Bella and I have had a rocky relationship from day one. From the beginning, I found her a little bit too loud and obnoxious. But she did get the job done. However, I kept thinking that she needs to be replaced by someone more elegant. What's with all that snorting noises. Bella Please!! But, I couldn't get rid of her. Bella is this new coffee maker that I bought and before I could return her, someone recycled the box she came in. So now I am learning to live with her. She makes a lot of noise while brewing - almost like popcorn popping and it drives me insane. Like she is grumbling because I woke her up from a deep slumber and asked her to make coffee. But the coffee that comes out is pretty good. And she does come with many programmable options that I will explore once I get over the general nuisance that is her existence. But maybe it's about perspective? Maybe she is not grumbling and is, in fact, calling for a celebration - look you are alive and your day is ...
It is never too late to be what you might have been.
