Pay it forward

By Mike Hall, December 25, 2016

A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.

John Ruskin

A very young cowboy is third in the drive thru line at Starbucks.

I place my usual order of a ‘large hot chocolate…skim milk…no whipped cream.’ The nice young lady opens the window as I reach to give her my gift card. She says, ‘no worries, the car in front of you paid for you.’

I said, ‘how nice, then I’ll just treat the car behind me.’

‘That will be $39.65 sir.’

Live and learn.
