Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
3/13: gift coffee
We order coffee from Grounds for Change and have it delivered to our in-town box at PakMail. The women who work at PakMail often comment on how good the coffee packages smell, so we ordered extra packages for them. When they handed me our mail, I was able to hand some back to them and say, "Actually, these are for you." It was something I had thought about doing for quite some time, but I had been too shy, worrying that they would think I was odd. Well, I am odd. And I'm glad I finally did it.
I think, it is not odd, it is a very kind thing to do. And it probably made the women there smile :)
ReplyDeleteThey were very happy, and it felt nice to give them a surprise!
