I was very tired when I left work last night and I decided to go to McD's and just get a burger/fries. Bad for me I know, but it is what it is, lol! When I got to the cashier to pay he told me that the person in the car in front of me paid for my dinner and said Merry Christmas, pay it forward!

How unexpected and always fun. I have done this over the years and enjoyed suprising folks here and there, and not just at Christmas time, but year round when the urge hits me.  But I have never been the reciprocant. It made me smile and brightened up a otherwise stressful and challenging day for me.

So pay it forward folks today with anything... a compliment, buy someone coffee or a meal, they don't have to know its from you either. Be creative, be simple.  If your coworker next to you loves herbal teas, place a box of herbal teas on their desk, things like that!

You would be suprised at how that can really make someone's day or impact them deeply.  If you have done a pay it forward, or been on the receiving end of it, share it here so others can be encouraged.

Love and Laughter,

Dawn
