I
am not the morning happy and energetic type. I’ve never been. I usually tend to be quite grumpy. First reason being that I‘d much
rather waking up naturally
than getting forced to wake up by the alarm. And after that, I’d prefer
to have a slow relaxed breakfast in front of the
novel I’m reading at the moment or browsing online for news. Then the natural consequence would be listening to a bit of music and
eventually starting to work.
I
am still planning to live this kind of life sometimes but in the
meantime I have to follow the `common people human routine` of getting
up too early (for my nature),
having a quick coffee and rush out. That’s why normally I can’t be that
happy and relaxed in the morning.
But
sometimes, something randomly makes me feel slightly better and other
things during the day just turn out in a good way. So finally my morning
and then the
rest of the day are saved.
Sometimes
I just wake up with that little energy surplus that allows me to
quickly prepare some pizza dough in the morning, meaning that during the
day I will know
that the dough is rising and that I will have lovely home-made pizza
for supper.
Sometimes
if the sky is clear, walking to the office is just much more enjoyable
and maybe I just find on my mp3 reader that amazing tune that I love and makes me feel
more optimistic
(but also gives my face that happy and dopey expression…).
Sometimes when I get to the office I find the
book I had ordered couple of days ago and that looks so interesting.
Sometimes at work I receive an email that some tasting has taken place and that there is plenty of open bottles to taste and maybe one to take home!!
Sometimes
when I get back home I find the letter with the examination result
that I have been waiting for months and I have spent so much energy to
pass.
Sometimes
to celebrate the good mark I get a couple of glasses of that bottle of red, that I took home from the office, with my pizza. And sometimes it surprises me. It smells of Tuscany. It tastes of Tuscany. It's deep and round. It has strong tannins and full body, it's warm and characterful. It is 5 years old but still young in perfumes and flavours.
And even though it definitely overpowers my pizza, it is the best way to finish this day and this week.

These are few things that can save my day, sometimes. As they did today.
