The Fitted Sheet Showdown

Hello!

Welcome to Cager’s Coffee Break,

Have you ever tried folding a fitted sheet? You start out confidently. “This can't be that difficult.” Five minutes later you're standing in the bedroom holding something that looks less like folded laundry and more like a parachute that survived a tornado. You tuck one corner into another. Another corner disappears. You turn it around. Now you're not even sure which side is the sheet and which side is you. Finally, you roll the whole thing into a ball and put it in the closet. There. Folded. Sometimes good enough really IS good enough. And coffee has an interesting connection to fabric too. Scientists and manufacturers have experimented with incorporating spent coffee grounds into textiles and fibers, looking for ways to give material that would normally be discarded another useful purpose. Think about that. Yesterday's coffee grounds could potentially become part of tomorrow's fabric instead of simply becoming waste. I like that thought because life has a way of teaching us that “used” doesn't necessarily mean “useless.” Experiences we thought were wasted can teach us something. Mistakes can make us wiser. Difficult seasons can make us more compassionate toward somebody else going through the same thing. And sometimes that messy fitted sheet teaches us that perfection is highly overrated! So give yourself some grace today. Everything doesn't have to be perfectly folded, perfectly planned, or perfectly accomplished. Pour yourself a cup, enjoy the moment, and visit Cager’s Coffee Hut at www.cagerscoffeehut.com. The fitted Sheet, well it will still be waiting tomorrow, and remember to keep brewing kindness one cup at a time.
