My Neighbour's Mail
My neighbor lives "upstate" but also keeps her house next to us empty for emergency use. She only visits for a day at a time and often doesn't visit for months on end.
Her mail box was often stuffed before I offered to collect it for her while she was away. Not only do I collect her mail but I get rid of all the junk-mail because I know she hates it.
She sometimes pays me for this; no more than five dollars - which I put into an envelope and sneak back into her mail!
Each time she opens one of those envelopes she smiles from ear to ear and, when she sees me, she gives me a hug that nearly snaps me in half.
Kindness costs nothing!

Saving The Smiling Turtle
It was a hot day and my mom and I were driving down our street. Mom saw a moving lump right in front of the car and screeched to a stop.
I stepped out and saw a turtle limping along the road. My mom got out after me and we worked together to lift this heavy creature of of the road onto the grassy strip at the edge of the road.
It seemed to me like the turtle smiled a little before slowly wandering off into the grass. I laughed before running back to the car.
