My coffee was terrible, and I do love a good espresso. I have few cheat food and drinks in life. Th first one is the espresso and the second one are crisps! Well, today my day was just amazing, NOT!
So, we already mentioned the horrible coffee, then the wifi in the house went down, so I missed my Skype call with an important client. Please note that I had arranged that call a month ago, because my client is traveling most of the year. Then, I needed to go at the bank, and surprisingly when I reached there, I was informed that their system was down! Guess what? They couldn't do anything, which means i had to wait for two hours in the amazing case that their system would be back on again.
On my way out of the bank, being quite frustrated I must say, my eyes caught a small cozy as it seemed coffeeshop. It was wooden, light lighting and smells beautifully. Then, i thought, "well maybe I will have my descent espresso at least". Not only I had a great espresso but I had latte (coconut milk) instead with a vegan cake!
In life, I guess we make choices every day, every moment. We choose although might seem impossible sometimes, but we do have choices. Maybe we dont' like them sometimes, but still we choose. We can choose how we will manage a troubled situation, right?
So, in the end yes i was indeed tired, I choose to keep calm, think positively and jade whatever I had on the table. Choose based on the choices I had in front of me. I re-arranged my call, re-book my appointment with the bank and had my cheats all in one! Coffee and cake! Keep smiling, because sometimes or I would say most of the times we can't control anything but we can try to manage our emotions and keep smiling because even if I was angry and moody, still nothing would had changed, right? Instead, I enjoyed my cheats, work as much as I could and wrote this article for you.
Wish you all a great weekend and keep smiling!
