Unexpected Inspiration

I’m grateful for creative people – especially when the creative touches appear in unexpected places.  

Like this … you order a cup of coffee and decide to treat yourself by ordering a latte or cappuccino. Your day is plodding along like any other day, and then your coffee arrives.

The proprietor could have simply made a good cup of coffee, and we would have all been pleased with that.  But by going the extra step and expressing his creativity on a hot and foamy canvas, our coffee experience suddenly became memorable and inspiring.

Inspiration is all around us.  Be creative in little ways.
