Pay It Forward
[image error]So I was watching my schmaltzy Christmas movies the other night, and I saw the Liberty Mutual commercial where the woman sees a guy doing something nice and in turn does something for someone else who goes on to do a nice thing for another person and the positive acts go forward until the whole thing comes full circle.
I love this commercial. Mainly because I think that in the hustle bustle of our busy lives we often forget how much the little things matter. Opening a door for someone. Giving up your seat on the bus to someone older or more frail. Smiling at the harried person behind the counter at your diner, drug store, department store…whatever. Saying "thank-you". Or "excuse me". Taking the extra minute to do whatever it is that makes another person's day—even if that person is a stranger.
You never know when some little thing that you do will have an impact long after you've forgotten all about it. It's the little things that count. Seriously. So go and share a smile with a stranger. It'll make you feel good, and who knows it might give someone the idea to pass it on.
So what have you done lately to pay it forward?
Speaking of good will – don't forget that one lucky commentor is going to win a Kindle from the Whine Sisters on January 1st!
