Pay it forward.

So this morning bright and very early, I managed to go to Wal-Mart for some grocery shopping before the storm hit. It was quiet pleasant, nobody was there yet. I actually got to "play" and not just get in and get out.
Well I went all over Wal-Mart and towards the end of my adventure, my cart started to make a horrible noise! So I decided it was time to go and made my way to the check out. As I am standing in line I remembered I forgot eggs..Needless to say with my cart situation and that the eggs are in the very back of the store, I will have to get eggs somewhere else.

So as I am standing in line there was a nice older women that was talking to me about how nice her adventure was today at Wal-Mart. She was precious!

My bill came to around $80.00, I paid with a $100.00 and had $20.00 left over. I told the gentleman behind the check out to apply my "change" to her bill. When I left, I just told her Merry Christmas! It was the best feeling. This curiousity of "paying it forward" may have planted a seed with me. I am curious as to what will grow from it. I know its the holiday season and this might have caused me to help her out, but I feel it is bigger than that.

The very funny part of this whole thing is, I got home and was missing my stew meat!! So not only did I help her out money wise but I will bet that she ended up with my stew meat also!! I hope I made her day! She was a sweet lady and we need more of them in this old world!

So , I will leave you with this , Pay it Forward!!
