Pay it forward
So I have never seen the movie "Pay it Forward" but I thought of it the other night when a really nice guy helped me out. I was trying to leave the Gateway parking structure and was parked by the exit. There was a really long line of cars, so I thought I'd try to butt in from my parking spot instead of driving all around and waiting in the long line. This guy saw me and waved me in. I kinda felt guilty, but was so relieved. So then I got up to the toll booth, and gave the lady my validations. Well apparently you can only use one at a time, and my remaining total was $3. I only had one dollar, and was panicking. After a minute or two, the same guy that let me in ran up and paid my $3! I waved and started driving away. I was feeling guilty that this man was so nice to me and I had no way to repay or thank him. So I decided that the only way I could would be to do the same thing for someone else. Now I'm all excited about it! Hopefully I get an opportunity to be nice to someone and make their day like he made mine.

If you haven't seen that movie, I think you should. It is really good! Also you should listen to a song by Clay Walker called the Chain of Love. CUTE!!
I think you should see the movie, too. One of my favorites & very touching. I really do think about it all the time when people are nice to me or if I see a good deed being done.
