That Time I Paid it Forward

Today I am grateful for an old man in polka dot swim trunks with an extra $20.

After driving an hour by myself I realized that I forgot my purse and even worse, had an empty gas tank. I decided to go to the beach to problem solve...as all life's problems can be solved at the beach.

At the same moment an old man with memorable shorts sat by me and began to chat. He talked about life for a quite a while...what he loved, what he didn't love and how he ended up on that beach, sitting next to me. He then began to ask questions, which is when I told him of my predicament. To which, he handed me $20 and asked me to #payitforward. I put the crisp 20 dollar bill in my tank and was able to make it back to my purse. Thank you kind sir.

Update: I was standing in line at the grocery store when the women in front of me forgot her wallet. I pulled out a $20 and helped her along her way.
