Hey there people and Happy Monday to you!! I hope you've had a lovely weekend and are looking forward to a productive week. This week I've decided to add a little something extra to my Monday Mantras posts - I hope you like it. I thought I'd feature some inspiring stories I have found during my week as well as the inspirational photos and quotes I usually feature.

This week I found some wonderfully inspiring stories that actually brought a little tear to my eye. These all come from this post from The Marc and Angel Hack Life blog and I think they're lovely. Here are my faves:

"Today at 1AM, my grandma, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s, got up, got into my dad’s car and drove off.  We contacted the police.  But before the police could find her, two college kids pulled into our driveway with my grandma.  One was driving my dad’s car and the other was following in their car.  They said they overheard her crying about being lost at an empty gas station 10 miles away.  My grandma couldn’t remember our address, but gave the kids her first and last name.  They looked her up online, found our address, and drove her home.  MMT"

"Today, my dad turned 91.  He barely has enough strength to speak.  But every time my mom (she’s 84) walks into the room to check on him, he says, “Hello beautiful.”  MMT"

 "Today, my grandpa keeps and old, candid photo on his nightstand of my grandma and him laughing together at some party in the 1960’s.  My grandma passed away from cancer in 1999 when I was 7.  This evening when I was at his house, my grandpa caught me staring at the photo.  He walked up, hugged me from behind and said, “Remember, just because something doesn’t last forever, doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth your while.”  MMT"

Don't forget to check out his post as it has 25 of these kind of stories featured. They are lovely, inspirational and bound to make you smile!
