26 Expressions of
Love and Kindness Plus 1
#4— Leave Your Mail
Carrier a Treat
Although
the postman's pledge might be "Neither rain, nor snow nor sleet nor gloom
of night stays these couriers from their appointed rounds," that does not
mean that your very human mail carrier suddenly becomes super human when he or
she dons the official uniform. In other
words, sometimes it is just plain miserable to be out in the weather delivering
mail, so do something very simple to put a smile on your postman.
It can be a
simple Ziplock sandwich bag with a little treat—homemade or store bought—clipped
with a clothes pin to your mailbox.
Maybe you can put a pack of hot chocolate (to be used after rounds) or
flavored tea bags in a decorated bag with tissue paper with a note on the
outside saying it is for your postman.
If you know his or her real name, then put that on it. Neither of these ideas may work in your
situation, but hopefully it will trigger an idea that will work for you.
It does not
have to be fancy or cost much. An
unexpected, simple expression of thanks and gratitude can put a positive touch
on an otherwise humdrum day and be received as a true expression of
appreciation and kindness.
