Birthed and raised me.
-
Held the door open for me. I just feel like that is the most polite and kind thing you can do for someone. When a stranger holds the door open for me, I feel like they are going out of there way to be nice to me.

She said "Yes" when I asked if she'd marry me.
-
My parents making me alive.

I could say alot of cheesy things so I guess I will: 1. God- he saved me 2. obviously my parents always being there for me and you know making me and stuff 3. my sibs- they always make me smile (well almost always) 4. my friends- they have always accepted me just as I am even though I've had some nasty ups and downs 5. people that smile to me on the street- that always makes my day 6. Those nice guys that say "oh, you look cute" and stuff like that 7. my dog- he greets me every morning and even though he smells really bad I can't go one morning without just patting him on the head 8. all my teachers who put up with me- luv ya 9. People on Ab are really super nice 10. that person who said my avatar was cute

After the birth of baby #3 I was experiencing some coping problems with caring for my two older children. My hubby expected me to get them up and ready for school, get #1 off on the bus, drive #2 to preschool AND squeeze nursing #3 into the morning schedule, all at 6 weeks postpartum. I was exhausted and actually cried in the car (along with my newborn) while driving #2 to preschool. Thankfully, a more compassionate out-of-state friend arranged for someone local to help me out. I never even took her up on her offer, but just knowing I could have help made all the difference.

saved my life. I went to wade across a flooded street in Bali years ago and a guy called out to me that the power lines were down in the water...

Blessed me with some money. My dad, mom, sister and I use to travel all the time when I was young. My dad is a gospel piano player, and went around playing for an evangelist; our family also sang together to. Well we were at this church in Houston, Texas and this woman walked up to me and put a bundle of money in my hands. At the time, I was worshipping the Lord with my hands lifted up. It was a blessing to me, because I had asked God for some offering to put in the offering basket, and it was provided. I did as I desired. It was weird, but it just reminds me how God works in mysterious ways. I was only 12 or so. Hope this doesn't offend anyone, it just really boosted me up.

I don't know if I can quantify what the nicest was but the first that comes to mind is he helped me put my shoes on. He was an orderly that noticed my discomfort. It took me half an hour for one shoe that wasn't even laced up yet. He came along and put them on for me. I felt humbled and very appreciative.
-
I can't remember, but I find it very respectable when a stranger can just smile and ask you "How's it goin?" I remember I saw a guy like that at the park, an old man, seemed pretty chill though. I was laying down on a bench with my eyes closed and heard someone say "Rough life?" I thought whoever it was was talking to someone else do I didnt look up, like 10 seconds later i realized that whoever it was could of been talking to me so i sat up and saw the guy walking away to his car. Should of yelled out to him if he was talking to me but at the time i figured it would of been weird. i like homey people though

I ran out of gas in the rain 2 miles from the closest store or house. An older gentleman stopped to help me out. He went back to his house to get a gas can and then went to the store and filled it up and came back and put it in my truck for me and helped me to get it started. I offered him money but he wouldnt take it. Kind people do still exist. Thankfully.

When i was a bank teller I would have a beautiful corsage waiting for me every day for months. When I found out many many years later who did it I asked him why he did such a beautiful thing when I really didnt know him. He said he used to come to my teller window because he appreciated that I took the time to ask him how he was after his beloved wife passed away and i never let him leave until he was through talking about her no matter how many people were in line. To this day I have kept him in my prayers.

During a really financially hard time a friend of mine gathered all of her teenage son's toys from when he was little (she had kept many of them in the original packaging)and we polished up the rest so that Santa had plenty to deliver to my 5 year old son that Christmas.

My senior year in high school on prom night. I was at dinner with my date and another couple. We were all decked out in our formal attire and laughing it up. When we asked for our bill the waitress told us that the that was couple sitting next to us had already paid for EVERYTHING including tip...stating that they remembered how hard it was to pay for things at our age. They left before she told us so that we couldn't refuse. This still stays with me to this day...I vowed to one day 'pay it forward' to kids in the same situation :)

I was working in the Post Office in CT when my wife left. Being depressed, I requested leave of absence and stayed with my Mother in Florida beyond the time that the requested permitted. I was not earning a lot in Florida. Then one day a friend of mine a supervisor remember me and sent a letter to know if I still wanted to go back to the post office and claim retreat rights to a position that opened up. I had exceeded my leave by many months, but the kindness of this supervisor letting me know of the position allowed me to go back to the well paid job that I had held before. She was so nice and I love her so much for this.

Last year I got into a huge arguement with my father and came home, literally, bawling. I went and sat in the corner of my room. My husband came in, crouched down, patted my head and gave me a hershey bar. He couldn't think of anything else to make it better.

A friend from work found out about it and from what I heard took the last few dollars she had that she was supposed to use to buy herself lunch and went without eating that day to buy the ingredents to make me a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies which btw are my all time favorite. She surprised me with them on my birthday.

