Breakfast Date

I met my fantastic friend Margaret this morning for an awesome Breakfast Date!

I met this beautiful lady through 4H just over 2 years ago (seems like we’ve know each other much longer). Her 4 kids were part of the 4H club that John & I helped with and we just connected on a wicked energy level right away.

We enjoyed our chat and enjoyed the Casino Lethbridge’s $4.95 Breakfast Special (cheap & fantastic)!

As we got our money together to pay, I realized that we were about to leave a really big tip. I make a point of tipping at least 15% if not 20%, however we had $7 out for the waiter on a $12 bill.

Margaret smiled and reminded me, “We’re paying it forward!”

I absolutely agreed. Then Margaret gave me a funny look; I could tell she had a “on second thought” going through her mind and blurted out TODAY is Pay It Forward Day! She recalled receiving a message about it from her sister. I didn’t know such a day existed – but wasn’t surprised – especially after I learned about National Clean Off Your Desk Day.

Margaret and I reflected on random times when we had paid it forward spontaneously by paying for the coffee for people in the drive thru line behind us and other examples.

After I got back to my office – I discovered that it is indeed International Pay It Forward Day – the last Thursday in April. SO cool!

Now, I’m scheming how I can continue to celebrate today – April 29th!

What have you done to pay it forward OR had done to you today OR another day??

Live Inspired,
Robyn

P.S. REMEMBER to enter the Hide Your Straps contest – the deadline is tomorrow (Friday) night!
