Pay it forward is such a good thing to do that it keeps coming around and bumping you in the behind!

Restores your faith in human nature doesn't it? Pay it forward.......

Isn't it a wonderful feeling??

I've had that happen several times when I worked at the post office. I always went the extra mile & every blue moon someone would say thank you with a gift or a kiss (lol an older Swedish man kissed my hand in thanks).

I did not realize exactly what Pay it Forward meant - I like it

That was such a sweet gesture - and a good reminder to the rest of us - just how appreciated this can be.....

I am also trying to think of what I can do....hmmm....there is the seetest lady at a bagel stand at the hospital where I always stop....I bet she would love a little card with a gift tucked inside

Thanks for posting cookiebaker

Sometimes money or a gift is not what is called for.....sometimes, just an honest, positive comment makes all the difference in the world. I often thank someone more than once, for doing something - even what is expected.

I think just trying to be light hearted and pleasant is one way to assure that most of what comes out of your mouth is going to be positive and received by most as a compliment. I know it often takes lots of "never minding" to stay in that frame of mind, but it does work.

I loved this story.... I hope it brings out the best in everyone who reads it. Not that they NEED to have it brought out. Just a reminder.

Thanks Cookiebaker!
