When Sweet Traditions Suddenly Upset Your Day

I had this odd morning where everything felt a bit out of place, like when I accidentally knocked over the rice cake stall at the market.
It made me think about how fragile our little routines are, and how one small mishap can ripple into a day full of unexpected chaos.
Yet, there’s something comforting about returning to those sweet traditions—the familiar smells and tastes that ground us.
Sometimes life feels like that toppled stall: messy but filled with moments to savor once we pick up the pieces.
