Joyful and Sophisticated

When I went to Tim Horton's for coffee this morning I saw something remarkable, actually it was someone remarkable.

I have no idea who he was but I could see that he had a job involving close contact with mud. He was grinning from ear to ear and humming a happy tune.

But the most remakable thing was that he smelled like David Beckham cologne under all that mud.

Whatever job he had it was a dirty one, but he was obviously treating it like the most joyful and sophisticated thing in the world to do, I really had to smile and think how much more enjoyable life would be if we took what we were handed and treated it with the same sort of enthusiasim.

On the other hand maybe he was just laid off which was why he was so happy :-).
