This past weekend was my Daughter's 8th Birthday!! We decided to head to TORONTO and take in a BLUE JAY GAME! Their FIRST game!! Kids were excited! We were excited! We got tickets in the 100 level! I wanted to be close enough for the kids to see it all!! Didn't realize that the kids would be melting during the hottest weekend of the year!! Roof was open!! I was glad that we had sunblock and they all had baseball hats!! I swear, as Hubby put it, "we were wearing smog screen"...a combination of smog and sun screen! We made the decision to leave at the 6th inning, and head to a local AIR CONDITIONED restaurant for LIBATIONS and some food! BUT the kids LOVED IT!! Didn't care for the cost of the BEER! Or for the cost of the slice of PIZZA! But then I'm sure the man in front of us didn't care for the splash of cold water on his back!! Kids will be kids!! BUT we loved all the action that the city had to offer!!
I gotta say....there are some great people out there!! It was the weekend of paying it forward! We know this gentleman will probably never read this blog, but we are sending a HUGE THANK YOU to him!! We took the GO Train into the city...just to avoid the hassle of traffic and PAN AM GAMES!! While waiting to get tickets...a man approached Hubby and started to talk about these tickets to the PAN AM GAMES...in my mind I'm thinking, "I don't think so Buddy, keep moving!!" Turns out, he wanted to give us the tickets to save on the price of the train ride! He has raised a young family and knows how hard it is do these special occasions. The expense of it all!! We never saw him again! BUT we will definitely pay it forward!!
On the Sunday, while at our favourite coffee spot...OK, Tim Horton's...again, it was pay it forward!! SO Hubby paid for the coffee behind him!! It's amazing...in today's society how cruel one human can be to another. And then, a random act of kindness, restores your faith in humanity. There are good people out there, and there are more and more everyday, doing acts of goodness! Can you imagine if we all did one kind act a day....what an impact it would have, here on earth!
PS. To the person who mailed me a movie, Philomena....you made me question myself and my sanity! Did I order this movie and forget about it!? But I didn't!! I'm pretty sure I didn't!! LOL!
So THANK YOU very much! Paying it forward will live on.....
