      Great idea!!!
      They have cartoons and crossword.
      The kindness pages.
      C for catharsis.
      I think some people would read the kindness page and think that's all they have to do to be kind though?
      Catharsis is the opposite of Dynamism.
      The kindness page would have to be dynamic in some way.
      Like sponsored with free ad space for local businesses.
      Or the kindness page reports are done by kids doing internships for college.

      I have had the opposite experience with almost every hair cutter I have ever had.
      My mom never cut my hair but she also never took me to a barber to teach me how to talk about what I wanted.
      So out of 25 professional haircuts I've had 15 were disasters.

      "Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom".

      But I just read it on a drawing my dad did.
      It's a picture of Canadian Geese.
      One goose is watching and the rest are eating.
      My dad just died and I'm going through his stuff.
      Then I went down stairs and met a friendly dog......He wanted to smell what my husband had in his hand.
      It was a chip of granite and he would have been happy to take it but his owner pulled him away.
      "Common Peter" she said.
      Guess what my dad's name is?
      I'll give you a hint,
      It's not George or Jesus.
      And it's not Elvis, Paul or John.

    This morning, the 1st Day of 2023, my husband and I were blessed and shocked by a stranger's Act of Kindness. My husband has lost his vision and has had several surgeries (4 hospitals in the last 8mos). Going out is a treat and challenge. He is in a wheelchair, and I have a hip-to-toe leg brace. Doors are the worst, I've become more used to folks watching my struggle, or he remains in the car. TODAY, 2 young guys came to open both doors to enter the restaurant, which was amazing. We were seated, placed our order and enjoyed our breakfast, waiting to receive our ticket, our waitress informed us that our ticket had been paid, I was shocked. What a blessing surprise, and as we left, a young man entering the restaurant helped us leave. I WILL PAY IT ONWARD

      Hopefully you didn’t have that leg brace on for long and that you were able to pay it forward. I hope 2024 started off better than ‘23 did. Unfortunately with the infestation of social media people are more interested in getting a great shot of someone or something that they can put on their SM page. It’s a sad state when people are so wrapped up in their social media status that they can’t see the struggles of their fellow human beings!

When we found out over 3 years ago we were going to be Grandparents we were beyond excited to be able to have this little person who we could spoil and love on and when we got tired say “ok here ya go Mom and Dad you can have the little one back!” But it hasn’t gone quite like that.

    I started watching OTRWSH regularly in August, 2018. I had decided I just couldn't handle watching videos and reading articles about a certain "politician." I needed something more positive--and Steve Hartman (along with The Dodo and some other animal UA-cam Channels) was it. It's been remarkable watching how Steve's Kindness activities have mushroomed. I'm thrilled for him and for those who have appeared in his stories. I don't do jealousy; but when I see someone like Steve who has clearly found what he is supposed to be doing in this life, on this planet, I could almost feel envious. And thanks a million for making sure that these videos appear on UA-cam. I live outside the U.S., and none of the cable companies here have CBS, and I won't pay for a streaming service. If not for UA-cam, I never would have watched Steve and shared his videos with my ESL students here.

      I'm so old, I watched this same segment when Charles Kuralt did them, traveling around the country in an old RV. Steve has carried on Charles' legacy quite well. It is a nice relief from the rest of the news, as well as a great reminder that an act of kindness doesn't have to make the news in order to impact someone's life. It can be as simple as holding a door, having what seems to be an unimportant conversation in a doctor's waiting room, or picking up a hurt animal on the side of the road and getting it help. No great sacrifice is required to smile at someone or have a kind word for someone having a bad day.

    Love Steve Hartman's stories. I would like to share one thing. A smile. My favorite quote is, "A smile can be seen in a flash but the memory of it will last a lifetime". I try hard to smile at as many people as I can & the benefit is a brilliant smile back at me. That's enough to make me smile even more.

    What an uplifting program. I think we are seeing so many gifts of kindness. People watch and feel so good that they want to do acts of kindness. More and more of these acts are highlighted and I feel it is having an impact on society. We went out to dinner on New Years and just waiting to be seated I saw people go out of their way to open doors, to say Happy New Years. There was an incredible feeling in the air and people were chatting with strangers. It was palpable.

    Wonderful stories of kindness. Ruby touched my heart. My parents moved to be newr me in an assisted living facility which does all levels of care. Dad passed but Mom is still here and bedridden. I am there all the time feeding her etc. and I see such loneliness.
    During Covid my Mom went in Hospice so I was able to go in during the epidemic. I made it a point to say hello and smile at every resident I saw once they were allowed to leave their rooms.
    I plan to volunteer to visit with with shut ins once my Mom eventually passes.

    I Love Steve H. And his kindness series kept me sane during Covid. I volunteer at my local middle school, math and science tutoring. I feel connected, I don’t have children, never wanted children. But my mother was a teacher, lord, a generation of potential doctors, scientists, mathematics….gone. I went from alone to a community. I am shy, but maybe find people like me. Teaching, to be able to tutor, changes lives.

    This act of kindness/service brought tears to my soul! I was a patient in rehab unexpectedly for 3months. One of the turning points of my stay was getting my hair shampooed, cut and styled. It gave me a new and healthy perspective! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

    What a beautiful message, needed so much today! From the seed of On the Road with Charles Kuralt and later inherited by Steve Hartman, the message has continued to grow and evolve, and the world has benefited for sure.
    Well done CBS! Thank you for seeing the benefit in showing the message of kindness to the world!

    My grandmother always took me to care for her ill mother twords the end of her life and would take me to volunteer at a place that fed elderly people. I learned to care for the elderly from her and now in my life, I can't help myself but to help. It drives my family crazy when we are in a hurry, but I have to watch an old couple get into their car safely, or help a wheelchair bound person get something heavy or high up. I've been told I'm kind, but I always say "it's my grandmother work paying off." Love that lady.

    I love Steve Hartman. His last name suits him well even if heart is spelled a little different. I ALWAYS remember the story he reported of a white duck that followed a little girl everywhere thinking the girl was its mom. The girl and duck grew up together. I hope that one day he can do a follow up story on them. Thank you Mr. Hartman! Your stories are what we need today and everyday ❤❤❤
