The Ronald bought this coffee cup for me as a Christmas gift after I saw it in Borders.
The outside was cute enough with its curved shape, large handle and Christmasy decor.
But when I looked inside and saw what it said, I just had to have it!
It is SO ME!
I received other pretty coffee cups this year, too, and a cute tea pot-tea cup gift set. I'll post photos of them some other time. I just wanted to say a quick Hello for today and to wish everyone a joyous, blissful day!
"There is no try. There is do or do not." (I heard Tommy Smothers say this on a PBS special the other night, but when I looked it up just now, to give proper credit to it, it's attributed to Yoda, from Star Wars!)
Love the inside inscription on the cup.
ReplyDeleteI also like Tommy Smothers.
;)
PS. And Yoda, too, for that matter...
Cool cup, Becky. Good message, too. Still eyebrow deep in Christmas decorations, now in plastic bags, ready to go in bins, and be hauled up to the attic. Whew! This has been a LOT of work.
ReplyDeleteOkay, well, take care and have a great rest of the day! Susan
A blissful day to you to becky!!!

Hi, Becky,
ReplyDeleteI must have missed reading about the passing of your sweet canine friend. Oh, the hole their loss leaves in our hearts.
I send you New Year's greetings and hopes that there are things to make you happy while you are still sad.
May your cup be filled to overflowing. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy day to you too Becky.
ReplyDeleteI know Yoda was right - we mustn't try, just do.
Great message in the cup. I recieved a tall cupw itha snoman motif. It holds two cups of coffee/tea/hot chocolate. It is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLove the cup and the inside message. I reallyy can relate to the not 'new' me but a 'renewed' me! I think that is me this year! Thanks for putting it into words! hugs Linda
ReplyDeletePS I started writing a story, my first time trying something like this. It may never go anywhere but it was amazing to let the words flow.
Hi Becky,
ReplyDeleteLove the new look of your blog, and the cup it lovely.
Donna
I, too, love your new mug. Thanks for asking about the address book. Yes, I found one this past weekend. It was on sale too. In addition to that, the salesperson was a former student, who has graduated from college already.
ReplyDeleteYes that cup is you! Aren't coffee cups fun?
ReplyDeleteIf we all thought of our cup as half full instead of half empty, we'd be happier people.
ReplyDeleteNeil Young's "Old Man" was playing on your blog...That took me to back to junior high---great writer, great lyrics.
Happy new year, Becky! Here's to cups-running-over in 2011.
ReplyDeleteOh your blog is inspiring! You have a great name, too. Love your cup and your quote in your intro with you and your husband. Very sweet.
ReplyDeleteOh, also wanted to send love re: the passing of your sweet dog. We lost our little pug a couple months ago .. my first guide two years ago. Not easy. They are part of the family. Sending love.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky,
ReplyDeleteI doubt that you will have a difficult time minding the message at the bottom of your new cup!
:>)
Kathy
Very cute heading on your blog!
ReplyDeleteLove the cup inscription! I've been MOSTLY a " cup half full" person! I find I DO have to work on my "thinking skills" a bit more and stay "in the moment" as I get older. : )
Have a "cup half full" year in 2011!
sandy
So glad you are up and going - sandie
