# The Promise of Tomorrow's Coffee By:: [[Ross Jackson]] 2023-08-18 Whether a day was “good” or “bad,” I find that by the end of it, I am looking forward to the promise of tomorrow’s first cup of coffee. There is something comforting about knowing that my day will start with a leisurely cup of coffee, enjoyed alone in the stillness of the morning. That cup of coffee, and the time to think, is welcomed. Sometimes the thinking is focused on everything that needs accomplishing in the day. Sometimes the thinking is focused on writing a blog post for the day. Other times, the thinking is open; it takes me where it will. That cup of coffee is a moment of calm. It is an opportunity to enjoy being alive. It is relatively easy to get wrapped up in drama. There are always things requiring attention. Life is a balance between being and doing. The promise of tomorrow’s coffee is that one knows there is at least one moment in the day dedicated to being. Will the day turn out as planned? Probably not. Will one accomplish things? Most likely. By the end of the day, will one start to think wistfully about the promise of tomorrow’s cup of coffee? I know I will. It is nice to have something dependable in a world filled with pressure, stress, and uncertainty. Such an approach can bookend one’s day with positivity. It starts with the coffee and ends with the anticipation of its promise for tomorrow. #### Related Items [[Coffee]] [[Routine]] [[Reflection]] [[Thinking]] [[Life]]
