It is so true.
Be nice. Pay It Forward.
Yesterday, as I drop off DD at Pre-K, a friend is dropping off her DD. Told her I had the day off and was planning on shopping. No place real exciting. But I added that I was going to go out for breakfast. Her eyes lit up so I said "Wanna come along?". So we went together. And it was great to be able to chat without two 5-year olds going "Mom" "mom" "MOM".....
When the bill came, I said I'd treat. Consider it a Mother's Day gift (besides the 5 year old, she is expecting in about 8 weeks and has had a very hard pregnancy).
Today, I go to lunch with another friend. We split a pizza and have salads. When it's time to pay, she says she's got it. So I said "Is this my mother's day gift?" and she said yes.
So remember to treat others nice and get nice treatment in return.

being on the receiving end of the breakfast.. I would have to agree that is was wonderful and very thoughtful..
Paying it forward is a great reminder for everyone..
I did a little paying it forward myself today and while it hasn't paid off yet, it will..
thanks for the breakfast & positive reminder that not all the world is out to get you..
being on the giving end of the lunch I also agree it is wonderful to be able to do something nice for someone who even though she has mommy brain remembers to do something special for me, like driving us to lunch so I get back to work in time :), remembering the dolly when she has 2 million other things going on and just because she is there whenever I need her.
