What a beautiful day in the Park today, and what a lovely thing happened: I was out for a quick walk, and the cold water a lady was hawking on the sidewalk sounded good. All i had was a $20 and she had no change. Just take it, she offered. Naw! I said. She insisted and I accepted. Thanked her and started to walk away, stopped and gave her the $20. Really?! She said. Pay it forward, I said. Made both our days. #payitforward #centralpark #afternoonwalk #bethesdaterrace
