nice and true

I just have to share something nice that happened at work today. I have a new client who came in for her second visit today. She told me she lost her calendar/appointment book and she feels lost without it. She said she has to go to the clinic tomorrow to find out all her appointments etc. I gave her an appointment book so she could have one for the rest of the year. About a half hour later the mail came and I received a fairly thick envelope addressed to me (typewritten) without a return address or stamp cancellation. I joked about opening it (anthrax). I opened it and lo and behold it was this person's calendar with a typewritten note that this person found it on her way to Manhattan and my name and address (from the activities calendar we give out). She hoped I could trace down the person it belongs to and return it. My new client was so happy. I hopefully found the person, who returned it, phone number and we will call her to say thank you.
There are good people in this world and in Brooklyn too.

  2. The client and I called the woman and left a message on her answering machine. She just called me back and was happy that the person received her calendar back.
