I'm a big believer in pay-it-forward. You never know when the person you help out with just a minute of your time or perhaps a dollar or two helps someone else out who eventually helps you out... all because you helped someone. You just might make someone's day a little brighter just by saying "good morning." You may never know the good you have truly done, but you won't be worse off for it!
Once again, I am struggling until payday. I had $2 to my name and needed gas. Gas here is ridiculous, we're talking upwards of $4.50/gallon. I went to the gas station and told the attendant to put in $2. He looked at me, smiled, and put in $5. :redpinkhe. I asked him what he was doing and he said to me, "It's OK. One day you will help me." You bet I will.There are some kind people out there. This guy is one of them :redbeathe I cannot tell you folks in cyberland how grateful I felt for this mans act of kindness. :redbeathe He is an angel and because of him I can make it in to work tomorrow. He did not even think twice about helping me out. That right there is true kindness. I am tearing up as I type this.
I guess my point for those of you who are feeling beaten and worn down, there is kindness in the world. I too was feeling depressed and stressed out. Money woes are the worst of my problems. I know our jobs can be thankless and heartbreaking but hang in there. It is times like these that the saying: "You reap what you sow" come to mind.
Thanks for letting me share my story. May you all have a fantastic life and plow ahead.
Loved waking up to this! Peace!
