Morning Coffee

While making coffee this morning, I spilled a half a cup of water on the floor. “Damn it,” I quietly exclaim to walls of the empty kitchen; announcing my ineptness to complete the simple task, of completing the pour into the coffee pot reservoir. 

I immediately head for the paper towels to confront the mess.  I kneel down, and begin the mop up job.   I resign and commit myself to the minor task, when I take note of how easy it is with the wet towels, to attract the excess dirt and the food remnants, that have made a home against the running board.  With a few extra wipes I realize the resourcefulness of my mistake. 

“Ah, that’s nice.”  I thought.  I turned a little mess into a slightly cleaner kitchen.  A slight smirk makes its way across my face, and I feel good about my modest efforts.  I enjoy a sip of coffee as I make my way into the next room.   

When I’m able to change my perception that quickly, and see what appears to be a negative as a positive,  I know it's going to be a good day.  Anything perceived as “bad,” can quickly fade.  It’s like turning on the light in a dark room.  The darkness disappears.  Now, where's that switch?

Enjoy your day!
