Week 28 - Paying it Forward

Having recently read the novel Pay it Foward, years after seeing the movie, I was on the lookout to commit a "random act of kindness". While still choosing a kind deed, while in Vancouver, I was given a ticket to a Vancouver Canadians baseball team by an elderly gentleman who happened to have an extra.

Fast forward to last Friday at Bluesfest, where due to a friend buying a pass for the festival, two other people backing out, and another person being afraid of a little rain, I found myself in the possession of an extra ticket. Along the Ottawa River Parkway, music lovers listen to the shows outside the fence. I decided to 'pay it forward' by giving one such individual my extra ticket. It felt great to bring a smile to someone's face, and help make their day. This was definitely one of my favourite weeks yet :)
