18 and you were only 16,' he says solemnly.
Once again, the wife is touched to tears. 'Yes, I do' she replies.

The husband pauses The words were not coming easily. 'Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car'
'Yes, I remember' said the wife, lowering herself into the chair beside him.

The husband continued. 'Do you remember when he shoved the sh***un in my face and said, "Either you marry my daughter or I will send you to prison for 20 years'
'I remember that, too' she replied softly.

He wiped another tear from his cheek and said "I would have gotten out today."

“WOW okay so the most amazing thing just happened to me and I can’t help but share it with the world. American Airlines instituted a new policy where you have to pay to take a carry-on onto the plane. Which is ridiculous but off topic.
I consolidate my bags into one and they measure it and say it’s just a little too big. They proceed to charge me $50, except they only take credit card, no cash. Since I just got back from Europe all my cards are being declined as Chase doesn’t know I’m back.
They tell me that I’m going to have to miss the flight and head back to the ticket counter to pay down there. I’m pleading, devastated after a long day of travel. Then, this man walks up and says, “How much is it?” They tell him $50 and he says “I got it.”
I’m astonished and tell him it’s fine not to worry and he hands the lady his card as the American Airlines employees stand in silence shocked by this man’s generosity. They swipe the card and he tells me to have a great flight and hop on board.
I’m crying as I write this and as I board the flight. This man was an angel. I stop him as he’s sitting in first class and try to give him my money but he just shook me off and told me to pay it forward.
My heart is so happy. There are good people in this world. Be that person for someone because I know after this I sure will be.” 💕
Update: It was NFL player, Jermaine Gresham.

My kitty watches me from up on the deck railing until I notice him and let him inside. I can see him from my desk in my home office. He makes me smile. ❤️Connecticut, USA ( the northeast corner of the US).

(His name is Harry, he was a feral street cat I adopted from a TNS ( trap neuter/spay) program to be a barn cat. Over about a years time, after spending hours talking and sitting with him, he decided on Christmas Eve, I was his person. He walked onto my lap, put his face to mine and an overwhelming sense of my mother’s love washed over me. ( she’d passed about a year before). Since that night, he and I are bonded like soulmates. We adore each other. ❤️

Tonight, my 4-piece chicken dinner was on the house.

When I went to pay for my meal, the sweet cashier simply wouldn’t let me.

“No, sir, I got it,” she said, smiling.

“What? Are you serious?” I asked, surprised.

“Yeah, I gave you my employee meal,” she replied.

Her employee meal!

I stood there for a moment, frozen in shock, with a half-smile on my face.

So, I told her if she wouldn’t let me pay, I insisted on taking a picture with her to share her kind act with everyone.

“What’s your name?” I asked.

“It’s Jazz,” she said.

“Thank you, Jazz. You really made my night.”

And one thing’s for sure... this place on Garners Ferry just got a regular customer from now on.

You don’t forget kindness like that.

This is how things work. I posted a picture of a bunny that I had petted and I got reported by a woman from Massachusetts. She has a license for wildlife and I don’t. She has caged animals that she had broken their spirit by caging them, so she can handle them, and show them off for profit. Literally, anyone with money can get a license. Anyways, Facebook, for the first time, sided with me…Thank You, Facebook, but, I deleted the post anyway. I blocked her, but, she had her followers harass me and my followers. Do you think this injured Golden Eagle cared about all that jazz. Here’s Goldie’s story…there was a dead bunny on the corner in the road, the Eagle came down to get it, a car hit it, the Eagle flew up and landed in the road, it was a accident, the Eagle was on a blind corner, but, the driver kept on going. Breezie and I stopped, I checked on the bird, it was alive but wasn’t able to move much. I was so afraid for it, without thinking I bent down so we were face to face, then it clicked, this injured Golden Eagle could rip my face off!! But, when we made eye contact, I knew it was going to be ok. I just picked her up, hugged her so gently, told her it was going to be okay, and set her back from the corner and on the side of the road. I thought I was In luck, Best Friends animal sanctuary in Kanab was only about 20 miles away. I called them, I explained what happened, and how urgent the situation was. They didn’t act that interested. They told me that I would have to take the injured bird myself to them, and Id be responsible for the bill, (and they are the absolute most expensive veterinarians on the planet). I told her I have no experience with moving a Golden Eagle, but, that would be the only way they’d help me, and I told her I didn’t want to have a loose Golden Eagle in my Jeep, and she said, sorry, they couldn’t help me then. Having zero experience with a Golden Eagle, and me knowing there’s no way in heck I’m going to let Goldie die alone in the hot sun, (Kanab, Utah where this happened gets over 100 degrees in the summer) So, I bent down, I explained the situation to Goldie, and moved her farther back from the road. I gave him food and water, he took both from my hand. Breezie and I sat with him for over 4 hours, I gave him more water, massaged his hurt wing, and told him that it was going to be alright. Then, a miracle happened. He all of a sudden had all his energy back, just like that! He jumped up, flapped his wings and flew! He did one circle back around us, let out a screech of joy, and flew off. Amen!! I love animals.

