I saw a quote that said.. "You could literally be fighting for your life, and some people will only notice how you're not showing up for them." Let that sink in.

“I don’t think I was a hero. I was just like everybody else. We were all in this together.” D-Day veteran Jake Larson is adamant that his bravery 80 years ago was not exceptional: “The heroes are up there. They gave their life, so that I could make it.”

This valedictorian helped bury his late dad and then gave an unforgettable graduation speech: "I can't stand up here and pretend I want to be doing the speech right now. But I can't throw something away that he worked so hard for me to achieve." ❤️

When I was a kid, I was so envious of my well off friends who had fridges with ice dispensers. We couldn't afford those nice fridges so I waited overnight for my ice trays to freeze to get ice cubes.

My dumb "made it" dream was to get one of those fridges someday. Now I finally have one and I feel so lucky every time I get ice for my water. It's a simple pleasure and it helps me realize I don't need much to be happy.

What's your dumb "made it" dream that you finally accomplished?

“My heart was warmed at Wal-Mart during lunch.

This gentleman's items were scanned and he was given the total. He looks apologetically back at me and starts taking handfuls of change out of his pockets.

He miscounts and starts to get flustered. Gives me a muttered, "I'm so sorry." His hands and voice are shaking.

This beautiful cashier takes his hands dumps all the change on the counter and says, "This is not a problem, honey. We will do this together."

He continues to apologize to both of us as we reassure him it's ok. They get his transaction handled and he shuffles away.

I looked at this wonderful woman and said, "Thank you for being so patient with him."

She shakes her head and replies, "You shouldn't have to thank me, baby. What's wrong with our world is we've forgotten how to love one another."

I want to be more like her.”
