Pay it Forward continued

Okay, here is my opinion on how Pay it Forward works. When you feel inspired to do something nice for someone else (wether you know them or not) and expect nothing in return. It's a game in which there are no losers. Your action is a mirror for your emotion of gratitude. You are grateful for what you have and are, so you share it with others. It is when you act on the whisper telling you to smile at a perfect stranger, give the waitress a bigger tip, assisting a mom with getting all her groceries to her car. Because we have all had a day where we feel we are on our last rope and one persons acted on that whisper to help us in some small way, we were able to regain a stronger hold.
The difference between Paying it Forward and doing a good deed is that with Pay it Forward (when doing it correctly) you do it at the spur of the moment. A good deed is something you have thought about and planned. Example: I am going to buy someone a soda today vs. you see a stranger standing in line at the grocery store counting his/her money to see if they have enough money to pay for the loaf of bread and milk they are carrying. You hear the whisper of help them out. You act on that whisper, walk away with the feeling and knowlege that maybe you helped them out in some small way. Having no thought or judgement of how they will react to your helping them out.
Again this is only my opinion.

Gratitude

Do you ever have one of those days were you realize how lucky you are? I am having one of those days. I have a wonderful, loving & understanding (not to mention "HOT") husband, my children are caring, smart and creative, my friends are amazing, my siblings are patient and supportive. My home is my haven. "Betty" keeps us safe when we are on the road, and I am healthy, wealthy ( in so many ways) and learning. I love it. My heart is full of gratitude, for all those people who have helped me become who am I. Thank You!!!!!!
I surrender & trust
