Words of Wisdom

I was poking around in the kitchen section at The White Elephant Sale over the weekend and spied the coffee cups. I’m always on the lookout for that “special” cup that I can use as a writer’s cup. It’s not going to imbue me with the ability to write wonderfully. It’s just a special cup I can use when I’m writing. I have several of them already, but you can never have too many.

So, there I am trying to look at all the cups and there are people crawling all over the place. I leave, take a few turns around the other displays and come back to have another look. Still too many people. I waltz around the area again looking at other things and find myself in front of the coffee cups for the third time. This time there isn’t anybody else around. I’ve got the place to myself and can look at my leisure. I don’t see anything that fills the bill. I’m a little disappointed, but not terribly so. It was just a thought that maybe I’d find a special writer’s cup.

Right then a voice in my head goes, “Over there.” And, when I look in the direction specified and still don’t see it they said, “In the corner.” I reach three cups deep on the shelf and smack in the corner is the cup I bought. It said, “Words of Wisdom” on it. Couldn’t ask for anything better than that.
