paying it forward

Back in October I was the first to respond to a pay it forward post by Little Miss Can't Be Wrong. Which if you know either she or I or ever read both our blogs you would know we really like each other, okay well the truth is we love each other as best friend who have grown apart in life but, will always have the same heart and soul, basically.

She was inspired by some other bloggers' to start her very own pay it forward mini movement.

Paying it forward stems from a fictitious book by Catherine Ryan Hyde named Pay It Forward. The idea is to keep it simple by doing once nice thing for someone else in our blog community for no other reason than to make their day brighter.

So here are the rules:

1. The first 3 commentators on this post will be my three "Pay it Forward" recipients. Stipulation: You must have a blog to participate. (A Firefly rule because I'm not made of money: You must also live within the Continental US. Sorry, but I hope you understand.)

2. I will contact the 3 commentators to get their home address, and then ship out a fun little gift.

3. You must then be willing to host a "Pay it Forward" on your own blog for 3 blog commentators.

 I started thinking about the other simple ways we can pay it forward.

While searching google for possible ideas and themes to assist me in my quest I can across this gem of a post from 2009.

50 Simple Ways To Pay It Forward by Belinda Munoz at The Halfway Point..

Here are some of of my favorite everyday pay it forwards:

When walking through a parking lot towards a store and I see someone who is pretty much done emptying their cart I offer to take it back for them.

This act seems to be most loved on super cold days.

I like to make sure to say: Hello, Happy Holidays or some other sort of pleasant greeting to the Salvation Army bell ringers. I am not one who puts money in their buckets very much but,I do let Peanut when she is with me toss some change in. I think everyone avoids these poor charitable people for fear of feeling guilty of not donating but,

 I have never met a bell ringer who harassed anyone into donating.

I am also a chronic door holder. My father always held the door for all of his ladies and  almost everyone else. Now that I am older I would really  like once in awhile for him to let me hold the door for him but, he still has refused and kept his gentle manliness.

I am also looking forward to soon donating my hair to Locks of Love, again. I'm thinking at the end of the spring my hair crop will be ready. This next time will be my third time donating and it makes me feel great.

Here is my pay it forward sunshine from Little Miss Can't Be Wrong:



She wrote me that she thought the looked like a Francisco but,
thought Peanut might like to name him.

I'll let you know Little Miss Can't Be Wrong that Peanut agreed that that was a great name for him but, I warn you he might also go by about 50 others names

by the end of the week as most of her toys normally do.

Happy Wednesday!

xoxo
