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 :-).

Haha I love this post. You really get me to think about all the muddy things I have to do in life and how I often long for them to be glamorous, worthy of "Beckham" but instead I often think so little of them that sometimes I'll forget to put deodorant on at all for them. You're so right though. We should delight in our tasks no matter where they fall on the world's continuum of sexy or glamorous jobs. And then just when you convict me you make me laugh at the end.
