I should be in bed

But here's a quick story:

Today I was walking on campus carrying packages to the post office. A guy walking by asked me, "Do you need help with that?"

I glanced down at his taped up knee and remarked, "No, but it seems like you need help with your knee!"

"Oh, this? I'm good. I can carry those for you if you want." I handed him two of the packages, and we walked to the post office together. As we walked, I learned that his name is Hawaiian (I can't remember it now, but it's something like "Lawuja" or something like that), but he's from Fiji. He was remarkably smiley and friendly.

When we got to the post office and he dropped off the packages, I thanked him for the help. His response, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve!"

It made my day.

I appreciate those people who not only are helpful in doing things for me, but are kind enough to give me a genuine smile or share a conversation. Thank you, boy from Fiji. I'll try to be more helpful and friendly on campus, thanks to you.
