Dear Jenski,
Happy New Year!
I am the lady that you gave your BB&B coupons to. I just wanted you to know how much I appreciated that act of kindness. You saved me alot [sic] of money. It was the Christmas season and you definitely spread your Christmas cheer! Thank you! :-)

I had this Thank You card in the mailbox on Saturday. I think the woman must have noted my address on the coupons. I got the warm fuzzy feeling all over again for doing something so easy to make someone happy. Seriously all I did was walk to my car and grab coupons while she held my stuff!
This weekend, I shoveled all around my downstairs neighbors' cars after a couple of inches of snow and their walk way. When I came home later, they had spread extra salt all over, including on the walk to my stairs. Neither of them are particularly in shape, in any stretch of the word. I am happy to save them a shoveling-induced heart attack in exchange for more exercise on my part and salted walkways!
"Pay" it forward, even in simple nice acts. It does come back to make you feel good about yourself all over again.
