Yesterday I had a nice experience at the gas pump...
I was in scrubs and had just finished gassing up. A lady knocked on my car window, gave me a roll of small trash bags to use for handling gas pumps, and thanked me for being a health care worker. It's nice to be appreciated. The smallest gesture can matter when someone is tired and had a rough week/month/year.

10. Cold water for the USPS Letter Carrier
Right below the mailbox on my covered front porch, I have a small styrofoam cooler which I load with a couple bottles of water and an ice pack Monday - Saturday. There's a note on the mailbox saying how much I appreciate their work, and to please take a bottle for now, and another one for later. (S/he usually delivers right before noon, as the heat index is approaching 100).

11. I guarantee that's appreciated!
There are so many ways we can show kindness and Lord! People really need some kindness right now. Life is so lonely and desperate feeling!
