I am amazed and grateful every day when anyone acts with kindness: holding a door, helping to find an item in a store, a health care provider or assistant treating me and others with respect and dignity. And I, Cranky Frankie, try to do the same.

You made me cry this morning. There's so much bad stuff in the world, thank you for reminding me of the goodness in the world. I spent most of yesterday taking care of a very sick patient, who is dying, and seems to be falling between the cracks of doctors and their fucking silos. It broke my heart.
I have tried to do nice for others and I have received some "pay it forwards" from others and thank them when I know who they are. You, Debra, are my everyday hero today because you changed the Beautiful Woman commenting issue!! 🤗
Hello Debra, I am sure that many everyday heroes go unsung, but I am always a little suspicious of internet memes. $50 seems awfully cheap for turtles that size, but I have no personal experience here. In Cleveland, before I came to Taiwan, I had a friend who lived in an old neighborhood. He bought some ordinary sized cooking turtles (perhaps 6 or so inches long) but he just kept them as pets. He let them crawl around his apartment (they had a pan of water they could get in and out of) and one of them crawled under the loose carpet and pulled out a $100 bill! So some good deeds are immediately rewarded. --Jim
Thank you, Debra. You are my last blog to visit today and it made me very happy reading about all of this kindness. We need more of it in the world and everyone should strive to be more kind. Take care.
Oh how I enjoyed reading this. I'm happy I visited your site. I'll be using that quote from the last photo! Ever since I got a new cabinet refacing in my kitchen, I've been looking for other ways to add to my kitchen. These days it's finding inspiring quotes to put on the fridge or other places. Thanks for sharing this!
Nice one Debra. The story of the seatbelt inventor is truly a hero. How many lives saved and wasn't looking to get an advantage. Just to help his fellow man and woman.
this post seemed like a priceless gift from God specially for me dear Debra ! thanks for sharing the beautiful and enlightened side of the world ! could not stop my tears meanwhile ,of course tears of gratitude and joy my friend! hugs to you love you !
For those of us who cannot "see" our impact on others, it is helpful to remember that casual gestures of kindness on our part can be a lifeline to the stranger we helped so casually. Even a friendly smile can change a stranger's day for the better.
...Debra, you have a wonderful collection here, thanks.
