The Cart Return Victory
Hello!
Welcome to Cager’s Coffee Break,
There are days when accomplishments are big. Then there are days when you unload the groceries, return the shopping cart all the way to the cart corral, get back into your car and think, “Well, look at me being responsible!” Nobody applauds. There's no trophy. You don't even get a sticker. But somehow you still feel like you've accomplished something. And you have. Little things matter. Here's an interesting little piece of coffee history: coffee cultivation has traveled across continents over centuries, but coffee plants aren't naturally suited to every environment. They generally thrive within particular tropical growing regions, which is why you hear the term “Coffee Belt.” This broad zone circles the globe between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn and includes many of the world's coffee-growing countries. So that cup sitting beside you may have started its journey thousands of miles from your kitchen. Think about all the people involved before coffee ever reaches us—people who grow it, harvest it, process it, transport it, roast it, package it, and eventually prepare it. It makes an ordinary cup seem a little less ordinary. Life is like that too. Most things we enjoy involve people we'll never meet. That's a good reason to appreciate the small things and the people behind them. Today, notice something ordinary and be thankful for it. Hold the door. Return the cart. Say thank you. Give somebody a smile. Nobody may give you a trophy, but kindness was never supposed to require one.
