This morning in the elevator up to my desk, after I said “hello” one of my colleagues, he said to me: you are way too cheerful. I suppose he meant too cheerful for this early in the morning or while being on our way to work. I was surprised because I myself didn’t feel quite awake. So I didn’t know what to say but I enjoyed the fact that I can sound cheerful even without trying.
And that reminded me of something I heard about: wild enthusiasm. What would it be like to wake up every morning with wild enthusiasm for my life?
I am grateful for the compliment: I’ll take “too cheerful” anytime.
