Pay If Forward

OK so this is a little different from my last post. IF any of you have not seen the movie Pay It Forward...You really should. It was an awesome movie. I was sitting here thinking wouldn't it be awesome, if people really did take this kids concept and do it. Do one good thing for three people that will help change a their life. And just tell them to pay you back by doing the same for three other people. The world has changed so much and people just don't have time to be nice anymore. I was driving home one afternoon and these kids were playing ball and the ball went into the street. I pulled my car over and gave the kids back the ball. And their mother looked like she was in shock. And all she kept saying to me was, that was really nice of you to do. When did life become so rushed that we don't have time to be polite.

Great movie...one of my favorites. From a different source, "How hard can it be to be kind?"

Enjoying your site.
