Pay It Forward: Really Live

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?

  2. It 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.
    Blessings,
    Goose

  4. 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.

  12.  Goose, 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!
