Before you start reading this post, enlarge the photo and focus on the puddle of water and the three tiny raindrops for a few seconds. While doing so, did you see and feel the beautiful vibration?
Now that I have your attention, please get comfortable in your chair, take a sip of your beverage and imagine me sitting next to you, about to tell you a story. Are you ready?
The time is 7 am, and I am walking towards the coffee shop, singing in the rain, when all of a sudden, a bright yellow Porsche pulls right in front of me, drives over a puddle, and splashes water everywhere. Yikes!
I quickly maneuvered to avoid getting wet but to no avail. However, instead of getting upset, I took it in stride and calmly wiped myself off. Then, I began admiring the smell of the fresh morning rain, the unique sound of the Porsche’s engine, all while reminiscing on the feeling of the water splashing onto my body just a few moments ago.
After savoring this experience for a couple of minutes, I proceeded to the café to grab a cup of coffee and a toasted poppy seed bagel; then, I got on with my day—the end.
Did this short 1,300 character story elicit a smile? 😊
Have a relaxing evening.
