the searbys

This morning is my first morning to open Coffee Culture by myself. It has gone smoothly and after the rush of preparations, it is pretty quiet here. We open at 5:30am which means I have to be here at 5:00 and up at 4:15. This is NOT sleeping in. We have one guy that comes in every morning as soon as we open and sits for several hours reading the newspaper. Other than that, until 7:00 there are just a few walk-ins and several drive-thru customers. I get paid extra for opening too so it really is pretty nice if you don't mind the early mornings, which I don't. This morning, however, I couldn't find the car keys. I drive our Camaro to work and since Jen had driven it last so I didn't know where the keys were. After a long search I finally woke her up and asked her. She helped me look and then I looked in the car where they were nicely inserted into the ignition, with all doors locked! We never do that! It was a bit frustrating but I still made it to work on time, taking the Buick instead. I'm not sure exactly how we'll get Jen to work, but we'll figure something out. Hopefully she can locate the extra door key which we obviously couldn't find this morning. It's kind of funny really. God reminded me that there are so many things in the world that are more important than getting to work on time and getting upset about that kind of thing just isn't worth it. My heart should break for lonely people, pain in the world, war and injustice, not with self-pity for locking keys in the car. Amazing how we can learn from the little things, isn't it? If you're reading this, thanks. I hope you have a wonderful day.
