Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Tidying Up At The Post Office


--by cabbage, posted Jul 19, 2017
I was in the post office today 'after hours' when just the lobby is open and no one is there. I went there to mail smile card orders and some cards. After completing the transaction of mailing the packages of smile cards, I noticed that there was a lot of recyclable trash lying around (papers, envelopes, labels, etc.) and disarray of lots of the packaging materials (boxes, envelopes), so I spent about 10-15 minutes cleaning up the whole place, neatly stacking the envelopes etc. and putting things in the recycling or trash.

No one else was there, so it didn't feel strange to be tidying up! I also left behind one of our "bumper stickers" that we put in the smile card orders (They are ones with a suggestion of how to use smile cards, and ideas for RAOK) in a place where people will see it! It felt really good, and I can't help but think that it was the very act of shipping the smile cards that inspired me to do that.
