She took the grassy green leaves and pulled them apart, as if examining someones scalps for unwanted ticks. She took the bucket of water besides her and with great deliberation poured the water across the string-like leaves, making sure the soil did not get too much or too little as the water trickled down to the roots. She picked up her bucket, and moved on to the next set of plants. As she continued the process throughout the room, her face never changed. It carried a gentle smile with eyes that were proud of her work.

If we could all make the tedious, mundane things we did look so easy and enjoyable, things would look very different here. The McDonalds employee has found something that many of us search our whole lives for.
