Happy Time.....

This morning I cycled in to work with Mr. P over in Aylmer and stopped to cool down at Mocha Loca with a nice hot coffee.  It's back in the 90's F and friggin' hot early on in the day.

  As I sat there a young man who appeared to be somewhere in his 20's with shoulder length wavy blond hair, piercing blue eyes, barefoot, wearing nothing but cutoffs came sauntering up to the tree on the front lawn of the coffee shop, dropped his skateboard and mini guitar and proceeded to climb.

  He spent about a half hour whistling as he climbed, hung upside down, climbed some more, until his friend came along and he got down.  He seemed happy.  A little old to be climbing trees mostly naked first thing in the morning, but happy none the less.  Carefree. 

  I cycled home thinking of how happy this fellow seemed and how I would like to feel happy like that too.  So I climbed my trees to see if I could feel that way.

  You know what?  I did! 

  I'll thank you not to laugh at the fact that my trees are smaller than normal trees you would climb.  Sometimes you've just gotta work with what you've got!
