Coffee for a better day (eng-esp)

Hello, coffee lovers.

The day always starts well with coffee. Coffee is the best solution for sad days.

A good cup of hot coffee. It can be espresso or a cappuccino, it doesn't matter. A cup of coffee is my go-to remedy when one of my children, my husband, or I myself are feeling a little down. So much has been written about the benefits of coffee for banishing sadness.

However, it wasn't until one day when I noticed my children were acting differently—quiet, serious (too serious)—and I decided to invite them out, that I was able to experience the miracle of coffee.

The idea was to cheer them up by going out. I thought changing their clothes and dressing up would lift their spirits, but it didn't.

So I let them choose their coffees in silence and stood looking out the window at the street, waiting for them to open their doors and tell me what was wrong. I also remembered my own adolescence as I looked out the window. I respected their silence, and we all remained that way until the coffee arrived.

However, as soon as they tasted the coffee, their faces changed. They perked up, started talking, and laughed.

Thanks to that, we were able to take the picture.

Once we got home, they calmly explained what was wrong. The coffee helped them decide to talk.
This technique has proven infallible for me. No matter what happens, coffee always brings a smile and brightens the day.
