2 mugs

I have 2 mugs. They're nothing too special-looking. They have a velour-flower looking pattern. They're light blue and average-sized.

During morning coffee time, I try to find one of these mugs to use. Not because they're the perfect size, color or shape, but because of what they mean to me.

In my first home after college and owning an appalling lack of kitchen apparel (and pretty much everything else that's practical), we scoured stores upon stores. My mom came into town and saved the day with her industry and generosity.

We found the 2 matching mugs on sale and brought them to my new home. We sat on the floor of my new, empty room and sipped our coffee from the new matching mugs.

They remind me of starting something new that seemed scary and exciting. They remind me that I'm loved and that sometimes, even the smallest things can have the most meaning.
