Have you ever dropped something tiny on the kitchen floor and watched it disappear into another dimension? You saw it fall. You heard it hit. You know it couldn't have gone more than two feet. Twenty minutes later you're on your knees with a flashlight thinking, “There is absolutely no scientific explanation for this.” Then you stand up—and there it is. Right beside your shoe. Sometimes little things consume way too much of our attention. We can spend half the day worrying about one small aggravation and completely overlook everything that's going right. That's where Janise Joy comes into today's Coffee Break. This medium blend brings together Colombian, Ethiopian, and Mexican coffees, giving us different origins working together in one cup. And that leads to today's coffee tidbit. Coffee is grown in a region around the Earth commonly called the Coffee Belt, generally located between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. Within that broad region, differences in elevation, rainfall, soil, temperature and local growing conditions can influence how coffee develops. That's one of the beautiful things about blending coffees from different origins. Each can contribute something to the final cup. People are a little like that. We don't all come from the same places. We haven't had the same experiences. We don't think exactly alike. But sometimes the best things happen when different people bring their individual gifts to the same table. That's worth remembering when somebody gets on your last nerve before breakfast. Maybe instead of concentrating on the one thing that irritates us, we can look for the good they bring into the blend. And perhaps that's where joy starts—not because everything is perfect, but because we decide not to let one little thing hide everything that's good. So here's to Janise Joy, different origins coming together, and whatever disappeared on your kitchen floor. It'll turn up eventually.
