And there’s still room to grow!

Thank you for your thoughtful comment – I enjoyed it.

Oh, Kristina, I can only imagine your thoughts had you been a more superstitious human …

We always feel so exposed when trying on a new role. Your co-worker was an angel!

Love that the new mug was given to you by your family—a full circle moment: the mug from the first part of your life hangs as a reminder of where you started; the new mug, given by your family, will accompany your journey forward, as will the next generation you created. You needed a new mug to better define your evolution into you now.

Glad the ending was happier.

At my first internship, I felt so grown-up with my coffee mug, as I strode off to the coffee room, swinging my arms…and I dropped it. It smashed in a million pieces everywhere, right outside the big boss’s office. It was my first week, as I recall. … One of my new co-workers presented me with a promo mug from a local business as a replacement. It wasn’t a particularly special mug but I used it happily the whole summer, feeling the kindness of that gesture all along. I also kept that one for years (but I don’t still have it now.)

Tom Tom, I don’t think you’d fit on the mug rack. Maybe the coat closet.

Here’s wishing you don’t retire me and hang me on the mug rack.
