"In a world like this, you pay it
forward, 'cause more than likely you didn't deserve it when you got it the
first time."
~ Mindy McGinnis
A woman I
know has a penchant for pens. They don't
have to be expensive pens. At a recent
bank visit, there was a purple pen at the teller's station. She remarked on it to the teller, who told
her that she could have it. It made her
very happy and she left the bank delighted with her purple pen. Just thinking about the pen and the teller's
having given it to her made her smile. A
couple of hours later, she was at a fast food drive-thru getting a couple of
items for her children. As she was
paying at the window, she heard the cashier tell the car behind her how much
the meal was. She decided to pay for the
other meal. Why not, she figured. The teller had given her something to smile
about. She might as well pay it
forward. As she drove off, she heard the
car behind her give her what sounded like a friendly beep beep. She imagined that person would be paying it
forward, too.
