Nice touch of an act of random kindness at the post office this morning. Needed an extra large Priority Mail shipping box and a roll of heavy duty strapping tape. During the transaction, postal counter person Jennifer gave me an update on her mom's auto accident recovery status. Few minutes later, in the car about to drive home, a young black lady opens the post office door and makes a beeline toward my car with the box I'd left on the floor leaning against the counter. Thanked her and said, "Nicest thing that's happened to me this week so far". We laughed. She turned back to wave as she went on her way.
