While Reading Blog Posts

Hi everyone I hope everyone is doing good.

I am not sure why I feel this is neccessary to share with you tonight, but it has been sitting on my mind and I feel I need to.

For about the past couple of hours I have been going through and reading blogs that I tucked away for a time like now. Basically a change give my brain a little break.

However, as I was reading them I came accross one, no it was not bad in any size shape or form. But more towards how someone has had a rough life but they remembered all they people who have been there to help.

Well for whatever reason reading this blog in particular, my whole past has come rushing back to me running through me like a freight train. (Except the of course the parts that was so bad that still to this day I can not remember). For a moment of course I became overwhelmed.

But I took a deep breath brushed this away and kept reading. Then all of them great moments of people who have helped me big and small (including all of you) came rushing back.

And I am thankful for all who have helped but it reminded me of one great awe inspiring moment I want to share with you. It really is a simple act of kindness but it had a major impact on me.

If you have read my bio I am sure you know I am a single mother so I do understand what is it to struggle. Well of course this is one of those hard times and money was tight.

I pulled up to a gas pump one day on the way to see my mom. I had went into prepay for my gas, I told them $10.00 with a decent smile. I walked out and started pumping my gas. As I was almost done this very young girl I would say early 20's probably a college student came bouncing out of the store part.

Next think I know she is trying to get my attention, Mamm Mamm, after I realized she was talking to me I looked up and just as I did she smiled real big at me and she had started to walk away but as she was walking away, she said you can go ahead and put another $5.00 in your tank.

Of course I was completely shocked and said what, in which she repeated herself and then sorry I couldn't do more. I somehow managed to utter a Thank you out of my complete and utter shock.

And all she said is your welcome pay it forward.

This left a huge impression on me. Such a young lady and so thoughtful now she had no way of knowing how perfect the timing was. But she left a great impression with me.

So I have 2 final thoughts with this mix.

First even small actions can leave a huge impression so be nice and try to do something nice because you never know how much that may be needed.

And second is to do with my bad memories I mentioned above. I know that none of you probably know all of my past. But it has been very hard. However, the one saying that has kept me going and I have seen proof of it is, You may have it bad but someone always has it worse. So keep your head up and make it better.

Which is what I am doing!

Thank you for everyone who reads this and I hope it helps you in some way.
