Gratitude photo #6

Coffee, in my favorite work mug:



I adore coffee. I've been drinking it probably since age 12. I love the heat, the smell, the taste and of course the stimulating nature of it. I can do without it, but why? It's not only harmless but even has some beneficial health qualities.

And this mug. I'm not even sure why this is my favorite mug. Maybe it's the color, or the way it tapers at the top and keeps the heat a bit longer, or maybe I just got into the habit of grabbing this one, so it's associated with how coffee in the morning makes me happier to be at work. Whatever it is, I'm always inordinately bummed when it's not in the cupboard, and I get this inexplicable joy when I see it. Today was the first time I'd gotten it since I came back to work this week, so I was especially thrilled. Human beings are odd creatures, especially me. Smile

    I totally get being attached to a coffee mug! My favorite is the same shape as this one.

    Thanks - you gave me an idea for my picture tomorrow. Smile
    It makes total sense to me that a mug could evoke strong feelings. Smile

    I love coffee, too! And I love my English bone china mugs! I'm very disappointed if I have to use something else.

    Looks very inviting. Where would we be without our steaming beverages?

    Another coffee addict here. I enjoy trying out various types of coffee beans from a specialty kiosk selling coffee produced in different countries. They all have exotic sounding names, I'm learning new pronunciations with every purchase. I like that it's not an expensive treat to use to reward myself [and whoever stops by]. I've never thought about it but I gravitate to a particular mug that was a gift from someone I admire and would like to emulate.

    I find it hilarious that people who don't know me very well, buy me exotic/flavoured tea for gifting occasions. I've now created a tea caddy as boxes were overtaking their allotted cupboard space. I've started this year trying to make tea the 3 PM hot drink. Success is slipping as it needs conscious decision.

    I temped through that company for a while a few years ago, so this pics made me smile!

    I don't drink coffee - I am one of those odd tea drinkers. I like to smell coffee and cook with it, but drinking it, blech.

    That's so funny, Liz! I don't think we've used them since I've been here, unless they changed their name. It's not uncommon to have an assortment of mugs with different company names in the cupboard here at work; I'm not even familiar with this company.
