Just before this past Christmas a fellow Tim Horton's-lover paid for my ice cap addiction in the drive thru :)
I was in disbelief when the cashier said my order was paid for by the car in front of me. Really?? People do that? I later found out that, yes, people frequently 'pay it forward' around the Holidays.
Well, in my state of 'shock' - I drove away sipping my ice cap with a smile...but later realized I forgot to 'pay it forward' to the car behind me.
It was on my list of to-do's...seriously it was.
But I kept forgetting.
Finally a couple of weeks ago I remembered...and had the wonderful opportunity to tell the Tim Horton's cashier that I would like to pay for the next car's order.
What a fabulous feeling that was!
It was merely a hot chocolate that I paid for...but my hope was that the lady behind me enjoyed her order with an extra big smile that day :)
With Spring finally here and everyone in a fabulous mood - do yourself a favour and 'pay it forward'.
Whether it be through coffee (who wouldn't love that!) or doing something thoughtful for someone...anyone - your thoughtfulness will not go unnoticed.
And if you can put a smile on someone's face (even if you're not there to see it), it'll be totally worth it to 'Pay it Forward!' :)
