A Venezuelan boy who lost his parents and older brother in the devastating earthquakes had just one wish — a Cristiano Ronaldo sticker.

He got a heartfelt video message from the soccer legend himself instead.

Andrés Mieles, 10, who remains hospitalized after he had his right leg amputated, hit the jackpot Friday when the Portugal superstar sent him the personal message — and an invitation to watch him play live.

My dad’s super proud of his hand carved shepherd’s staff and all the likes it’s gotten him on Facebook. I’d love to get him even more attention here - hope the fame doesn’t go to his head!

I started hiding tiny watercolor cards in Little Free Libraries. I hope they make someone’s day.

I paint tiny watercolor illustrations of two little bear characters, and on the back of each card I write a short kind message for whoever happens to find it.

I’ve started leaving them inside Little Free Libraries (the little neighborhood book exchange boxes) around where I live in the Netherlands.

I know there’s a good chance I’ll never know who finds them, and I think that’s my favorite part.
It feels like sending a tiny piece of kindness into the world.
Has anyone else done something similar with their art?

We have gone to their 4th celebration the past two years, but this year we opted to get out of town away from the fireworks for the sake of our dog (Alvin). It’s a short drive, and I’m sad we’ll miss their party. But this makes it so much better.

This is the first time as an adult that I’ve had such a good friend live so close, and I could not be more grateful for everything that she does and helps us with. I know she’s been busy the last few weeks, and the fact that she still took time to do this is incredible.

The five-year anniversary of my dad’s passing is coming up, so I’ve been intentionally looking for little things that bring me joy to help balance out the heavier moments that always seem to creep in around this time of year.

I’ve been pouring myself into the backyard lately. My dad loved being outside and surrounded by nature, so putting up bird feeders, bird baths, and all the little extras has been surprisingly healing. I genuinely love sitting out there and watching all the animals enjoy it.

It’s the small things in life, y’all. ❤️

To stay on track of the sub:

Our HOA sucks and have only gotten worse in these last couple years. We got a letter for grass growing in between the cracks on the sidewalk. My 81 year old neighbor got a letter because of her outdoor chair/stool she sits in to garden was on was too visible, even though it was on the SIDE OF HER HOUSE by her water hose. I live next her and never noticed it.

Now back to follow-up on the caption:

My neighbors kids live with him and so does his wife's mom, they all have cars but one of their cars can't fully fit in their driveway, they've been given several fines because the trunk sticks out into the street. They're behind on their fines and have recently been threatened with a foreclosure and that's when he reached out to me. We've only ever spoken to each other maybe 10 times in the eight years I've been here and most of those interactions were because of my Halloween decorations. Anyways, I have no problem with them using my driveway for two reasons 1. I'm a renter which is technically illegal in this neighborhood 2. I hate HOA.
