Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
I just had to say a big thank you to the nice gentleman at Costco in Windsor Saturday morning. He seen me get to my car with a full cart. I know he wanted my spot, but instead of waiting, he gets out of his car comes over to me and starts helping me unload all my stuff in my car. Even tells me not to forget my purse in the cart, I couldn't believe how nice some people really are. You sir, made my day and maybe you are from Leamington, who knows, but I just wanted to let you know that you have been spotted thanks again!!
I just want to thank the kind man in the riverside area who we always see shoveling and salting the sidewalks in our neighbourhood. Recently, a scheduling mix up caused us to leave our son Kevin at the house by himself for a short period of time, when we got home everything was fine but he told us that when he ran into some trouble you were in the neighbourhood and were able to help him out. We sincerely appreciate you looking out for the neighbours.
To the person who hit my bf's Charcoal coloured dodge ram in the parking lot of Fresco east. He parked in a spot and a half due to the snow on the side and you still managed to side swiped his truck!!!! Now WE have to incur the cost to have it repaired. Hope you are satisfied with yourself.
I would like to take a moment to give a shout to my daughter Mya.
She's in first grade and was given a 100 days of school project. She decided she wanted to collect 100 cans of cat food and donate it to the "Pet society" aka the Windsor Essex Humane society.
After reaching out to friends and family to help her, she completely blew her goal out of the water!
This Saturday she dropped off 436 cans to WECHS and I am so incredibly proud of her.
An emotional day for just an haircut. I, along with 3 other women watched as clippers shaved off your 16 inches of red hair. Diagnosed just weeks before your 33rd birthday with breast cancer you wanted to donate your hair before chemo stole it. You allowed each of us to snip a braid while "Fight Song" played in the background. I watched as you mouthed the lyrics and sang them to your 5 year old son. You held him close while he rubbed your arm.
To Marina at B2 studio in Lakeshore, you went over and beyond today. From tapering her buzzcut and washing her head afterwards-you are more than just a hairdresser. Thank you for donating your services today and the card.
To the one lady who approached me and told me of her mother having cancer and how you wished she had the support my friend did... thank you. Thank you for sharing that with a complete stranger such as myself. I am grateful to share such a bittersweet day today with her and I'm glad it touched your life as well.
Yesterday, around 4pm, my son was walking from the WFCU Credit Union to the Zehrs store on Malden Rd. He was crossing at the 2 way stop when a woman whipped around the corner, narrowly missing him by a meer foot. She then saw him, put her window down and said that the sun was in her eyes (no apology though). The 1st thing he told me when he got home was "he almost got killed today". This morning at 6:30, he unexpectedly said the same thing to me before leaving for work. He is not a little kid, a 25 year old young man who's brush with death will likely stay with him for a while. Would you accept the excuse " the sun was in my eyes" had it been a vehicle hitting your car? I think not! I thank the Lord that my son was able to come home yesterday without physical injury.
I was in the book aisle at The Real Canadian Superstore on Walker Road in Windsor today and I noticed a book I've been thinking of purchasing, called "Chicken Soup for the Soul - The Power of Gratitude". I noticed an orange sticky-note on top of the book that read, "Be open to receive. Give thanks for the little things in life. Gratitude opens the door to receive more." I had tears in my eyes because I so desperately needed to see this message. I picked up the book and the note fell heavily off the book. When I went to see why, I picked up the note and on the back of the note was taped a loonie. I was shocked. I ended up purchasing the book, feeling like the 101 Stories contained within it could help me. I am inspired to do the same for someone else. We never know when and where we may find an act of kindness and this honest heart wants to thank you for lifting me up when I needed it most.
For the record so that everybody knows at the Tim Hortons on the corner of Wyandotte and walker when you leave the drive-through and going to that little alley area you are not allowed to turn right on a red light. I am aware that usually you are allowed to do this however they specifically have a sign up at corner that shows that you cannot do this The reason for this is because that big opening next to it is the trucks loading bay for that company So for the two people who were beeping like crazy and giving me the finger tonight because I was not turning right on the red light I was waiting you need to pay more attention to your surroundings and the signs People need to stop being so impatient I have seen someone almost get hit by a truck at that light because they turned right on a red light Just because you refuse to obey the traffic signs doesn't mean I will I'm being responsible because if you get hit because you're running the red light to turn right in a place that says you cannot do this it will be your responsibility and frankly I can't afford the ticket or the cost that it's gonna cost to fix my car and someone else's.
