I woke up early 5:30 the other morning because I couldn't sleep. I expected to have to wait to be able to read the paper but was surprised to find it was there already. My carrier sent a card--of her, her husband, and what looked to be a 1 year old child. So my guess is she gets up very early to do this job and get home before her husband leaves. I admire that work ethic and I gifted her accordingly. I also gift the mail carrier. It's their job, but in the spirit of the holidays I like to show them some appreciation. I worked very hard during my life doing all sorts of jobs along the way and finally got into a good career. I value a good work ethic in others and if I can make their holidays a little brighter, I'm glad to do it.
