Over Christmas break, I decided I would make cookies for friends and local business friends. My mom and I tried different recipes: chocolate with marshmallows and peppermint, sugar with M&Ms on top, and the favorite classic chocolate chip.
After delivering them here and there, we had leftovers. Before leaving the house one day, we spotted our mailman and decided to share with him! As he handed our mail to me, I gave him the cookies. His eyes grew wide, his teeth shone bright, and he gleamed with excitement.
You can learn a lot from others if you take the time to listen. Turns out, out sweet mail carrier is a veteran and cook. After talking for a couple of minutes, we parted, but told each other we'd keep in touch through mail, believe it or not!
Doing for others is such a blessing, even if it's just sharing your smile with them or picking up something they dropped. You never know the impact you can make, or the friendship you could have!
All this being said, I wanted to highlight the mail carriers of the world. They travel through good and bad weather to bring packages and mail to Y O U. While this is their job, they serve the community while they work. Some keep watch over their community, watching for suspicious visitors and seeking to keep their neighborhoods in top shape.
Next time you see your mail carrier, leave a thank you in your mailbox for them! This shows you are appreciative of all they do, and may even bring a smile to their faces.
