A couple of weeks ago as I left for work on Friday, I shoved two envelopes into the side pocket of my shorts. Both contained checks – one to be mailed and one left in a payment collection box in Eastsound.

When I arrived at the Post Office in the mid-afternoon, I realized that the envelopes were missing. Hmm. Cause for concern and most probably a call to my bank to stop payment on the checks. But I felt a real reluctance to call the bank. My true feeling was that everything would be okay. After waiting a sufficient length of time, I checked my accounts and  discovered that both of my checks had arrived and been posted.

My profuse gratitude to the good samaritan who picked up my envelopes and sent them on their way. I believed you were out there. Please know how much your gesture is appreciated and that the good will you extend will came back to you.
