Today's mug is dedicated to all the friends and family I look forward to sharing a cup of tea with at some future time... May we all remember what this mug says when we feel all alone. "Good friends are like stars - You don't always see them, but you know they're always there." We might not be able to share a cup of tea, but we can share a text, a phone call, an email, a Snap... Above all we can still share love, compassion and understanding.#friendship #selfquarantine #selfcare #compassion #covid_19 #family #tea #socialdistancing (at North Albany, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Fz3ypAESU/?igshid=17uv3x6qxkixm
