This beautiful lady had lost her husband after many wonderful years. This supermarket worker saw this woman everyday when she entered the market and he felt her sadness and loneliness.

He decided to try and do something to raise her spirits!

Through kindness and empathy the daily "standoff" was born!😁🔫❤️✨

"I am the single mother of four absolutely beautiful little girls. They are 9, 5, 2, and 6 weeks. And things have been particularly rough since my ex left.

My truck had a flat I constantly had to air up. The driver side window motor died. And I needed a new alternator belt. The truck was a mess. And we didn't drive anywhere unless we had to.

Well the other day we desperately needed to go to the store. So we loaded up and drove to the Winn Dixie about 9 blocks away.

When we got out of the store it was far after dark. And POURING rain.

I loaded my kids and groceries into the truck. Tried to crank it...... Nothing. No click. Nothing.

One of my girls had accidentally left a light on. My battery was dead. My phone was also disconnected. I have no family to speak of and was on my own.

I got out and opened my hood to be sure my battery hadn't come loose. Nope.
I must have asked more than twenty people in the course of two hours for a jump. They all ignored me. Not even a no. Just acted like i didn't exist.

My 5 Year old was melting down. My newborn SCREAMING, my two year old crying she was hungry, and my oldest desperately trying to help.

I was bawling and felt like the worst Mom ever.
Then I got a knock on the passenger window. An older gentleman (he was 74) with a cane and a bad limp was on the other side of that knock.

I opened the door. He handed me a plate of chicken strips and biscuits from the deli and bottles of water.
'Feed those babies and yourself young lady. I have a tow truck on the way and my wife will be here shortly to take y'all home.'

Sure enough she arrived followed by the tow truck. Us and our truck were taken home.

The next morning the gentleman returned to my house with a mechanic who replaced my battery and alternator and fixed my window.

The elderly gentleman then left and did not return. When I asked what I owed the mechanic and if I could make payments he smiled telling me the older man had paid for all of it.

He said that the only payment the older man wanted was for me to never give up and keep being an amazing mom.
I've never cried so hard in my life. Things had been absolutely awful. More so than I care to explain.

And without knowing us or our situation this kind man helped us in ways he will never know.

What he did revived my faith when I was falling apart. But he wouldn't even take a hug.

I'll never be able to thank him. But I certainly hope one day I can do what he did for me for someone else."

"This is Nala. I love her so much but it is unrequited love… she wants NOTHING to do with me.

She doesn't care for my other cats, children, or family. So WHY do I even want to post about her?

Because she fell in love with my autistic teen.

Sasha, my now 17 year old, has always been different and craved a best friend.
Most kids did not really play with her, and she often cried tears asking why nobody wanted to be her friend. As a mom, my heart broke.

Fast forward to 2020, we ended up with Nala quite by chance. Someone rescued and vetted her from the streets as a stray but could not keep her.

I saw one pic and went to get her.

Nala instantly allowed Sasha to touch her, but no one else. Nala and Sasha slowly began to bridge trust between them and after a couple of months, Nala was officially Sasha’s cat.

She only wants Sasha, no one else. She follows my daughter around like a puppy, will allow snuggles and pets only from her.

Will eat out of Sasha’s hands and spoon with her laying in bed. The rest of us are chopped liver. She has given my daughter so much confidence she has put herself out there now and HAS FRIENDS and a part time job!

I love a cat who hates me."

I heard the coolest thing today.....I wish I'd done it for Smokey. An old man that walked the neighborhood every day with his old faithful dog had to put him down due to cancer. Everyone in the neighborhood knew the dog and loved him. The old man put this flyer all over the neighborhood:

Unfortunately due to cancer I have to put my old companion down on Tuesday at 6pm at my vets. I'll be be walking him around the neighborhood one last time at 4 pm if you'd like to see him one last time.

Tears rolled down the old man's face as every single person in the neighborhood was out in front of their homes with treats, tears and cheers......the old dog was smiles ear to ear....

The colorful ful mandi of India🛍

Indian flower markets (mandi means market in Hindi) are an intoxicating mix of vibrant colors and fragrances. Starting at four in the morning, the market is bustling with sellers and buyers. The main products here are flowers, fresh petals and flower heads. Goods in the market are sold by weight in huge quantities.

In India, flowers are an important element of culture, be it wedding ceremonies, religious festivals, daily temples or home pujas (consecrations). Most of the flowers sold in the market will be used for ceremonial purposes, and only a small part will be used to decorate homes or luxury hotels.

Indians believe that flowers make people happy and present them with the words: "May your life be as beautiful as this flower!"🌹
