Floating in a Coffee Cup

Monday, the toughest day of the week for me, is followed by Tuesday.  Though I engage with the world a little easier on Tuesday, I still feel as though I would like to spend the day floating in a coffee cup.  Not just for the extra shot of caffeine, but because floating is a state of pure relaxation.   

If you look at the picture at the top of my blog, you’ll see my favorite aqua colored coffee cup.  It’s a large cup that holds double what a typical coffee cup does.  I can imagine placing an expanded version of it on my patio and climbing in, much like a hot tub.  The coffee cup is much deeper though, and my feet would be unable to touch.  I could slip a pastel colored noodle beneath my legs and float from side to side, or I could use my own buoyancy and lie in the middle of the cup, close my eyes, and enjoy the peaceful bob. 

It probably wouldn’t take very long for the caffeine contaminated water to seep into the pores of my skin and energize me to the point that floating would no longer be relaxing.  So in hindsight, floating in a cup full of coffee would probably not be such a good idea.  It’s a fun exercise though, thinking about silly or impossible things.  It does get the creative juices flowing and helps me to face the day. 

Okay blank page, here I come.
