Mr Beep Beep

We've never met
& have never exchanged even the smallest of talk.
He knows nothing about me
& I know a grand total of zero about him.
Yet, he brightens my day each and every time our paths cross.

In my mind, he's known as Mr Beep Beep
& you'll find him at the happiest place on the planet.
er, well
Happiest, according to me.

ahhhhh
yes

My Wicker Walk.

He takes care of the trees and the grass and the picnic tables and alllll the things one needs to do to make a park, a park
& it's obvious how very much he enjoys his job.
He oozes with delight
& I find this quiet joy quite contagious.

I've dubbed him Mr Beep Beep because I usually see him in his bright red truck
& the minute he spots me ?
beep beep
Not a get out of his way beep beep.
A Hellooooooo ! How ya doing today ? beep beep
attached to the heartiest wave and the brightest, biggest, most sincere grin.

He always makes me feel like he is genuinely happy to see me
& I'm hoping my YaY it's You !! return gestures make him realize the feeling is very mutual.

It's simple.
It's kind.
It takes approximately 3 seconds to accomplish
& yet, it fills me full.

It's a domino effect.
A guarantee
& I promise, if you try it, you will like it.

A smile.
Hi !
A wave, a nod, a wink ...
An acknowledgement that Hey ! You Matter !
& boom.
There it is.
Pass it On.

Oh, Mr Beep Beep.
Thanks for proving to me daily that the spark,
the change,
the difference has to start somewhere.
Why not here.
Now.

Me.
You.
