We write about paying it forward a lot here at See Beautiful (every Friday actually). When we came across this photo it sparked a different sort of pay it forward reminder for us. Doing something for someone who can never, ever pay you back is beautiful. That "something" might be a simple gesture. It could also be a grand gesture. Either way it's beautiful and opens the door to making this world a much more beautiful place.
How will you pay it forward this weekend?

AMEN!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTouche!
ReplyDeleteIt is both a beautful thing to be the receiver as well as the giver. When you know that the receiver in no way can "pay you back" it is the purest form of beauty. Today I will let little Willa play and have one of my toys. She loves toys but she does not get very many. She will lover it and I am not even going to tell her it was me. Can't wait to see the excitement on her face.

You guys know, by now, how much you inspire me. I saw this image this morning, http://data.whicdn.com/images/5616269/4985090748_3beb9eb289_z_large.jpg
ReplyDeleteand thought of you. Thank you for changing my eyes so that everything I see is now beautiful.Peace and good,Chelle
Oh, that's a great sign. I guess my pay it forward this weekend is dealing with difficult people or family members by taking the high road and not falling for the verbal baits set to create drama. I've always been nice, even if that means not always expecting that back.
ReplyDeleteSuch a powerful message ... going to reflect on this one on how I can incorporate right now. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! It's the true meaning of paying it forward. You guys are fantastic and I love everything you guys are doing to not only pay it forward but also "see beautiful" .
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ross. That means a lot. We're "all in" when it comes to making the world a more beautiful place. We know you are too. Happy seeing beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Becky. We know you're already incredibly inspiring and thoughtful in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteYou've hit the nail on the head. I think sometimes we miss that this way of paying it forward can be extended to those closest to us. It's beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing!! Happy seeing beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAW, Chelle, this is so beautiful! It means so much that you thought of See Beautiful when you saw that picture. We'll have to figure out how to share that. Thank you! This just made our day. Happy seeing beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You're always doing wonderful things like this on your blog. We're happy to be a part of that "seeing beautiful" mentality too. Happy seeing beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGoose, that is SSSSSOOOOOOOO sweet of you! I want to send Willa toys! Every puppy should have more than they know what to do with - well, this is just our humble opinion - others might disagree. Makes us smile just thinking about Willa! Happy seeing beautful, friend!
ReplyDeleteIf there weren't so many words, I think I'd like to have this tatoo'd on my body as a reminder!!!! Love, love, love.
