This is my coffee cup. The one I use at work every day.
You probably can’t read all the words on it but those are waterlilies floating about. I found this in a gift shop attached to a favorite restaurant of ours some time ago. My original idea was to use it as a gift someday. But the more I looked at it, the more I wanted to keep it so I could see it every day and be reminded to “Rush not. Be still, it takes the time that it takes.”
It also reminds me of my favorite artist, Claude Monet. I never went to college (beyond a couple of classes in English and paralegal studies) so I didn’t have the opportunity to learn a lot about Art. But over the years I’ve seen many of Monet’s paintings and always … ALWAYS, they have given me a sense of peace.
Le Bassin aux Nympheas – Claude Monet (1917-19)
So I thought I’d pass it on. Here’s to a peaceful day.
The spreadsheets were getting to me, so I snuck away here for a brief reprieve. And this was perfect.
I’m so glad!
LIke Diana, I’m sneaking a peek at work.
What a pretty mug. I can see why you like it so much. And yes, it does look a lot like Monet. His paintings are beautiful. I don’t have any, but my girlfriend does, and I always admire them when I’m at her house.
Nice post, Bubbe, thanks for the “respite”
You’re so welcome! Love that I’m not the only one who surfs at work!
You are aware that we share a brain, are you not? Love me some Monet waterlilies!
Ahh, so that’s what happens to me sometimes…YOU must be using the brain on those days!
Dang it! Why isn’t there a LOL emoticon!
