Those are the days…

I am sure you know those day when all that seems good is the thought of crawling into bed, pull the blanket over your head and forget the world outside. In most of these situations, you cannot do that, because there is work, school and other duties that will not give you a rest.

Nowadays, I find myelf in somewhat stressfull situations, sometimes when experiencing frustration at work, I feel like crying. Or eating chocolate. Or both.

Nevertheless, I realized that sometimes there must be a fairy sometimes that saves me and puts the smile back on my face again. And it’s the small things. It is about walking the street you walk everyday and see something new, to feel the sun on your face or the aroma of fresh coffee in the air. It can be a letter or an e-mail, too. An e-mail telling you a story of yours will be published, or a letter of acceptance for university, too.

Similar things happened to me, and show me how I should not completely let my head hang loose 2 centimeters from the ground.

Do you have had a situation in your life when you felt sad until something cheered up your day?

I got my coffee upgraded

As a frequent visitor at Starbucks, I am used to be served rather quickly. Until today. I paid for my Frapuccino, and then waited patiently by the table where they serve the coffee. I waited… and waited. One of the baristas was obviously in trouble with the coffee machine. She opened the machine’s lid only to look and try and close it again. But she couldn’t, because some things had fallen into that space between lid and machine. Among those things were espresso glasses and a cup as well as a large amount of paper. Barista number 2 helped her to get the problem fixed and meanwhile they forgot my order and instead began to serve the other guests. Barista number 3 then asked about my order and my answer was the keyword for barista number 2 to finally remember the plastic cup he had placed on the table behind him. He began to prepare the Frapuccino, and gave it to me, mentioning he had upgraded it to “grande”. Thank you, dear machine
