My Coffee Cup Sparkles

 

 I stand at my nook each morning and do my balance exercises instead of at the kitchen sink, because it sparkles and shines and I can watch myself in the mirror and it makes me happy.
 I sit my 1st cup of coffee there and by the time I am done with exercises, the cup is empty and I am able to walk without hobbling and mostly without pain.

As I took a sip I sat the cup down and for the first time ever noticed


sparkles in my coffee cup..



I am thankful for Coffee when I wake up
For the eyes and desire to see sparkles when they come
and especially thankful that last week, I went to a thrift shop to find something they did not have but I found a like new, black pair of Sketchers Go walk, exactly like the ones I wear to walk Beau, for SIX Dollars.

Hello,
Your nook is beautiful with the lights and reflections.
I am thankful for my cup of coffee on these morning dialysis days.
Take care, enjoy your day!

I just looked, I don't see sparkles in my cup of coffee. I can't drink mine black so maybe that's why mine doesn't sparkle like yours does

Hello and good day to you, new friend. Hm. Balance exercises. I wonder what they are?

Amazing outlook - love the bubbles in the coffee and the new shoes.

That's a great place to start the morning and so impressed with you finding the extraordinary in the most ordinary places, like that pretty reflection in the bottom of your coffee cup. Your brain is always working and creating. Well done Sandra!

Susan Kane said...

That reminds me that I must do my exercises.

How cool is that?!?! What a testament to "straight-up" black coffee. I'm thinking these images could be used in a Folger's commercial. I'm so glad you happened on those shoes ... more so, that you're feeling free to go out and shop once in a while. Woot!

That is a cool reflection of a reflection you reflected on! Thanks for joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

Coffee cup sparkles! The coffee in my cup comes as close to making me sparkle as I’m going to get.

The sparkles in your coffee reminded me of a line in a song by Carly Simon, You're So Vain." I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee." I'm happy about everything you wrote about today! Good for you!
