This one is so true. I found some today. I have been run ragged with work lately. We are busy and the prices are getting ready to go up and everyone wants to buy forever stamps before they have to pay more. I work at a small office and went through 100 coils in the past 2.5 weeks. Normally, it takes me a month to go through 50 coils, so it is a pretty big increase. I ordered coils, but they did not come in. All the other stamps did, but not my coils. I reached out to a couple other Postmasters I know and found some within 50 miles of my station. Today, I drove down to pick them up so that my customers have the stamps they need.
When I got there, my fellow Postmaster took me out to lunch and we talked and he got me 50 coils to sell. By the time I arrived back at the office, we were out of coils.
This may seem like a small thing, but to me it really made my day. I gave me a break from work, it got me out of the office for an actual lunch, and it reminded me that I am surrounded by good people everywhere. I just have to look a little harder to find their welcoming light in my own world.
It is easy to feel surrounded by the difficulties in life. It is easy to get lost in the darkness of the day to day trials. But in the midst of them, there is someone willing to share their light with us. All we have to do is look.
