Last week I was walking through the parking lot on my way into Aldi. Just then an older gentleman that I would describe as distinguished was coming out. He looked intellectual, structured, staid, and serious. He was pushing his cart with purpose toward his car not as if he were out on a leisurely Sunday shopping trip.
I smiled at him in greeting which he returned with a half grin. As he did this he placed one foot on the bottom bar of the cart, hopped up, and gave two swift pushes with the other foot. He surfed his cart past me with a wide grin that replaced the half one. His eyes were lit with a glee that spoke to me. He still enjoyed his life. Perhaps we all would if we surfed on our shopping carts more often.
*Please note that I am well aware of the dangers here. Sometimes we need to do things anyway! An adventure without a little danger is a poor remedy for the ordinary!
