Oh, this is just a feel-good act of kindness! I just love the thought of kind and caring people roaming our streets daily.

I came across this story which simply gave me the feels. It's a story that has inspired me and showed the true good nature of the citizens of KZN. According to Times Live, Amy and Mark Bernard are a couple from Durban who recently celebrated their first year of marriage. 

They decided to treat themselves to a three-course anniversary dinner at an Umhlanga restaurant, even though they were cash-strapped.

However, the Bernards experienced something so miraculous and inspiring after their dining experience. When they called to pay for their bill, they were told by their waitress that an anonymous couple had paid for their bill and even tipped their waitress.

Amy took to Facebook to post a picture of the note that was left by the anonymous couple, which read: 'Thank you for bringing your light forth for the world to see. May fortune favour you both in your endeavours.'

I love how the couple who paid for the bill did it undercover, without doing it for the glory or the attention.

Paying it forward is such a warm and wonderful thing to do. I hope this inspires you to pay it forward in your own way possible.
