Coffee with a friend

I have mentioned before that I belong to a group that used to be on Weight Watchers and is now on Facebook. We are called Caregivers and Greivers. The other day one of the members was having a bad period. So I told her the next day when she was having coffee to put a cup out for me and I would put one out for her at my place and we would have coffee together and she could tell me all about her current problems. It is merely a symbolic jester to let her know I understand how hard it is for her and am there for her. We have had coffee several mornings. So I brought new coffee cups (I have a weakness for coffee mugs) and conceived this picture which I will post on our private groups posting tomorrow. Now before anyone says anything there is no coffee in that mug that might accidently be spilled on my lap top. I have made a commitment to myself to try to take more daily shots. So this fulfills that too. If anyone is having a bad time put up a mug for me and we can have coffee together too. If @vignouse joins me I still have some whisky I can add to his coffee.

I think this is a wonderful idea and such a support thing to do for your friend. And the image captures the idea well.

Great photo, I really like the simplicity of this wonderful photograph.

Cute shot!

What a lovely idea. You say its just a symbolic gesture but I'll bet it means a lot to your friend. Nice image too. I was thinking how brave you are putting a cup of coffee on your laptop 😀

[Richard Sayer]

What a wonderful supporting idea and nicely illustrated. Don't you dare put whisky in my coffee - it spoils both. The only thing you should add to whisky... is more whisky - I'll take mine in a separate glass ;-))

Am drinking coffee as I read this so...here's to you, Joan and those you can/will benefit from this listening engagement. Am attaching a link to the BBC's 'The Listening Project'. It's a 5-10 minute read. I think you might find it interesting. I find it fascinating, informative, amusing and above all
thought provoking.

What a wonderful idea. So simple but so supportive.

[Wendy]

Great idea. We sometimes moan that the Internet separates people but you have shown we can use it to bring us together as well!

[Margaret Brown]

Wonderful idea and how kind to extend that offer. No doubt there will be many takers of your virtual mug of coffee!

[Jacquie]

What a thoughtful idea. I love the coffee mug slogan too!

[Stephanie]

Nice shot, what a lovely idea, I love your mug too!

What a marvelous and wonderfully sweet idea!

[Louise & Ken]

What a thoughtful and loving things to do for one another! Good people are *good* for one another!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I'm in- just put hot chocolate in mine! I love mugs too- particularly ones made and glazed by potters but I've had to put a stop to getting them due to lack of cupboard space and an unwillingness to get rid of ones I already have! LOL This is a great way to let someone know they're being thought of. Good for all of you!

[Sylvia du Toit]

What a wonderful idea. We do send pictures of coffee just to say thinking of you via the cellphone whatsup.

[Joan Robillard]

@sdutoit I hoped you would see this as I was thinking of you when I posted. Hope you have found a group like mine. It helps to have contact with others.

[David]

Richard hardly needs the encouragement, poor man! :-) @vignouse

[Dyan Stevens]

What a lovely gesture...and a cute mug!
