side effects may vary

This morning I had the.best.cup.of.coffee.ever. Yes it was my favorite Keurig cappuccino and it was in my beloved mug but it was so much more than that... I dunno, just special. So what is it that makes the ordinary EXTRAordinary? I’d love the recipe to that magical formula that produces insta-bliss. (Note: I’m in the habit of using “insta” as a prefix for just about everything.) So what’s the concoction? If I had to guess...
Function, timing, mood, need(s), luck or better yet purpose?
Maybe but sometimes I think it’s the saddest of them all, despair. I’m not immune to desperation, obviously. One positive, obscure side effect of it is the ability to appreciate, really fall in love with, something otherwise unimportant. And that’s what happened. After the first sip I immediately thought “oh I’m so gonna make this a two cup day” followed by a “hold your horses; just enjoy what you have right in front of you”. DING! DING! DING! All life’s problems solved.  Enjoy what you have in front of you…and I am.
