I have to say nothing. People are too much into themselves today than anything else. I truely believe they love their cell phones more than their own family.

I got sick about a week ago and have been slowly recovering. One day there was a knock at my door and someone had sent me flowers. The get well card was signed by my daughter, husband and granddaughter who live out of state. I texted my daughter to thank her and she said her husband had ordered them on his own that day. I thought that was so nice of my son in law to think of me and send flowers 🌸!

@butterfly123 I'd like to know what you get out of asking a question like this?

Every night at work, a lot of people give me a hand with little things that are hard on me because my knee is messed up. Yesterday, my sister offered to drive me downtown to get coppies of some important papers. Huge blessings!

I have been hosting Paint Night in my home studio recently. Last Monday, while I was working, my mother nicely organized all of the art supplies and otherwise tidied things up for me. I felt as though my “fairy godmother” had popped in when I got home and saw it! She never said a word about it. I had to pry it out of my father. I'm sure it took her the majority of the day. (She is a cancer survivor with painful arthritis from the chemo treatments.)

I will find some subtle way to repay her for this kindness.

The person in front of me at the Starbucks drive thru paid my bill...it happened when I was feeling hopeless & that act of kindness meant the world to me.

My new next door neighbor left a holiday gift for me outside the door! It was sweet! I suppose she is expecting something -- neighborly peace, she is always apologizing for her noisy children, but really she didn't have to, I don't mind and am happy to have young children nearby.

I don’t understand your question. I was hoping the answers would uplift others.

The last thing was just a few minutes ago our grandson wanted to know if we needed him to come over and shovel snow. We have 4" and more is coming. He never asks for anything in return. He is in his 20's, has a full time job, is a volunteer fireman and has a steady girl....but always finds time to offer his help and asks for nothing in return....well, maybe one of grandma's thick ham toasties!!

Beautiful post.

My kind neighbor has brought the garbage cans in for me. No small feat as we have very long driveways.

I bring them in when I return home from work and a few times they were already put away.

Thanks Ingrid!

@butterfly123 I was wondering if it makes you feel good to read what makes others feel good.

1. Friend who picked me up at the ER, took me to Walgreens and went in to get my pain meds while I stayed in her car, then she took me home and made sure I was safe.

2. Another friend (male) who went to the Impound Lot to clean out my vehicle and remove the license plates. We didn't know about their rules. He had to fill out a form, have me sign it and I contacted my attorney who notorized it. He then returned to the Impound Lot with the completed (notorized) form and was able to access my car. That was to keep theives from removing personal belongings.
3. Family who cut short their vacation in Orlando and returned home upon learning of my injuries.

4. Another friend who took me to the Ortho Surgeon. She listened to him and asked great questions!

5. My son for selecting two vehicles and sending a couple of pictures. I chose one and said, "SOLD". He went to my safe deposit box (he's always been a co-signer) and removed the title of my totaled vehicle.
6. My friends and neighbors who have grocery shopped for me.

7. My son who has vacuumed and stopped to check on me!

8. Family, friends who have called or emailed and this group of Q-Forum friends who have continued to check on me. I'm grateful for the outpouring of support and kindness. It makes an unfortunate situation much more liveable knowing others care!

9. And so much more!

My DIL (with my ok) bought tickets for an American Doll event at a local theatre. She and I attended the event, with my little granddaughter and her doll, named Bella. It was a sweet and happy event. We met an amazing little girl in a wheelchair, who did speak clearly with difficulty, who also brought her doll. We went out after for an early dinner at a place GD chose. Pancakes! And it was a day I was feeling quite well, as my DH later told me he had prayed for.

@butterfly123 DH gave me a nice back rub last night after 12 hrs. of packing boxes at Mom’s apartment. He did give me a suspicious wink afterwards, but it didn’t work...I was asleep within 2 minutes! 😜
