Pay It Forward

Okay, so I know I didn't post this weekend, or the first two days of the week. And there is really no true excuse other than I really didn't have anything that I wanted to get out enough to share with everyone. I had a lot of emotions running through me, and wasn't sure what to put down on "paper" so I just decided it best not to write. But, as I Lent continues, I continue to hold strong to my doing good things. I decided to go to work early today because I have nothing better to do after I drop off Alayna at school. Because I was early I figured, why not grab a nice cup of coffee and see if my manager wanted some. I decided, on me, be nice, bring in some coffee. Well I get to the person at the window to pay and she tells me, "Ma'am the gentleman in front of you took care of your order.". So instead of being like old Bethany could be, I decided to say, "I'll pay for the person behind me then!". And then after seeing the price was significantly different I decided to put a large amount in the tip jar. 

So my lesson to all of you today, is to pay it forward. I heard that apparently this is a common thing in the Starbucks drive thru line, but I have never been through the drive thru before, so it was a tad different. But I think it should be done in more places. I know when Hayden has gone out for his monthly meetings with the NCO's they often have someone pay for their tab, simply because they are in uniform. But the gesture is truly from the heart. 

Today, do something from the heart. Pay it forward to someone else. 

On another, much different note, I had my first Reiki and Meditation session last night. It was incredible to say the least. The people there are incredible and I have never felt more focused than I am now. It's almost like I can see so much more clear. It was a beautiful thing, and a connection that was incredible. And the people were so......relatable. I was so terrified that I wouldn't fit in, or that it would be strange, but we were all in this meditation circle for the same thing. And it truly was something beautiful. I found myself in tears when I woke from meditation (which apparently is very normal). It was so incredible. I really don't have any other words for it. But if it is something that you have been looking into, I strongly recommend it!

So all in all my lesson for you today is pay it forward, and be open to new things and change in your life. I was, and have never been more grateful in my life. Enjoy your day everyone!
