2013 Paying it Forward

So today on Facebook I posted a 2013 challenge to pay it forward. This allowed five of my friends to sign up for a special treat from me in the year to come. It could be a call to a far away friend or a lovely warm muffin with coffee on a lazy morning. It's really fun but it got me thinking, it's easy to do a kind act for a friend but what I really love is a random act of kindness for a stranger!
Towards the end of this past summer I was at a drive thru picking up my weekly usual, grits and a biscuit, I asked the girl at the windows if the car behind me had an order under ten bucks (that's what I had on me) . Well they did. So I paid for their order. I didn't share this with anyone and I'm not sharing it now to look good in anyone's eyes but just to tell you how AWESOME I felt the whole day thinking maybe I spread some love! Maybe that stranger behind me smiled more that day just knowing someone out there cares. MAYBE they passed it on too. So this year I'm thinking Pass It On cards... Five of them. Do the deed, pass the card. Write the location of where it starts and maybe see where it goes. I don't know, I'm just thinking these cards could travel the world in a year! So to my five friends who said "pick me" I've got fun plans!! But, to commit to kindness to a stranger is really going to fill me with some joy this year.
