In the beginning of March, I rushed out of the house to make the bus to get to the gym. It was leg day. (Imagine my excitement!) Only to realize, I don't have a bus pass, change or a bus ticket. I went into a local convenience store asking if they sold bus passes. (I needed one anyway .) They didn't. I was basically SOL. A guy who was buying lotto offered me a bus ticket. I told him I would pay it forward. Because let's be honest, nobody should let anybody skip leg day! -Stranger at a Convenience Store
It was great meeting up with a good friend to chat, laugh and have coffee as we haven't seen each other for a spell or two. I was beaten to the punch buying coffee and am most grateful, my brother in arms. -Klyde

There are so many beautiful, interesting places out there, and I knew that I'd miss my Nova Scotia while visiting some of them, but I didm't know how giddy I would get having only days till I'm reunited with my favourite place in the world. To every person in Nova Scotia that makes it so much more with their kindness, love and determination - you all know who you are, and if you don't I hope someone informs you - I just want to say thank you so much and I love you all with all my heart. Nova Scotia may not be perfect, but there are so many reasons to love it. —Coming Home Soon
So i was putting my boots and snowpants on, when suddenly I heard that sweet growl just outside my door! I looked outside to see that you had dug out my driveway and my car, as well as my walk, with your snowblower, and that you had done the same for everyone else too--just WOW!! You made the stormy day really nice for all of us--thanks for being a really great guy and a totally awesome neighbour! — i <3 living in the north end
To the man walking by my apartment this morning after the snowstorm and saw me waving frantically and pounding on the glass - BLESS YOUR HEART for coming over and kicking the ice off the door so I could get out! —Gracious Lady
A big "Thank you!" to our south end of Barrington Street neighbours who came out to push and shovel us out this morning! —Corolla Couple

I am a young woman (37..still young in my books) who has experienced loss...too much loss. I have lost friends, family and mentors. Each loss has caused me to reflect on my own life and revalue what is important, what I want to do with my life, and how precious life truly is. I ask that each of you do the same. Revalue your life. Decide what is important to you and go for it. Life is truly short. Live your life, fully and completely! I understand it is easy to get wrapped up in the craziness that life brings but please try to take some time out to have fun. If tomorrow never comes, how will you reflect on your life? Live freely, love with an over abundance and laugh hard till your belly hurts! —Live, love and make sure you laugh!
For every nasty, rude, closed-minded person, there are at least a dozen lovely, kind, open-minded people in this city. Soooo thankful for all my swell friends! —Hali Lover
Oh how I love all the beautiful Greek men in the city. Having such yummy eye candy during the week sure is a sweet treat. The little guy at the pizza place, the well-spoken man driving the taxi, and the table of older gentlemen at the food court - yum! —Get me to the Greek!
