Blog: I'm Back, and Paying it Forward

I haven't written in quite some time and I am finally getting back into the swing of...uhhh...life?  I was in a bit of a rut for a while, as many people get into and can't seem to get out of...but life seems to be looking pretty darn good these days! Especially now that spring is here.  Thanks for reading and not holding my absence too much against me...

So, last Friday I took my 18 month old to Jimmie Cone for the first time.  I was very excited for this experience with her and to share a chocolate cone.  But, when it came to pay I only had my debit card and didn't realize they only take cash.  A complete stranger watched me walk my daughter back to the car and heard her crying.  I felt a tap on my shoulder and she handed me $5....so nice and completely unnecessary.  I thanked her over and over.

So, last night I was in the drive-thru at Starbucks and decided to pay for the lady's order in line behind me.  The guy working the drive-thru said, "Right on...cool."  I laughed a little because he sounded just like Crush (the sea turtle dude) from Finding Nemo.  Anyway, he then proceeded to tell me that around the holidays they once had a line of 26 cars long each paying for the person behind them.  Pretty cool.

So, I'm curious.  Have you done anything recently to pay it forward?
