So there is this coffee shop that I frequent, just a hop away from work, called Benesian. Today was a good day at work: I didn't get upset at/too impatient with my students and I actually enjoyed teaching them. For me, that is a great day. Then I wandered over to Benesian for a bagel and a chat with Jinny, who is always working there. She was so sweet! We did have a great chat and I felt really touched to be reminded of how much she cares for her customers. All seven of us foreign teachers from Avalon go to Benesian a lot, and she makes a genuine effort to get to know us all. I go there just for her friendliness. And it's really cool to see that she makes her coffee shop her ministry. Her friendliness and generosity don't go unnoticed and everyone loves her.
I'm just feeling happy, we had such a great chat about life, and how she lived in CA the last 6 years and moved back to Korea recently but really misses Cali. She can really relate to missing home. Just an encouraging, uplifting day today, finding support from my barista.
