Sit, sip and day dream

There is something magical about having the perfect mug in my hands. If it’s filled with the bright welcoming first morning coffee, refreshing crystal clear mid-day water or my favorite mixed cocktail after a long day of hard work it always slows me down. Keeps me in the present. Takes me on a journey into the joyful glaze combinations, the craftsmanship of the vessel and handle assembly. How long have people been been creating mugs by hand, what an art. I allow my mind to wonder, stretching my few moments of me time into what feels like longer. Have I figure out a way to stop time? Maybe this is meditation? Breathing it all in and back out. Sit, sip and daydream.
