Much of this blog has been about complaining. Ok, mostly all of it. However, after talking to one of my good friends, I decided to take a more intellectual approach, when I feel like it, and not focus so much on the things I hate about the coffee shop atmosphere (namely rude customers) but to expand beyond that tiny corner of reality, and see how one small incident could possibly impact a larger existence. And if I observe the people deep enough, insights of human nature will abound.
So, this is a new quest. One I hope to follow closely and comment on regularly.
As a dear customer-friend stated yesterday (with a wink and a smile): "You are, after all, only a barista Claire. Don't forget that."
I hope to rise above that somewhat derogatory term, and do something important with my life. Impactful like a short poem. Some Dickinson, or the red wheel barrow, or whathaveyou. Maybe the Invisibles.
If I think of something, I will let you know.
It's good to change your perspective!
