Riding Out the Wave in the Mocha Machine

I absolutely LOVE when I dump my entire cup of coffee onto the car floor on my way to work. It's so cute how the little brown river drenches my briefcase and spatters the blank invitation envelopes inside before it splashes up like inside rain, dots the windows and dashboard and then finally settles into a lovely lake of java that slowly seeps into the carpeted floor mat. #HappyMonday

Ooh and then it's completely spectacular to arrive exceptionally early to get a jump on the day and take a moment to squeeze in an extra task, almost as a favor to some peers, who not only don't appreciate the gesture but insist that it be physically, immediately reversed. Think of it as someone forcing you to rip all the yarn out of a scarf you just wove them ... right off the loom, yo. #GladIWentToTheTrouble

Naturally the trifecta wouldn't be complete without a verbal altercation with one of your best peeps that leaves you feeling like a really big jerk. #SorryBeans #CrappyMorning

And just when you're considering jumping back into the car, sliding it into reverse and trying to timehop back to about 3AM to reset this crummy day, it happens.

You get a hug --- or a text --- or a call from a friend who wants nothing from you other than to share their happy news. #Smile

And just like that, the ride in the mocha machine that is now your car, the rage over your random act of kindness and your moment of boneheadedness all disappear faster than Pizelle cookies at an Italian wedding reception, Capisce?

Ps 149:1b-2, 3-4, 5-6a and 9b R. (see 4a) The Lord takes delight in his people. Sing to the LORD a new song of praise in the assembly of the faithful. Let Israel be glad in their maker, let the children of Zion rejoice in their king.Let them praise his name in the festive dance, let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp. For the LORD loves his people, and he adorns the lowly with victory. Let the faithful exult in glory; let them sing for joy upon their couches. Let the high praises of God be in their throats. This is the glory of all his faithful. Alleluia.  Alleluia Jn 15:26b, 27a The Spirit of truth will testify to me, says the Lord, and you also will testify.
