Paying it forward?
So in my attempt to do something thoughtful every day I had an experience this morning I felt was totally worth sharing! While running to the store to drop off a prescription I decided to swing by Starbucks for my morning cup of coffee. Looking in my rear view mirror I saw the woman behind me digging for change. It inspired me to do something thoughtful for her. Paying for her order i asked the cashier to please tell the woman to have a good day, and drove off. Walking into the store to get my prescription this car pulls up beside me and i see the woman from the coffee shop. She stopped her car, got out and gave me a hug! My small gesture of meant so much to her, and she wanted me to know that she then paid for the order behind her! Totally made my day! I also started reading Pride and Prejudice, using my Rosetta Stone (Spanish edition), and found a room to host my tea party in! I'm thinking of letting the girls decorate these adorable little felt tea cups with felt stickers and glitter glue. Okay... so maybe I already bought the stuff to make all the felt tea cups! I couldn't help it, it was too cute! The fun part about this challenge is seeing the daily effort that is required to make some of these happen! I am also starting to see where this is beginning to effect all aspects of my life. I am beginning to look at each situation differently and evaluating what is truly important to me. That is something I hadn't expected at all actually. I figured sure.. I'm gonna have some funny stories, maybe a couple of cute photos to go with it. Why not go for it and have a good time, right? But seeing how involved my loved ones have become and the way this is expanding my thoughts and feeling on my personal relationships is a bit of a shock. Dare I say that this is changing me? Only time will truly tell but I feel in my heart that I am on the right path and off to a really great start!
