Some things have been significantly stirred up in my life, lately, in a positive way. I can now see a road that has reasonable chances of getting me out of my rut. I shall try to go down this road as far as I can. Success is never guaranteed, but at least I finally feel there is a clear path I can follow, and some stepping stones upon which to tread.

When I was in college, I would buy a new mug to mark new 'phases' in my life. I have been wanting to do that, but never really looked. One day though I realized my usual mug had gotten way too worn on the inside, and possibly unsafe, so I retired it. For a couple of weeks, I drank coffee from the smaller mugs that we use for tea, while somewhat wishing I knew where to go and find a cool mug.

Then, one day, my mother came home with this:

I really like it! I love the shape. I've never had mugs this shape, but the friend I stayed with did, and I found I preferred them to the usual cylindrical ones. I like the color and the design of this one too. It is a lot tamer than many of my prior mugs, but tame is good right now. It is accurate, as I am a lot tamer than I used to be, too.

It's a good mug to mark the start of this new phase.