I was taking a creative writing class. It was like the third or fourth class and there was some sort of party in the building and we were invited to the buffet, but I didn't have time to grab something to eat, so I had some wine, and I went back to class. I said to the guy sitting next to me that I hadn't eaten all day and that the wine on my empty stomach was probably going to make me a really interesting student. Like 5 minutes later, he walked out of the class, when he came back and sat back down, he sneaked me a sandwich from the buffet. I was so impressed! I know it's a stupid thing, but he was practically a stranger, and then he stopped going to the class, I have never seen him again and I live in a relatively small city. That was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me.
-
My husband has done countless nice things for me,but one that stands out is when we were only dating and he heard on the radio that the power in my mother's neighborhood went out and he knew that she needed electricity for her dialysis.He lugged over this huge generator for her so she could do her dialysis.I didn't find out about it until my father mentioned it!He is a thoughtful,considerate,loving man and I am fortunate to know him :)

The nicest things can be very small sometimes. I remember one day I was in Greece with my boyfriend. We arrived on an island very early in the morning and had to wait a few hours for the next boat. We walked around a bit and saw this man who worked as a street cleaner. Somehow there was something about him, you know, some people just have this magic around them. He was a bit simple minded, probably ignored by most people. I asked if I could take his picture in front of this beautiful door. He looked at us in pure surprise and said: "Who, me??" and gave us a great shy smile. We took his picture and left. Later on, still killing time, we where very hungry but everything was still closed. We were strolling a bit and then we met him again. The moment he saw us he reached for his bag and took two stuffed breads out of it, which he offered to us. Somehow I found that to be very touching. It was like his whole face was shining, and he was truely a magical person. We never saw him again, but that was one of those moments I will never forget.

Think I would like to answer my iown question here ( if this is bad form I am sorry) I posted this quesstion becuase so many good people have helped me in the past and I get a warm feeling everytime I think about it. Just wanted to read your stories and bathe in the possitive energy that good nice stories about honest and real people give out. There is to much bad news in the world today and 2 many negative vibes. About 15 years ago I broke down on the Thames embankment between chelsea and Albert bridge, it was a wet dark, cold winters night and my car just died. A young indian guy stopped and towed my car 5 miles out of his way so I could get home. This was a small kind act from a total stranger who refused to take any reward. It has allways stuck with me as an act of kindness and I try to do the same to other people. It amazes me how such a simple act could have had such a profound effect on me but I have passed on this act by helping others hundreds of times. Let us hope they also continue and in thier turn pass on acts of kindness to others and in some small way this world might be a better place to live in

Hele me while I cried. Been my friend even though they totally disagreed with what I was doing at the time. And many years ago, I was a young wife of a soldier and we were living in Germany. On the way back from shopping in Frankfurt, my car broke down. I was stuck for hours trying to find help. I was 19, didn't speak German, and had no Germany money with me. I had to send my pregnant friend, her little girl, and my baby home in a cab. Our husbands were in the field training, it was starting to get dark, and I was a total disaster. I saw a car pull up in to an apartment and a soldier go inside. I knocked on the door and the soldier wound up pushing my car from the gas station to his house so it wouldn't be towed, loaded my groceries in his car, and drove me 45 minutes home. He unloaded all the groceries and saw me in safely.

When I was little, my Brother and I had a incredible Baseball card collection, much of it was from my Grandfather who had collected cards and had cards of great value. Much of the collection was our own hardwork, from any chore around the house or the neighborhood that we could find, in order to buy baseball cards. The cards meant alot to us, for alot of reasons. They had great sentimental value as well as financial value. The day before we were gonna move out of this nightmarish neighborhood we lived in, we got robbed. They took all of our baseball cards. We even knew who did it and couldn't do anything about it 'cause we were kids and we didn't have a father. My Mother told a co-worker of hers about what happened, and his son, who was only a couple years older than me, decided he wanted to help. He gave us his entire collection of Baseball cards that his family had passed down to him and that he had spent his whole life amassing. He didn't even know us. That changed my life.

ALL of the guys I ever knew, husbands, boyfriends of my friends, when found out their girl/wife was pregnant, asked the same question "FROM WHO?????" Well, my boyfriend (now my husband) did't.

My boyfriend took care of me before he was my boyfriend when I was really sick. I found this phenomenal because: 1.) We had known each other for a month. 2.) He never left my side except to go to work, and we kept in contact through email when he was at work. 3.) I just moved to this state a month before we met, and I knew no one.

I could list a lot of things but the most recent was tonight. My husband was scheduled to go hunting at 4:00 for the weekend but stayed home for 4 hours with our son so I could get my hair done. And he paid for it!

This one time I was at work and I was having an extremely rough night. I was hating life and everyone in it. I was ready to knock someone's head of and drive off a cliff.
