@@themachine9000 Hey troll why don't you shut your Trumplican mouth. I don't believe the poster mentioned anything about corrupt news. Grow up and act like a civilized human being.
@@themachine9000 all he was saying is that negativity gets more views than positive news and news stations are for profit above all else just like any other businesses
Al is there sitting on the bench early in the mornings before the sun rises. When I have walked, I have slowed down to say "hi", but have never stopped to sit on the bench as many do. Al's friendly and cheerful disposition makes him quite special. It's as though one is drawn to his gentle soul, and a brief interaction with him always feels uplifting. 💚
Donna, can you say which beach? I live in the area and would love to see him and say hi. I am a therapist and love this. He is right on the mark about listening.
The world really could use a lot more Al Nixons, thank you for your kindness. Steve Hartman thank you for sharing stories like these, keep up the good work.
This gives me more faith in humanity. Let's stop obsessing about the bad and look at the good, because there is so much good in the world, you just have to find it.
What a cool dude. Imagine he may have even saved a life without knowing it. Some people are closer to the edge than you realize. I just hope his bench doesn’t become a tourist destination because remember, he initially sat there for PEACE.
Nobody listens anymore - they are too quick to tell their story instead of listen to yours. And this past year after all we have been through, we need more people to listen.
YOU are absolutely right, Orion! Unfortunately, the news media tends to focus on the negative. People like our former President and the craziness and negativity that he tends to generate would fade quietly away if the press didn't fixate on him so much. Most of us are still decent people who would much rather read/watch a Steve Hartman story than read about how the 45th U.S. President thinks he could beat a Lincoln/Washington Presidential ticket.
What a beautiful man. Makes me wonder just how anyone can hate another human just by the color of their skin? We miss so much beauty when our mind is clouded with judgment. 💗💗💗
I love this man and his message to ALL of us! What a kind heart he has!! Thank You Al Nixon! And as a side bar….. WHERE did you get that wonderful hat!!!??? I’ve GOT to have one just like it!! 😊👍🏼
You never know how just listening, as in listening to understand vs to respond, to someone in itself can make a person feel less stressed and better. When people feel better they move better in life. Respect for anyone willing to help with that esp for free.
Ah the park bench: the modern day oracle. I made two job decisions on the bench at my local park. Now I make 3 times what I did before.........which is still less than 30 an hour but.....livable
It's vague, stupid, an' annoying! You can do better than that! Refined taste and high style are rare nowadays as water for Moon dwellers! What a pity! 😔😶😒
Recently, a friend reposted this story on my Facebook page. Honestly, I thought it was odd but really sweet, so I took the opportunity to take another look. First, Steve Hartman is what someone commented, "a national treasure" and someone I truly consider a friend. God bless him and his family! Beyond that, reading all of your comments gives me so much joy and strength, my cup is filled and my heart is overflowing with humility and gratitude. Thank you all for your kind sentiments, you breathe life into me!! Al
He’s absolutely right. Listening is a skill that is no longer utilized enough and listening means I care about you and I value your thoughts. Great man 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
He’s like a wise and experienced grandparent, not there to judge but to keep you safe and out of harms way and able to get your attention without being harsh, that is a master communicator.
This man is an empath. He is a beacon of light that is attracting others who have needs. IT will never end for him. Notice how calm and happy people are being with him? This is his gift. I would love to meet him.
Kindness it comes in all shape and form. Such a kind story ❤ no matter how dark this world gets. God's light continue to shine. this is still my Father's world. And Good will always... Triumph over evil. God be Praised🙌🙌🙌
Thank you for this story. I am pleased to hear Mr. Al Nixon speak of "listening". He is absolutely correct. From my experience, sometimes people actually talk themselves right into the solution for their problem as someone else has simply listened, nodded and said "mmhmm". I love it when that happens! Keep doing what you're doing, Mr. Nixon. You're doing a great work.
So glad this is recent news. “Everyone needs an Al, even Al.” Damn right, love and support your neighbors, we only have each other till we’re alone in a box underground.
He’s genuine. People need someone like that. Even if they are a stranger!
Mhhm *nods head*
He genuinely likes all dem
Booties dat pass by
His name ,AL, fits him perfectly, AL=Always Listening.
Well Said!!👍
Imagine if more news was this positive, what a world.
Amen 🙏
True
If the news is so corrupt how about you go out and make the world a place where the news has nothing evil to broadcast

