Our mailman!
We have a great mailman right now. He’s a young guy and he is just FULL of energy and good cheer.
He walks with a bounce, delivers packages in a speedy fashion, and takes the time to greet people on his route. If you are out walking while he’s driving by, you always get an enthusiastic wave and “Heyyyy!”
He’s so popular that some children in our neighborhood anxiously wait for him to come by each day because they want to see him.
Someone in our community Facebook group started a thread about him, and it was so great to see how our mail guy has touched the people who live here.
Anyway, every time I see him, I do end up smiling. His happy energy is just infectious.
And I hope he stays our mailman for a nice long time!
Who always brings a smile to your face?
P.S. I recently submitted a compliment for our mailman through the USPS site. If you’d like to leave a compliment for your USPS mail delivery person, click here.
There is a fellow who works in our post office whom we have nicknamed “Mr. Smiley.” He really is so pleasant encounter. He is also rather young, but I don’t know how young he actually is. (Now at 45, I’m finally understanding why my mother used to call 30-year-olds “young boys.”)
Haha, yes, so many people seem young once you get a few more birthdays under your belt!
We had the crabbiest mailman in the world up until a year or so ago. I get the feeling he was just waiting for retirement. I have yet to actually really meet our local mailman.
We have a great mail man too.
This Christmas, I gave him a Panera gift card as a “thank you,” and he wrote me a really nice thank you note on these cute thank you note cards that the Post Office has for mail carriers. It made my day to get his thank you note. 
There’s a boy at school who is just the most happy-go-lucky kid. He almost always makes me smile sometime during the day, just because he’s such a happy kid. It’s nice to see.
While most of our library staff make me smile on a regular basis, I’d have to say that Mr. Anthony (as my kids call him) makes us smile the biggest when we see him. He’s always excited to see us and makes us feel so welcome.
Thinking of just one is kind of hard. I’m so picky about whom I hang out with (introvert much?) that pretty much anyone I do talk to is someone who can make me smile.
One of the boys in my son’s class is pretty much the most helpful and happy kid I’ve ever met. I hope puberty doesn’t wipe that out of him, ha. He can make anyone happy, I swear.
I love that you included the link to officially compliment our mail carrier. Sherry, our gal, always has a smile as well and recognizes us and waves even when we cross her path in a completely different part of the neighborhood. And she keeps dog treats for the neighborhood dogs and candy for the kids. Definitely a blessing!
Wow- there are quite a few! And how good it is to actually focus on this instead of resenting someone or complaining!
Ivonne, my mail carrier is so amazing, I decided to go ahead and officially submit a compliment on the website for her. They don’t make it easy, or is it me? I kind of had to struggle through the forms, and then I just had to choose “helpful”, “courteous” or “professional”, and found nowhere to add details. She is all of those, and more. I hope they respond or contact me, so I can suggest improvements for their system, and give details on this great public servant! Of course we tip her at least once a year, but I want her supervisor to be aware of what a gem she is.
The lady at the library when she calls to tell me my books are ready for pick up. She is always so excited and upbeat about it. It makes me smile every time.
