A Big Thank You To My Warrensburg Neighbor, Whoever You Are!

I almost tripped over a box heading to my car this morning. Amazon usually doesn't deliver before I head to work, but this delivery was a little more special than an Amazon package. Don't get me wrong, it was an Amazon order, but it had been delivered to the wrong address.

If you've read a couple of my articles about the type of winter we're supposed to have, you've heard me jokingly say we won't get any snow because I finally broke down and got an electric shovel. Last week, I finally bit the bullet, picked one out, and ordered it from Amazon because it's getting to that time of year, and it might just get cold, stay cold, and then snow.

It wasn't supposed to show up until later this week, so I wasn't even thinking of checking the delivery status. Yet there it was this morning. I wouldn't have guessed the order was delivered to the wrong address except for the little note attached to the box.

First, I want to thank my neighbor for taking the time to correct Amazon's mistake. I appreciate it, especially since it wasn't a small package. It's one thing to take a small box or an envelope a few doors down the street; this was a little harder. Second, thank you for the holiday wishes and the note.

I'll admit the apology for the delay made me chuckle. Luckily, yesterday's precipitation came down as rain. Secondly, it arrived early, so there was no delay as far as I was concerned.

I'm thankful for the person who took the time to get the package to me as quickly as possible. It's not that Amazon wouldn't have fixed the problem if I never got it—I'm sure they would have—it just would have been a hassle. So, thank you for helping me avoid having to deal with that!

Also, thank you for taking time out of your morning to drop my package off on your way to work or class and for the note; I appreciate it. May you and your family have a great Thanksgiving and holiday season.

Little things like this make me feel blessed to live in a beautiful community with folks who care about each other. Cheers, and happy holidays!
