A Humble Mug

I’ve had that mug for eight years now.
Even with a cupboard full of perfectly good coffee mugs, it is the humble mug from the 3rd St. Farm Store that I have used every morning since the day I brought it home.
Absent-minded, early-morning, pre-coffee, my hand consistently reaches for the Farm Store mug.
It holds exactly the right amount of milk & caffeine. Its smooth, latte colored finish compliments my drink, and calms my mind. Its handle fits my fingers perfectly and balances the weight of the mug and its contents so that it never slips from my grip.
All of this from a humble mug, found amongst weed killer and paint cans, at the, even more humble, 3rd St. Farm Store
