gratitude day 10: a simple hot cup of tea

I was feeling a little under-the-weather today, not helped by the lack of temperature control in my office.

I thought about a mid-afternoon walk to go get a coffee, but that wasn't quite what I wanted.

And I looked over and saw my mug, purchased on a trip to the Canadian Rockies last fall, and realized that a cup of tea (or several, perhaps) was exactly what I needed for the day.

Having this reminder of our trip and the beauty that surrounded it? That's exactly why I bought the mug to take to work.  A hot beverage and some warm thoughts to brighten my afternoon.
