I hope you'll be able to see this video as it's from a French website (http://www.buzger.com/fr/animaux-ils-rechauffent-et-ressuscitent-un-chat-congele.html)

If you can't here's the story: On Thanksgiving morning, in Uthat, a family went to play in the freshly fallen snow and one of the kid found what seemed to be a frozen kitty! The uncle took the cat in the house and did CPR in front of the fire. After an hour the kitty was ALIVE! He's now living with the family!

The next time you find yourself saying why me? Why do I deserve this? I'm just not lucky, it's so not fair. Watch this video and then think just how lucky you really are and make the best of it.

 

This man is an inspiration and unlike most of us, he is making a difference and will leave his mark in this world of ours.

They gave me a full teaching contract for January today. That didn't take long.

It's half time, but every day.

This one made me cry, so why did I post it here? This thread is also about the good that people can do and in so doing did indeed make all the difference in a young boys' short life.

I saw this story on another online site. Yes, it was incredibly sad, but Santa's selfless act is was true goodness beyond measure.

My mom's FB status today:

 

I was shopping at the grocery store for a friend, just some sliced mushrooms and a package of colored sweet peppers. I am in the express line and the guy (cute) ahead of me apologizes for having more than 15 items. I said no problem, the older I get the less of a 
hurrry I am in. He said that was so nice to hear and then told the cashier to put my order with his! I said no thank you and it was not for me. He did it anyway. Made my day and I hope Karma gives it back to him tenfold!

My cousins did this for my uncle after he was diagnosed with cancer.  I don't remember what kind of car it was, but they wanted him to enjoy it for as long as he could since he loved old cars.

I know If an author tried to write a story like that, most people would have trouble believing it. Truth really is stranger than fiction.
