Being on “sabbatical” makes every night a Friday night… and every
morning a Saturday. Sometimes I’ve got
to look at my phone to see what day it actually is, because the days are running together so very easily, and
the time I’ve taken off from the “working world” is going by at lightning speed! However, today is actually a Saturday… and I
get to spend most of it with a fabulous girlfriend.
Needing a quick caffeine boost before meeting Michelle, I’m waiting for
the Keurig to warm up and I'm staring at perhaps the messiest cabinet in my entire
house. Yet, my OCD doesn’t kick in… Here’s
why.

| Multiple cats, butterflies, Wonder Woman themed, Inspirational, & Scrabble mugs, along with Starbucks souvenirs from around the world greet me daily. Some times it really is the "Little Things." |
Each of the casual mugs in this frequented cupboard means
something special to me. 90% were gifts
from my children which automatically make them cherished. What makes each mug especially significant is
that I’m "known" by my 3 cherubs and by the friends who've contributed to this collection. (Several missing are in the dishwasher...so this conglomeration would be even more disturbing to the analytical eye if they were clean...you're welcome.)
If you know me well at all, you know there is special significance to
butterflies, cats, and yes – for many years “Wonder Woman.” So, this is indeed a simple pleasure for which I’m grateful…
a treasure trove of mugs symbolizing people, places, events and meaningful
things that are treasured in my heart now and always. This cupboard may be slightly a mess… but
that’s okay… its representative of me.
(I’m definitely slightly a mess…. on my best of days!)
Still, this little mess before me makes me smile. It's like a little daily hug. Boom.
(Coffee’s done… time to come alive…there’s a full, fun day
ahead.)
