Paying It Forward

What did you have for lunch today? I had my favorite salad at Zaxbys. And, yes, I ate the Texas Toast.

But this time, when I was at the drive-thru window, ready to pay, I interrupted the girl as she was rattling off my order and told her I wanted to pay for the car behind me. She stopped and smiled, really looking at me - in the eye. I'm hoping she saw something different.

I gave her the extra cash for both orders. As she handed me my food I gave her only one instruction, 'Please wish her Merry Christmas for me.'I rolled up my window, drove off with a big smile, and knew that was the best $5.41 I could have spent all day.
