you've been waiting by the door all day, eyes affixed out the window.

you know today is the day they're set to arrive, so you wait patiently as the minutes turn into hours. you think you're safe for the time being, surely you could step off to the kitchen for a moment.

your stomach is turning, you haven't eaten all day as you've waited for them to arrive.

you chance it. stepping into the kitchen for a moment when you hear the squeak of your porch. you fling yourself back into the hallway, certain you'll find someone standing in your doorway.

you heave the door open, only to find a note. "we're sorry we missed you, we'll deliver on the next business day."

I wanted to share a bright spot on this #quarantine Tuesday with all of you. This is my friend JP. He’s been my neighborhood’s UPS man for as long as I can remember. He’s one of my favorite people to see at my front door, or on the road when I’m walking my dogs. He’s full of joy and always has a great big “hello!” to offer, which never fails to result in a huge smile from residents. Last week I spent two days cooking more chicken stew — and cooking down 24 hour bone broth — than I can keep track of. I froze mason jars of it, and have been distributing it to neighbors and neighborhood essential workers like my main man right here. Today I finally got to see JP and give him his soup and broth. It’s a small act of kindness, within my control in an out of control world. Cooking and serving reminded me that we can steer our own ships at any time. So. Whatever way you might be able to extend yourself to a neighbor, a friend, or an essential worker today, I encourage you! Love ya, JP! • *and because I know people will ask, we kept our distance! He ducked behind me for our pic (to send my mom) and for whatever reason the wide angle makes us look much closer than we were! But never fear! I also gave him his jars wrapped in Clorox wipes, so many precautions were taken! Love the concern, tho ♥️*

The ups man has delivered for my neighborhood for about 8 yrs & he's such a kind man! Yesterday it was barely windy, we had an envelope too big for the mailbox so he picked up a tiny piece of wood I have in my front yard to put over it so it wouldn't blow away. 🥺 he's done so many thoughtful things like that throughout his time and he always says hi to my dog through the door even though she barks like a maniacal lunatic 🥰
