One of the bright lights in my Florida world is Diane who works at the post office. She is a Southern woman with a steel magnolia personality and while our chats are brief they are always uplifting, insightful and to the point. And though she may not know it, she is my link to the Southern way.

I stumbled across her acquaintance in an unusual way. I needed a postal box as my condo mailbox was wet. Interesting how the twists and turns of life brings people to help. Who knew it would come from wet mail?
