I just spot them from a distance in
Their truck.
But this morning I was taking a
Bag of trash out just as they
Pulled up.
We greeted each other, and as I
Was walking back into my condo,
I stopped and backtracked.
"I want to tell you how much I
Appreciate you," I said. "I have a
Grateful book, and in it I wrote that
I'm thankful for the garbage men."
The two workers thanked me and
Beamed.
I beamed back.
It was a simple way to add a
Perk to our day.
