Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Leaving Some Hand Salve for the Mail Carrier


--by luciernagadelbo1, posted Oct 17, 2018
Last Christmas, I gave my mail carrier some hand-made salve to keep her hands from getting so chapped delivering mail. She recently left me a note in my mailbox saying she "would love to buy some more of that great hand salve you gave me for Christmas".

I quickly made another batch and left a jar in my mailbox with a note to her and a Smile Card. I asked her to please allow me the thrill of gifting her some hand salve. And that whenever she needed more, just leave me an empty jar in my mailbox.

And then, I asked her to please help me to keep the energy of giving circulating by taking whatever amount she would have paid for some more hand salve and do some random act of kindness for someone.

She just left me another note in my mailbox saying how excited she is and how she has been thinking about what she might do. Thank you KindSpring for helping me circulate kindness here in rural Mississippi USA!
