Today as I was looking through Pinterest to find fun things to do with my son I came across this one http://ticklestogiggles.blogspot.com/2010/05/my-birthday-was-awesome.html?m=1 and I LOVE IT!!! In fact, I'm such a big believer of this I've done pay it forward days of my own. When I paid it forward my son and I simply went to Starbucks which we love to do for breakfast on occasion and bought the persons drink in the car behind us in the drive thur line plus put a $5 tip (which I never do) in the container for the employees. It was so rewarding and the woman actually tried to get next to us and stick the coffee out the window saying cheers and many thanks for starting off my day with a smile!!!
Both random acts of kindness and paying it forward are wonderful ways to impact a person! It really doesn't take a lot of money or a ton of time to help in even the smallest way! I especially like to help our local community because lots of times I am angered at large non profits for their misuse of funds when for instance they send us a dime, penny, quarters even, and I've even heard of dollars so you will send it back to them plus some. I'm not sure how their accountant even allows that to happen but it does so often!! I ended up taking those funds and putting them with my favorite non profit the American Cancer Society so thank you other organization for contributing to the organization of my choice!
Anyway, I just had to share this today because I love doing community service and hope to pass that on to my child too!!!
