my impulse buy

I am the proud owner of a Tim Hortons Refill Mug!

liked the green
like the tree that you can’t see on the other side
REALLY like the idea of not adding to the garbage
every time a pick up a Timmies

ps. on a totally other topic, i’ve added a “poetry” category to my posts and moved all the poems i’ve ever posted into there. i was sad not to be able to find them in one click. much happier now. so far, i have two mary oliver’s. need to pick up a book of hers soon. enjoy loves!

    just two days after i bought it, tim hortons started their HUGE annual “roll up the rim to win” contest. where after you drink a coffee you roll up the paper lip of the cup and can win everything from a free donut to $10 grand to an SUV. environmentalists are starting to speak up because – get this – the cups aren’t recyclable… everywhere… yet. and canadians are cuckoo over this contest. more cups more coffee more trash.

    i have to admit, i hadn’t thought of that unfortunate consequence.

    • "Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." — C.S. Lewis
