SPREADING HOLIDAY CHEER
LEAVE a SURPRISE for YOUR MAIL
CARRIER
FOOD BOX item:
CAN of GREEN BEANS
Postal employees work hard during this time of year. Mail carriers try to finish their route promptly but there are times it can’t be done. A few years ago my carrier delivered all the mail that fit in the mailbox; packages he came back to deliver later that afternoon or I should say evening. I waited for him with a gift bag containing cookies; little bags of pretzels and two bottles cold water (it’s Florida where I live). He appeared grateful for the surprise. I found out a few days later he missed lunch so the pretzels tided him over as well as having a cold drink. This was not a normal day for him. It seemed he had more packages to deliver than usual. We tend to, or some of us do, take our mail carrier for granted. We expect them to deliver our mail daily and in time. To some of us they are just another fixture in the neighborhood. No matter the weather they are out doing their job.
Take a moment to appreciate them this year with a surprise. You just might be making a bad day a bit better.
Until tomorrow....have a great Monday
Tomorrow....buy an ugly sweater for a family member.
