These are all stories I stumbled upon today. They are all truly inspiring and/or thought-provoking, in my opinion. Most of them come from www.makesmethink.com.
"Today I asked my 6 year-old son what he wants to be when he grows up. He said, 'Mommy, all I want to be is happy.'"
"Today while I was driving my grandfather to his doctor's appointment, I complained about hitting 2 red lights in a row. My grandfather chuckled and said, 'You always complain about the red ones, but you never celebrate the green ones.'"
"Today I returned home from being stationed in Iraq for 9 months. While I was still in uniform, I went into the local ice cream parlor to get a milkshake. The girl behind the counter handed me my milkshake and said, 'It's on me.' 'Thanks, you didn't have to do that,' I replied. 'Neither did you,' she said.
"Today I was approached by a homeless man who asked if I had any change. I only had 2 dimes, but I gave them to him anyway. As I watched him walk away, he put the dimes in an expired parking meter of a strangers car."
"Today my sister told me of a student who was turning 8 years-old on Thursday. As I realized he was born on September 11, 2001, I said, "How horrible for his family." My sister explained that his grandfather works at the Pentagon and skipped work that day after learning his daughter was in labor."
