Bunny in the mailbox

Over this past weekend my wife found a chocolate bunny in our mailbox.

We have a neighbor makes a habit of dropping small gifts and encouraging notes into our box — and, I assume, doing the same for the others in our little neighborhood.

It’s safe to say they’re not doing this for their own benefit:

No advertising value.
No public recognition.
No subscriber counts.
No votes on elecction day.

But clearly they’re “getting” something. It could be anything:

A sense of belonging.
A belief that they’re making their world brighter.
A warm feeling.
A way to dispose of their massively overbuilt chocolate bunny stockpile.

Here’s the thing:

People give for their own reasons.

They just need to know you’re willing to receive, and to believe their gift is well placed with you.

All the best,
A.