@@openyourmind3763 he aint need no degree haha prolly a better therapist than a licensed therapist
Distegard, I found another article that says.
Stop by anytime Donna, it would be my honor to meet with you and chat!
The world really could use a lot more Al Nixons, thank you for your kindness. Steve Hartman thank you for sharing stories like these, keep up the good work.
Mhhhm *nods head*
Mhhhm *nods head*
We all secretly wish to have someone just like Al in our lives to care. As usual...Thank you for a beautiful piece Steve and thank you too Al.🥰
School of Al!
So True
This gives me more faith in humanity. Let's stop obsessing about the bad and look at the good, because there is so much good in the world, you just have to find it.
Yes, my hijab doesn't make me a terrorist.
Mhhhm *nods head*
❤️❤️true words
I hope he hasn't been swamped since this show.
The power of acknowledgement and a smile 🙂
Everyone needs an al to talk to! Bless him.
We need more people like him. He’s worth more than anything money can buy.
I teared up at “everyone needs an Al, even Al”. What a kind man. I strive every day to be a force of good the way he is 💕
My favorite segment in all of the news. Steve Hartman is truly special to have that calling to do "On The Road" Thank You Steve☮❤🙌
What a cool dude. Imagine he may have even saved a life without knowing it. Some people are closer to the edge than you realize. I just hope his bench doesn’t become a tourist destination because remember, he initially sat there for PEACE.

The world needs more genuine people like Al Nixon.
We need another Richard Nixon
@@jasoncutshaw8401 alrighty then
I don't even live in America, but watch these Steve Hartman segments to feel that it's not all bad with everything going around.
Man there’s so much beauty you won’t see on the tv. People are great here and everywhere.

I absolutely have got to find this bench
What a beautiful man. Makes me wonder just how anyone can hate another human just by the color of their skin? We miss so much beauty when our mind is clouded with judgment. 💗💗💗
Patience level: *Over 9000*
I love this man and his message to ALL of us! What a kind heart he has!! Thank You Al Nixon!
And as a side bar….. WHERE did you get that wonderful hat!!!??? I’ve GOT to have one just like it!! 😊👍🏼
Beautiful. Best Florida man sorry ever.
Please share this people! We need this right now more than ever.

YOU LEARN TWICE AS MUCH LISTENING THAN YOU DO TALKING TRUE DEVINE WISDOM GOD BLESS
And here you are yapping away
@@---ny4ys and you are too?
No need to insult them they've said nothing wrong
@@queenbean7071 im also not preaching. Cute that you believe you define right and wrong though 😚
@@---ny4ys then why would you be rude to them?
@@---ny4ys you just seem to want attention.
If your just going to be rude though nobody will want to listen
What a gem he is.
Ironic. He came for peace n quiet. He got the opposite.
i hope i cross paths with this man at some point in my life
Heartfelt thanks to AL for being there for regular folks ❤️❤️❤️ and to CBS for an uplifting story!!😊
What a kind man kindness is free we should a be kind
St. Petersburg by the shore looks great. Florida has it all until the hurricanes hit.
You are an intelligente judge! 🌻🌻🌻
No direct hurricane hits in 100+ years. You may be waiting a while.
Ah the park bench: the modern day oracle. I made two job decisions on the bench at my local park. Now I make 3 times what I did before.........which is still less than 30 an hour but.....livable
If only we all set aside such a time for ourselves to meditate!
or forest gump
He always has a wave & a smile.
I will look for him on my next trip 💕
WE THE PEOPLE love our United State of Florida! This is just another beautiful aspect of our gorgeous state. Thank you Mr. Nixon.
God Bless you Al!
What a Truly Beautiful Soul ☺
“Mhmm” “mhmm” “mhm” i talk the same way with my wife she don’t take it as nicely
Lmao
It's vague, stupid, an' annoying! You can do better than that! Refined taste and high style are rare nowadays as water for Moon dwellers! What a pity! 😔😶😒
🙋 Hi Randy show your wife
the video of Al she may see things differently after Mhmm
I find if you don't say " mmhmm " people will say " are you even listening " , you can't please everyone.. 😁
Al...I am in Arizona. I am coming to see you.
I'm thinking about it too.... I'm in San Francisco!😊
Wow
@@ladyzinada5341 lol...why not...got time? Got money? Do what you will. Right on.
I would be honored!
Awe, what a sweetheart, 💖🐕 👏
I love you Al ❤️
So so nice of you Mr Steve H thank you very much and my thanks to Ms Norah o Donnell like always great thank you
What a good story! Much blessings to Al🥰
Wow that’s so cool. I wish I could go to Florida and meet him.
He speaks little but when he does, it resonates. Beautiful 💝

