Those that make you smile.


I missed my first bus for no reason other than not paying attention to time and a good thing too, because the driver was very spirited.  He was infected by the sunshine I think.  Unlike all the other drivers I've ever had he picked up the mic for more than the required announcement they are required to say when coming upon to a bus station.  Something like "please remember to collect all your belongings..."

After driving down one of the more teeth rattling roads he shared his apologies for the condition of the roads and made jokes. 

A well known elderly rider came aboard and was greeted with a jolly nickname.  Lots more of this from the driver and soon the who bus was smiling and many were laughing.  I really appreciate people who share fun and joy with such ease.  I'm a little jealous actually.  We need more people like this guy.

It started my day off with a refreshing positive attitude.  I may end up being late more often just to catch a ride with this guy, and then I can ask his name and say thanks for the smile.
