Delivery driver's reaction to snacks left for him shows how a little kindness goes a long way

[1]( [Delivery driver's reaction to snacks left for him shows how a little kindness goes a long way]( Sometimes the smallest gesture can change someone’s day for the better, especially when that act of kindness lets them know their work is appreciated. Over the last few years, delivery drivers have done a fantastic job keeping people healthy during the pandemic, so Toni Hillison Barnett told News 11 that she and her husband started a tradition of leaving snacks for their drivers on the front porch. The Barnetts, who live in Louisville, Kentucky, can see the drivers' reactions by recording them on their doorbell cameras. “I live for reactions like this to our snack cart! Thx to all of the delivery drivers out there! We appreciate you!” Toni wrote on an Instagram post. Recently, one of the Barnetts’ delivery guys, a joyous fellow that we believe is known as Dee, went viral on TikTok because of his positive reaction to receiving some snacks during his deliveries. The snacks are tasty, no doubt. But it’s also wonderful to feel appreciated. After Toni posted the video it received over 100,000 views. “Oh my God, you guys are the best, I gotta take a snapshot of this,” Dee can be heard saying in the video. “Oh, Capri Suns are my favorite, Yes!” [Read the story]( [2]( [Elderly man leaves Christmas gifts for a 2-year-old neighbor before death: 'For the next 14 years']( Christmas spirit is all about spreading joy. It could be by exchanging gifts, spending time with loved ones or even decorating the house for the season. Ken Watson, an octogenarian, knew exactly how to share this joy with his neighbors even after his death. In December 2018, about two months after Watson passed away, his neighbor Owen Williams was surprised to receive 14 wrapped Christmas gifts for his daughter. The senior had bought and wrapped the gifts for the then-two-year-old before he died, according to Washington Post. The Williams family befriended Watson when they moved into their new home in the town of Barry, Wales, in 2015. Ken was in his eighties and gradually, they got to know more about his incredible life. "He was an ex-salvage marine diver, a seaman, a carpenter, and an engineer, that's not all. He even baked a wedding cake once," Owen told CNN. In 2016, the Williams welcomed their first daughter, Cadi, and Watson quickly took on the role of a doting grandfather, always making sure to drop off Christmas presents for her. After Watson's death, his daughter stopped by the Williams home with a large bag, which Owen initially thought might be garbage that she wanted him to throw away. Instead, the bag contained Christmas presents that Watson had bought and wrapped for Cadi for the next 14 years. [Read the story]( Did a friend forward this to you?

Sometimes it's the neighbor cutting your grass when your husband's away and you're too busy to get to it yourself. Other times it's sending a card to the elderly widow down the street. One woman in Arkansas has taken to spreading kindness through writing letters to strangers. Allison Bond, 25, started writing letters over a year ago during COVID-19 when she couldn't attend school due to her medical condition. Bond has cerebral palsy and is at greater risk for serious illness should she contract the virus. Writing letters was an act of kindness that didn't require a trip out of the house. Bond began by writing to soldiers and inmates. In fact, the first letter she received back was from a soldier. Bond told 5News, "I have one framed from a soldier. He had all his battle buddies sign it. So I framed it so I could put it up." She's kept every letter she's received.

Either way, just about everyone has lived in a rental home that didn't allow pets. Most people just abide by the rules and vow to get a pet when they find a new home. Some people, on the other hand, get creative. I once came across a post on social media where someone claimed their pit bull puppy was actually a Silver Labrador. But one woman on TikTok was harboring a secret cat in her rental that had a no pets policy, and either her cat was unaware or he was aware and was simply being a jerk. My money is on the latter since cats are known to be jerks for no reason. I mean, have you ever left something on the counter for a few minutes? They make it their mission to knock it on the floor. So I fully believe this fluffy little meow box wanted to make his presence known in an effort to rat out his owner.
