  16. Wow, I loved that! I love independent bookstores too. I have a paperback copy of It by Stephen King that's over 20 years old. I drag it out on beach trips and long flights. I love a paperback book; I can't bring myself to read a book on a electronic device yet.

  22. *gulp*... Those were truly awesome and worth sharing! Totally brightened my day. As much as I love reading gossip and about the bizarre nature of society, it is so refreshing and good for the heart to see the bright side of humanity :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. So awesome. Thanks for posting this. On the linked site one picture shows kittens in a basket on a mans head. The second photo shows another cat, the momma?, still in the water. I hope that one made it to safety too.

  24. Thank you Enty!!

    (perfect timing-- totally cruddy day)

  25. I'm not PMS'ing but my eyeballs leaked too. I really think overall that people are good. Call me idealistic but I see so much more good than bad.

  27. @ Sacha I had the exact same thought about the mother cat in the water, I've been searching but I can't find any other photo's of this event. Cats's can swim, so let's hope that she made it ok and was reunited with her kittens!

    Thanks Enty for this. Enough inspiration to pay it forward. There should be more posts like this, preferably every week, so our faith can remain restored........

    "Paradox Books, 2228 Market Street (in the Wheeling City Center Market), Wheeling, West Virginia, 26003. There’s no phone to call, no website to visit. But you have the power of the pen and postage stamps. Write a note, ask them to send you something and in return, send financial support."

    That first picture of the two guys pulling out the sheep is a beautiful way to start off that post.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I've been having such a hard month that when I've seen this link elsewhere I refused to click. I didn't want to feel good. Today I decided to do it. I'm glad I did. I forget there are selfless people in the world sometimes.

  49. Those pictures were beautiful and lifted my spirits today. Thank you.
