A small act of "Pay it forward"....

As I was unloading my buggy of groceries and kids at Wal-mart today, a woman came up to me. She said that she makes it a point to everyday do something nice for a stranger. She asked if she could take my buggy back inside for me since she said it seemed I had my hands full. Now mind you, I have done this before, but usually when I needed the buggy anyway. Which was not the case because this was one of those huge buggies with the attachment on the front for kids to sit in. NO ONE in their right mind would push these unless they had too. By "had too" I mean screaming kids saying "NOOOOOOO MOMMY, I WANT THAT BUGGY". You then give in because it's just not worth the fight. This lady took my buggy from the back of Wal-mart parking lot all the way to the front, put it in line, and then got her own buggy. Even Austin was impressed. He kept saying "wow mommy, that lady sure was nice". I told him that yes she was very nice. He then preceded to say "I think I will make her my girl, but I just don't know how old she is"!! LOL. What this had to do with the situation, only he knows. Anyway just thought I would post this because it really made me think about what she said about helping strangers. And even though it was a simple act it really did help me out a great deal!!! What a great thing to aspire to do everyday. Maybe I'll give it a try!!!
