Even if life isn\u2019t always easy, occasionally we are reminded of the goodness in the world and the beauty of life by unexpected bursts of generosity, hope, and brightness. We\u2019ll share true tales in this book that encapsulate the wonder and magic that can lift the spirits on even the gloomiest days.<\/p>\n
A few days before my 30th birthday, my (now ex) wife told me she had a meeting in the city and would be home late \u2014 but she actually drove to the airport to pick up my best friend, who had secretly flown in from out of state to\u00a0surprise\u00a0me.
\nThe next day, she took us to a spot a few hours away, where we spent my birthday weekend with a bunch of my other friends. It was one of the best weekends of my life!\u00a0\u00a9 TempleOfCyclops \/ Reddit<\/p>\n
I was totally down on my luck, living out of a hotel. I had a job, but not enough money to stay there until my check came. A friend of mine bought me lunch and told me they couldn\u2019t help much, but this was what they had, which was $300 short.<\/p>\n
I guess we had talked about it, but I don\u2019t remember. The next thing I know, this guy at the next table is leaving, and he tells me not to go until he comes back. His girlfriend\/wife stayed behind even though they had already paid the bill. He came back in a few minutes and handed me $300.<\/p>\n
I asked him for his contact info, but he said he didn\u2019t want it back and told me to keep working to stay off the streets. That man literally stopped my mom and me from becoming homeless. I still have a job, and I\u2019m in a nice apartment now, but I will always remember that man\u2019s generosity. I have tried to help other people as much as I can to pay him back in some way.\u00a0\u00a9 Limp_Distribution \/ Reddit<\/p>\n

One day, I was having a rough time, so I decided to sit in the park to cool myself down. A man who looked like he was in his 60s came up to me and started a conversation. During our talk, he was writing something on a piece of paper.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t think much of it, but before he left, he handed me the paper. It said, \u201cIt was nice talking to you. You remind me of my son, who was a sweetheart just like you. I just wanted to say, never give up on yourself, even if life gets hard, because I\u2019m rooting for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
That made me tear up instantly. Ever since that day, I\u2019ve been giving it my all in life because of him.\u00a0\u00a9 Savings_Eye1165 \/ Reddit<\/p>\n
One time, when I was training for a new truck driving job, the trainer noticed that I just sat off to the side during lunch while everyone else ate. That afternoon, he bought me lunch during a time when I didn\u2019t know where my next meal would come from. I\u2019m forever appreciative of that gesture.\u00a0\u00a9 Existentialist** \/ Reddit<\/p>\n

When I was pregnant with my daughter, my ex and I were looking for a new place to live. We found a private rental, and when the landlord was showing us around, she asked if I knew what I was having. I told her we were having a girl.<\/p>\n
When we moved in, the room for the nursery had been painted pink, and beautiful pink blackout curtains had been added.<\/p>\n
The day we moved out, she even came over to help me pack and clean. Just a genuinely beautiful human who showed me so much kindness.\u00a0\u00a9 snoozlybar \/ Reddit<\/p>\n

I was at a restaurant and one of two customers (didn\u2019t see the other person). I was talking to a friend on the phone about something personal that made me really upset. I went to pay, and the hostess said a customer covered my meal. I cried.\u00a0\u00a9 JackfruitCurry \/ Reddit<\/p>\n

A few years ago, my siblings and I hosted a 70th birthday party for my dad on my birthday. My birthday is in July; his is in February. We had him fooled into thinking the surprise party was for me, and he was shocked when he walked in and realized it was his party. Half the fun was watching him almost spoil the surprise about half a dozen times.<\/p>\n
Fast-forward to yesterday: I got a package in the mail with a super cozy sweatshirt and a note from Dad saying it was a birthday gift for me on his birthday. In the note, he wrote, \u201cI couldn\u2019t think of a better person I would want to swap birthdays with.\u201d I\u2019m not gonna lie, the note was the real gift.\u00a0\u00a9 Tanaisy \/ Reddit<\/p>\n
During a busy spell at my former job, I was working a double shift and couldn\u2019t grab food because it was so busy. A customer bought me some soup and coffee after noticing I seemed frustrated, though I was actually just super hangry.
\nI was so appreciative of that bowl of soup\u2026 it doesn\u2019t take much to be nice to others.\u00a0\u00a9 Balding_Unit \/ Reddit<\/p>\n

I was 18 and living away from home for the first time (from the UK, moved to Canada). I couldn\u2019t afford much, so I walked two miles through the snow to buy bedding in a discount shop, and was having a miserable day. The woman in front of me in the cashier queue put $50 on a store voucher card, handed it to me, and walked away before I had a chance to react.
\nIn the middle of a tough day, it really made a difference. Definitely the most memorable random act of kindness I\u2019ve ever experienced.\u00a0\u00a9 w1256414 \/ Reddit<\/p>\n

My first week in Japan, I went to the post office to pick up my ATM card, but I had to go to the main post office a mile or so away. I understood that much, but nothing else, and I certainly had no clue where it was.<\/p>\n
A little gentleman in farmer\u2019s garb tapped me on the shoulder and gestured for me to follow him. He took me to his mini-truck and then drove me to the main post office. I thanked him as best as I could in my very rudimentary Japanese and headed inside.
\nWhen I came back outside, he was waiting for me (!), and he took me back to the original post office. He said a total of two words to me on the way back: \u201cTeacher?\u201d and when I said yes, \u201cGood.\u201d\u00a0\u00a9 Japanat1 \/ Reddit<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
