The Shampoo Bottle Olympics
Hello!
Welcome to Cager’s Coffee Break,
Have you ever reached the very end of a bottle of shampoo and suddenly become an engineer? You shake it. Nothing. You turn it upside down. Nothing. Then you add a little water and shake it like you're mixing a scientific experiment. Suddenly you've managed to get three more shampoos out of a bottle you were convinced was empty. We can become remarkably resourceful when we don't want to open the new bottle yet! Coffee producers have learned a few things about using what they have too. Here's an interesting coffee fact: after coffee cherries are processed, the outer fruit and other by-products don't necessarily have to become waste. In some coffee-growing regions, these materials are being explored for uses such as compost, soil amendments, fuel sources, and other agricultural applications. In other words, the cup of coffee we enjoy is only one part of the coffee plant's story. There's something worth remembering in that. We live in a world that is quick to discard things—and sometimes people—when their original purpose seems finished. But experience has value. Wisdom has value. Time has value. And sometimes the season you thought was over becomes preparation for something you never expected. So don't be too quick to decide that something in your life has no further purpose. Enjoy today for what it is, laugh at yourself occasionally, and don't underestimate what can come from what you already have. Pour yourself a cup and visit Cager’s Coffee Hut at www.cagerscoffeehut.com. And yes, eventually you really do have to open the new shampoo. So, enjoy today, and remember to keep brewing kindness one cup at a time.
