In Praise of Coffee Mugs


Good Morning, Gentle Readers!

This morning's image was made for a friend last night who had had a very bad day. She had thrown her back out while trying to rescreen her porch in preparation for the coming winter, was dealing with an instructor who, it seems, is having difficulty distinguishing between students and troublemakers, and on top of all that my friend's favorite coffee cup broke!

Now, broken coffee cups may not seem to be that big a deal other than being very inconvenient. But that mug represents many hours of relaxation and comfort when it is needed. That mug is a companion who will listen as you talk about how bad things are without judgment, and will hold drinks as long as you need without complaint. It will even unquestioningly bear any sayings you might wish to place on it, such as the one depicted.

That first mug has gone to keep company with that great coffee urn in the sky now. But this image still remains to remind us of that noble vessel.

Until we meet, Gentle Readers...
