But I Didn't Have My Mug

Sharon and I are enjoying our trip to Germany to visit Kristi. We've been here a week now and our days have been full. Along the way I've picked up some insights into myself. Mostly about expectations. We flew into Zurich, arriving Tuesday morning. Kristi had told me I should pick up my Zurich Starbucks mug in the airport so we wouldn't forget and because we weren't planning to spend time in Zurich on this trip. After using the WC, our first stop was the Starbucks. No Zurich mugs. The coffee was good, but I didn't have my mug. I wondered if there was a Starbucks along the Autobahn before leaving Zurich. Nope. So we headed to Kandern. My mind would drift back to the mug I never purchased. The scenery is magnificent year-round, but this is Spring when it is spectacular. I enjoyed it, even with my jet lag. But I didn't have my mug. Not having my Zurich Starbucks mug didn't overshadow the view, the fact that we had arrived safely or the anticipation of spending time with Kristi. But I didn't have my mug.