Not all heros wear capes some work for the city water department
Your comment is making me cry.🤗
Nice man
Now that was truly moving. What a beautiful human being.

Touching And Priceless .... If We'll Can Listen To One Another Instead Of Hurting One Another, We'll Can Heal😊❤
I wish there was someone like that here. Sometimes it's nice to have someone who'll listen and not always give advice or an opinion.
This man is an empath. He is a beacon of light that is attracting others who have needs. IT will never end for him. Notice how calm and happy people are being with him? This is his gift. I would love to meet him.
My friend, if you ever make it this way, stop by the bench for a wonderful listening experience!
Great story about a genuinely good man.
I love this so much....
Kindness it comes in all shape and form. Such a kind story ❤ no matter how dark this world gets. God's light continue to shine. this is still my Father's world. And Good will always... Triumph over evil. God be Praised🙌🙌🙌
God Bless him. My late Father did the same. Never judged me. Just listened.
Al, if you’re out there and see this…..Thank you for always listening. You’re AMAZING 🤩 Listening is an art form and we need to do more of it.👏🏻👌🏻🤲🏻☺️
Thank you Shay, you're right, listening is one of the best ways we show others we care!!❤️
This guy looks like Florida!! Lol
I wish I was close enuf to that bench!
What a good person.
I wanna be him when I grow up. At 63 yrs old it seems I have a ways to go yet:)
I am starting to understand why people don't like me. When people talk to me they think he will always judge me...
?
Beautiful.......
This is a beautiful story , thank you for sharing this
What a cool guy. Keep up the good work, Al!
This man is a shining example of what we all should strive to be like. Xoxoxxoo
Thank you cbs for this gem
This is simply beautiful and heart-warming. ❤️❤️

Well Niabiii, if you ever make it back, I have a big hug waiting for you as well!!!
Man is a legend!
So glad this is recent news. “Everyone needs an Al, even Al.” Damn right, love and support your neighbors, we only have each other till we’re alone in a box underground.
Wow, I Wish I Lived Closer.
I Would Like to Meet this Stellar Man.
Humanity at it´s simplest and finest.
What a wonderful story.
Best kind of news.
Thank you Al 😊
"he's not judgmental".....
Thank you Sr :D ... And news for posting it ~~
What a dude
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼beautiful
We need a lot more of this. More humanity less social media
I'm not shocked. The natural man has these capabilities.
Steve Hartman is a national treasure.
Best news from Florida in a long time.
This is awesome! I’d fly to St. Petersburg just to sit quietly with him!
We do have Angels here on Earth.
So correct: Listening #1 skill. Healing!
Lacking in so many but can be learned .
And we all need Steven. Another great one, man. 🙏😊❤️💥
God Bless him ❤️
Just the kind of news I needed 🥰
The Uber Florida Man! Love it.
Have a nice day .
AL: YOU TEN!
