The Grandma's magic trunk

Today the alarm clock went off like any other day, and without delay, I jumped into the shower. The morning routine is timed as city traffic can be unpredictable. Anything can happen!

As a good coffee lover, I can't leave home without having a good cup of coffee. It is a ritual to start the day with high energy.

Just when I thought everything was perfect, my electric grinder started sparking. It was not a good sign. Was this an omen that I would not be able to drink this delicious black gold before going to the office?

Suddenly, I looked into a corner of the kitchen and saw a wooden trunk that belonged to my grandmother. On the top lid of the trunk was an inscription that read: "Turn an ordinary day into an extraordinary". Was she receiving a message from my grandmother from beyond the grave?

I was very curious, and I opened the trunk. I don't know what I was looking for, but I knew I would find the answer there. To tell the truth, at 7:00 in the morning and without coffee, lucidity is scarce. At least for me!

Among the things inside the trunk, I saw my grandmother's shawl. It was a thick shawl that she always had over her shoulders in the mornings when she woke me up and made me coffee. I tried to pull the shawl out of the trunk, but something was holding it. As I tried to grab part of the shawl with both hands, I realized that the shawl was wrapped around something. The shawl was wrapped around my grandmother's old wooden hand grinder. This find was wonderful, it still smelled like coffee! I felt like someone who finds a great treasure!

Immediately, I placed it on my kitchen shelf, dusted it off, and poured some coffee beans. In the precise moment the coffee beans started to crackle, I felt I was transported back to my childhood days with my grandmother, days full of love and tenderness. Is there a better way to start the day?

I drank my coffee remembering the anecdotes I had with my grandmother, and without wanting to, a smile came across my face. I wanted this feeling of happiness to extend throughout the day, so I filled a thermos of coffee and took it to the office to share with my co-workers. Even if they didn't know, this coffee was special because, for me, it was a way to make them feel my grandmother's love.

Sometimes difficulties become opportunities to test the lessons learned. My grandmother was right! An ordinary (disastrous) day can be transformed into an extraordinary one.

Will I fix my electric coffee grinder? I don't think so! From now on, I will wake up a little earlier and use my grandmother's coffee grinder.

Your grandmother really left you an heirloom and a great treasure and it seems that from the other plane she made sure you discovered it.

An almost magical trunk that can save your morning, or day, or whatever! I want this in my house too!

Hehehe it would be amazing. However, even if in real life we don't have a magic trunk, sometimes we have the solution at hand but getting caught up in the problem doesn't let us see it. These are things that we must learn as time goes by.

Thank you very much for your visit.

Hello dear friend, I haven't seen you for a long time.

Oh yes, grandmothers are the best gift we can have (at least mine was very sweet and loving).

Thanks for stopping by. Best blessings! ☕️
