If you want to see the magic of the holidays, watch this video of unsuspecting shoppers suddenly having their entire grocery purchases paid for.

Has anything like this ever happened to you?

Have you every done something like this for someone else?

I was having lunch with a guy named Jim on Thursday last week.  We went to Leo's, right across the street from the radio station.  Now, I already know that Jim is a great guy, but when he told our waitress to put the meal of the soldiers that were sitting near us on his tab, it was really hard not to hug him.  ...and I was just a spectator in the whole thing.

"Pay it forward" is an amazing concept.  But, don't wait for someone to do something amazing for you.  I challenge you (and myself) to do something amazing for an unsuspecting someone today.

Big. Small. It doesn't matter.

Buy someone's coffee.  Help an elderly person across the street.  Clear the ice off someone's windshield or sidewalk.

We really do have a lot to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving.
