It has happened to each of us to complain, at least once, about monotony of daily life, repetitive gestures, banal little things, always the same.

Everything is relative and, if we think over, routine can be reassuring and even pleasant, when it gives us some certitudes, like fixed points on which we can rely.

The scent of coffee at breakfast has a special value for me, although it's regularly repeated.
Real coffee, I mean. You'll forgive me for being fastidious about that, but I categorically refuse instant coffee.

A dear one, who pours me a cup of coffee, while the entire kitchen smells good, is a privilege that I keep on appreciating.

In these difficult days it's so important to have a few enjoyable points of references which help us to remember that our daily life still has a rather regular rhythm.
