LOOK WHAT WAS ON OUR DOORSTEP....

two days ago.  Gregg check outside and there it was, and from someone who left no name.  We were very touched by such a kind gift.  Who would have thought that only a couple of weeks ago, we would have been so heart-warmed by being given two rolls of toilet paper and that sweet note.

"Happy Social Distance!  
Here are some supplies to brighten your day. 
Sharing Neighborly Goodwill." 

Such a sweet gesture!  Frankly, it made our day.



I hope you have plenty of supplies in your house.
Thanks for looking and whatever you are doing, I hope it is keeping you safe.

  1. How wonderful! It seems times like this either bring out the best or the worst in people.

    1. Hi Ginny :) I have been hearing all about the hoarding, and the other negatives, but then there are those people like this sweet person. I am now reading all over the globe, including here in the US, where people are helping and showing kindnesses towards others, especially to the elderly. Does the heart good to read about it. I put this post up on our local neighborhood app and I have already had over a hundred replies thanking the kindness of the person who did this for us, and how it made them feel good reading about it.

  3. What a lovely thoughtful gesture. People can be so kind, can't they. Here in the UK the government appealed for volunteers to help the NHS and 405,000 people have come forward. Amazing! Have a great day, Denise, and stay safe. Angie x

    1. Isn't that wonderful about all those volunteers? Really does the heart good. AirBnb has donated 100,000 homes around the world for those who are on the front line of the Corona virus. I wish for you the same Angie x :)

  4. There, I knew there were kind hearted souls still waiting to prove their existence. What a lovely gesture this was. The silence here is heartbreaking. It seems that gone are the days when neighbours were able to be neighbourly. Hope you are coping with everything.

  6. That must have made your day. Our neighbours are supporting each other with acts of kindness and especially doing practical things for the elderly and those living on their own at the same time keeping their distance. It's heartening to experience such thoughtfulness.

  7. it is a fantastic idea and a super gift. and that brings to mind what our world has come to that TP is considered a good gift. wow, how things change in the blink of an eye. it always drives me nuts trying to figure out who gives me an unsigned gift. once I got a check for 100.00, a cashiers check. I needed it really bad, it wasn't my parents or my aunt because they had been helping out with what they could. I never did find out who sent it and that was in 1976.

    1. A blink of the eye indeed. One reason I take nothing for granted, you just never know what is around the corner. I wonder if this comes with age but then I was always a cautious soul :) How kind that person was with the check. These things come out of the blue at the right time, to warm us inside out. Thanks for sharing that Sandra :)

  10. OMG! That is just the sweetest, kindest thing! I love it. It makes me want to go out and see if I can find some toilet paper to give out too. Ooooohhh... That's right. I promised the kids we would stay home from now on.
