So, my friends, are you ready to start August with a smile on your face? I certainly hope so, because here are three stories of good things that have happened in the past month.

Customers paid for drivers behind them for two hours straight in Mississippi.
This story is probably my personal favorite of the month. You might have seen it on my Facebook page or Twitter feed. At a drive-through restaurant in Mississippi, customers paid for drivers behind them for two straight hours.
Seventy-nine customers in total participated in the pay-it-forward at Taco Sombrero in Gulfport on Monday, each driver paying for the order behind them in the drive-thru line.
The restaurant’s owner wrote on Facebook: “In a world where you can be anything be kind….we thank you …Each and every customer! We love our customers! We hope this story will lift one up and inspired to find their own way to pay it forward!”
