While sitting and waiting for my son to finish piano lessons the other day. I made some small talk with a young man who was doing the pesticide treatment on several yards, his name was Paul. I guessed he was the pesticide guy because he was spraying around the houses like he knew what he was doing.

I don’t remember how we got around to what he did, he told me he was attending College and his field of study was Herpetology. Well at first glance I thought he said Herpetology. Guess what, he did say Herpetology. Yes…I thought about the disease at first. Before I could open my mouth to comment (no comment on what I was about to say), he explained. Contrary to the way it sounds and looks, this word does not mean the study of Herpes. It is actually the study of Reptiles and Amphibians which is a branch of Zoology.

I was fascinated by his enthusiasm and his pure joy while explaining what he did. He was so eager to talk and share his goals. I could not help but take away some of his passion. I was the better person for this moment that had been set aside for us.

I repaid his enthusiasm and passion by sending him a card. Send a card to celebrate someone’s passion today. You will be the better person for doing it.

Warmest Regards,
