pay it forward

today at work, I had a lady return a product that was $150 worth of skin care and inside I was mad that it was going to take me that much longer to make up this money but thank goodness i did not let my emotions show, we got to talking and she proceeded to share with me that heer ex husband was a jerk and did not pay for his child support this month and he needed clothes and so on , she began to cry and talked of her frusteration and said sometimes I just wish I could do something for myself so I thought to myself what could I do to give her a little light to her day.. we have extra coupons so I gave her one and with that she got a free body lotion I know it wasnt much, but to her in that moment it was like a million bucks... I said to her, I wish i could do more for you but pamper yourself for just a moment, she cried and said I dont know what to say but thank you i just told her "pay it forward"... it makes you realize you never know what is going on in another persons life and it takes two seconds to be kind and the way it makes you feel is better than anything.
so it was a good day
