So, next time you’re handed your drink, don’t just measure it. Smell it. Feel the warmth through the cup. Laugh at the paradox that a “Tall” is actually the smallest size.

Whether your cup grew smaller, stayed the same, or just seems different, remember this: you have the power to fill it with whatever you choose. Gratitude, humor, curiosity—these are the real ingredients. So go ahead, order your favorite, take that first sip, and smile. The cup is never too small for a little wonder.
