Pay It Forward

So the other day Rachel and I were at Costco and I was really cravin one of their hotdogs. I mean, who can resist right? So we bought all the items Rach had and I made my way through the damn of grocery carts to the concession stand. I ordered my hotdog with a beverage and at this point my mouth was watering. The girl gave me the total and I began to pull out my credit card, oooopsie! Little did I know, they only take cash or check, so I asked Rach if she could spare me some cash, she had none. My face was starting to get hot, I was getting embarrassed because there was a train of people behind me waiting. I turned back to the hotdog girl and told her "well I guess I'll have to pass on this today, sorry." But before I could turn away, the lady behind me said "You know what, put that on my order, I'll get the same." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was so shocked. No one has done that for me, ever. I began to tell her no, don't do that, really it's fine, but she was persistant. Then I thanked her, told her how nice that was and that I would "pay it forward".

People like that make this world a better place. That seriously made my day, and it gave me a new respect for some people out there. The whole rest of that day I couldn't stop thinking about how I was going to pay that forward, and how freaking nice that was of her! That is so rare to see these days I think. Anyway, the point of the story is to just say I think we all need a little bit of that in our lives, don't you think? Just one kind gesture, or act of service; it can really change some people. I know it has for me.
Have a wonderful day!!! And HALLOWEEN!!!!
