My Favorite Coffee Cup

Do you have a favorite coffe cup? Mine is a roughly-sealed, hand-thrown mug from Vermont with a crude moose figure on it. The cup is earthen colored and the moose is brown. The texture of the sealing makes it feel as if it is rough and bumpy. I bought when Teresa and I went to Hanover, New Hampshire to meet Marvin and Sue Ann for a short vacation.

I don't know why it is my favorite, but when I open the cabinet and it is there (as opposed to in the dishwasher), I always feel lifted.

Do you hve other simple objcts in your life that provide an emotional anchoring, like my moose cup?

I thought a moose cup was something a male moose wears while playing sports.
