The singing mailman

Posted: May 15th, 2008

I love this neighbourhood.

Today, like most days, our mailman comes in singing. He moved over to our route about the same time that we opened our store. And so, he comes in everyday singing a different song. He loves life and you can tell. We talk about the neighbourhood and it’s rich history which he knows quite abit about. We talk about our families, his motorcycle, we talk about what he and his son will do this weekend and much more. It’s amazing how much you can learn about a person, about “life”, and about yourself taking the time to share 2 minutes a day in conversation with someone. He is part of the fabric of my day.

I love this neighbourhood.
