celebrating : my new orange teapot

Our blog has been a little higgledy-piggledy over the past year, as we’ve tried to come up with some sort of topic that would inspire us to write regularly and that might hold some small bit of interest for readers in this content-saturated webosphere. Then one day recently, up bubbled an idea we think just might do the trick.

So today I’m inaugurating our very first soon-to-be-somewhat-regular feature: “celebrating.” As you might have noticed, we have this thing about celebrations. “Celebrate every day,” we say. Yes, it’s a little pollyanna. But it’s a great exercise in looking on the bright side, if nothing else! From the momentous to the miniscule, from the absurd to the awe-inspiring, reasons to celebrate every day abound and we’re gonna talk about what we’re celebrating at random given moments. We might be talking to ourselves for now, but hey—that still counts for something. We hope one of these days our comments section will overflow and you’ll let us know what reasons you’re finding to celebrate every now and then... if not every day!

At this very moment, for example, I am head over heels (or should I say “handle over spout”?) in love with my new orange teapot. I like to brew up a big pot of tasty herbal tea every morning and keep it at my desk. It helps me down those innumerable recommended daily ounces of H2O. This design is so perky and the color is so cheerful, I can’t keep my hands off it. It’s keeping me hydrated and happy and that’s a little something worth celebrating.
