I'm a teacher, which means I have a lot of mugs. They, along with Starbucks cards, seems to be favorite gifts from students.
Some of my mugs, though, are very special to me. I reach for them over and over. This is one of them.
In 2017, my husband and I sold our house in Albuquerque and moved to the other side of the Sandia mountains. Because what had been a five minute commute was now going to be a 50 minute one, I decided to leave the school at which I'd been teaching for a decade and find a new job on this side of the mountains. When someone left this in my cubby hole during the first week of school (with a sweet welcoming note!) I knew that I had made the right decision.
This is my go-to weekend cup because it's huge. I can fill it up and dare myself to have a complete scene done before the coffee's either gone or cold. Most of the time I don't win, but the challenge goads me on.
