I look in my review mirror and for some reason I make the decision. There was no particular reason why it just felt like the right kind of morning to do it. I pull up and order my usual coffee, no chocolate cookie this morning as Brynleigh is at home with Daddy this morning while I dropped Logan off at school.
I pull up to the window to pay for my order and I say it. "I would like to pay for the order behind me as well please."
I have no idea how much the woman behind me ordered and it didn't matter to me. I just wanted to make someone's day, a Friday especially a little bit better. I wanted them to be reminded just like I was that yes, there is still good in the world.
I got such a high from it. I felt like I was doing something super top secret. I bet if everyone knew how it made them feel afterwards more people would be paying it forward. It not only made her day better, but mine as well. I know it was nothing big, but it was just enough for today.
And as I sat at the red light after pulling out, she drives by me and honks and waves.
I want to encourage you to pay it forward. Trust me the feeling you get from it is amazing, and I bet you the person will never forget it, whether it's big or small.
Pay It Forward!