A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little gray hair he had left. Amazing, he thought as he flew down I-94, pushing the pedal even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a state trooper behind him, lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, What am I doing? I'm too old for this, and pulled over to await the trooper's arrival.
Pulling in behind him, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch, and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."
The old gentleman paused. Then he said, "Years ago, my wife ran off with a state trooper. I thought you were bringing her back."
"Have a good day, sir," replied the trooper 😁

My dad was an addict. He died from an overdose in 2018.
I once got mad at him when his food stamp card was denied and I had to cover his groceries.
It wasn’t about the money.
I gave him a hard time when he broke my glass measuring cup.
It wasn’t about the cup.
He commented on a new haircut and I was enraged because he’d already seen it and I assumed he was too drunk to remember.
It wasn’t about my hair.
I drove him from doctor to doctor, from rehab to rehab, but I was frequently short tempered. Visibly put out by what he required of me.
It wasn’t about the time.
He was homeless for many years. He used to stand on corners with a sign and ask for whatever money or food people were willing to give.
I loved him, but I was frequently embarrassed by him.
I was mad about my childhood and what bled into my adulthood, and I found any way to take it out on him.
He’s gone now and I’m not mad at him anymore.
I’m mad at how much I let my inability to forgive him affect our relationship.
Now he is free and I’m chained, weighed down by all the grace I couldn’t bear to give a person who so wholly was in need of it.
Give forgiveness. Because my regret over withholding it is stronger than all the anger I felt throughout the years.

“Today I adopted a human. It broke my heart to see him so lonely and confused. And suddenly I got his teary eyes to meet mine. I don't like the smell of sad. I wanted to jump on him so bad. He spoke to me with cuteness and I knew it, I had to rescue him!, that human needed me. So I bark with all my strength, I followed him blocks and blocks.
I got close, I could smell his hands. The human smiled for an instant and when he took me in his arms, I started to feel his ice cream heart warmed. I approached his cheeks and felt a tear roll on them. I looked at him deeply and his response was a brilliant smile. I jumped excited into his arms, I promised to behave, love him forever and never part with his side.
How lucky he was to go through that block, down that street and I feel lucky too.
There were so many people walking around and no one was looking at me. All worried, all in their troubles. Glad no one else chose me Today I saved a life. Today I adopted a human” 🐾 🐕

“Today while on our daily run a little girl was outside the funeral home & yelled “may I pet your puppy?” I smiled & said “of course! As long as your parents don’t mind!!” & the little girl did a shy little smile & said “oh my parents aren’t out here- my mom’s inside & my daddy died... we are at his funeral.” Before I could say a word- Blue walked up to this little girl & ever so gently sat down in front of her & the girl wrapped her arms around Blue’s neck & wouldn’t let go. This little girl’s friends & family were all surrounding us and as I looked around there wasn’t a dry eye to be found (except this little girl). I quickly dried my eyes (I was very thankful for tinted sunglasses) & sat & talked to this little girl for a few minutes. She then jumps up & says “I want you to meet my Daddy!!! Can you please come meet him??” I said “if you want me to meet your daddy, I’d absolutely love to as long as it’s ok that I look like this!” (Keep in mind I had just got done running 3 miles- LOL) I walked into the funeral home with this sweet girl, met her daddy, her mom, & her grandparents. She showed me the beautiful bouquet of flowers that surrounded his casket & told me how pretty she thought everything looked. She then asked if me & Blue would stay for a few more minutes- she wanted to pet Blue a little more. So we did.
This little girl’s Aunt & Uncle looked at me with tears running down their face & her aunt whispered “I think God led you & Blue over here today for a reason... Blue’s love & gentleness that she has showed her has touched our hearts.”
I’ve always referred to Blue as my “gentle giant” because I’ve always felt that she could sense when someone is sad/upset/etc. & has this overwhelming calmness about her that is indescribable..”
