A little reflection at Café Aki/ Week #139

As many of you already know, I like to take a break from my daily activities, whether I’m at home or out doing something else, and it’s one of the times when I immerse myself in reflecting on whatever’s on my mind or on everything in general. This time I took my break at a very picturesque spot themed around anime: Cafe Aki. This one is on my Sunday routes, near the church I attend.

A mutual friend told me about the place. Since she knows I love original and fun coffees, she pointed it out to me, and I was delighted, as I didn’t realize it was so close to where I spend my Sundays; at the time we couldn’t visit, but I was hooked on it until I finally got to go and have one of their coffees last Sunday, that is, yesterday. Upon arriving and after taking my obligatory photos and placing my order, my favorite moment arrived: reflection. I thot about my week and everything I had done until I arrived at this café.

I was excited because I finally got to visit her; I’d kept my promise to come. Plus, I felt like I ended my week on a high note—and what better way than with one of my favorite drinks, a delicious café con leche? On the other hand, as I admired all the decor, I thot this was an iconic spot for anime fans, and I felt like just another fan even tho I’m not particularly into these characters.

Likewise, I reflected on everything I had coordinated to get here, since I also brought one of my daughters along to accompany me and she was excited about the plan. I had already told her that I wanted to visit this place after the Sunday service, and she thot it was great because they also sell other delicious drinks and desserts.

We were there for about 45 minutes, during which I just enjoyed the atmosphere and my thoughts, not to mention my delicious coffee. I ended my week, as I like to, with a coffee in hand and by sorting thru my thoughts, ideas, and affairs, mentally organizing my fresh start to the week in peace and in a relaxed, beautiful setting. Because you think much better with a cup of coffee, that’s for sure.
