Friendly Acquaintances

"Well hey, stranger."
At this, I know my favorite postman is here. And I am excited to say hi.
I encounter mail services, UPS and FedEx every day, and I have my favorite carriers from each domain.

The man from mail services may be the friendliest person I encounter all day. Whenever he enters the office he asks me how I am, and when I reciprocate, he responds, "Oh, doing well." My mood always lifts when I see him simply because he is so cheerful and friendly.

My favorite UPS carrier is equally awesome and together we share a countdown to Friday each week.
"See you later, bye!" he says without fail as he rounds the corner out of the office.

I don't actually know any of their names, but I always smile when I see them. Carrying heavy mail, making long rounds, and always friendly.

Being friendly toward an acquaintance, even for a few seconds. An awesome act of kindness.
