Pay It Forward Facebook Post Sends Wonderful Message

If you are on Facebook, chances are pretty good that you see a lot of what people are eating, dirty laundry being aired, weather comments, and what people are doing at any given moment.  Once in a while inspiring content pops up and that's what I gravitate to and like to share.  Below is a post that popped up on my Facebook page a couple of times and I love the concept!  See if you agree...

"To start this year off in a loving way I'm participating in this Pay-It-Forward initiative. The first five people who comment on this status with "I'm in" will receive a surprise from me at some point in the calendar year- anything from a book, a card, a visit, something home grown or made, a card, a ticket, absolutely some kind of surprise! There will be no warning and it will happen when the mood comes over me and I find something I believe will suit you and make you happy....

These five people must make the same offer in their FB status and distribute their own joy. Simply copy this text onto your status (don't share) so we can form a web of connections and kindness.

Let's do more nice and loving things for each other in 2014, without any reason other that to make each other smile and to show that we think of each other. Here's to a more enjoyable, more friendly and love-filled year!"

Are you wondering like me, if those that post that message will follow through on their promise? I don't think it's an easy one to keep, but maybe it's enough to have such a wonderful intention and spread the word?  I certainly think that Facebook needs more content like this and less random, pointless content.
