Observations In Life

I used to go to Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts. I really like coffee and would drink it often. I now work from home and therefore don’t pass by coffee shops as my commute now consists of going from my bedroom to my home office.

Several years ago I used my credit card points to get a cheap espresso maker. I figured I would try my hand at a home brew and get the mechanics down before investing in the machinery that the big boys use…the baristas with flare and passion that you find in Starbucks and local coffee shops. I haven’t used the machine since I moved to the city and decided to give it a whirl.

At first it didn’t work. I felt defeated. Instead of accept defeat I decided to do the unmanly thing, and read the directions and of course my machine now works and makes excellent coffee, far better than the watery mixture that comes out of my filter machine. This has totally made my day and yet it’s such a simple win in my book.

I guess winning doesn’t have to be that complicated and good fortune no matter how big or small can make even a tough day a good one.
