So, I was on my way to work Friday morning at about 6 am when I went through the Tim Horton's drive thru. I was teaching an orientation class at work that day and figured that I'd pick up some donuts for everyone and a coffee for myself. I ordered, and then drove up to the window where the young woman told me that my order was paid for by the person in front of me. My order was about $8 and I have to admit that it really made my day. I was told by the girls at the drive thru that the person who paid for my order said to "pay it forward."
I waited by the window for the next person and just my luck no one came! So, tomorrow I am working on a volunteer project with my work and I am determined to pay it forward so that someone else can feel like I did that morning. It was a small gesture, but it made my day. It reminded me that there are nice people in this world who do decent things for no reason other than to be kind. So, even though no one reads this blog and I simply do it to put my thoughts into writing, I wish this person the best as their gesture made me remember how important it is to stop and do something for some one else.
