My Secret Santa has informed me that this is shipment part 1 of 2. I will return and edit this to include Part 2 in the future- but I am too excited not to post and say thanks for the clever and oddly perfect gift of part 1.

A temperature sensitive color changing coffee mug with a quote from 6 Feet Under.

The quote reads- "You're Alive- What's a little pain compared to that?"

I looked up the context of the quote. For fellow and future 6 Feet Under lovers out there: This is said by the Dad- Nathaniel Fisher to his second son, David (Michael C. Hall)

Nathaniel Fisher: You hang on to your pain like it means something. Like it's worth something. Well, let me tell you - it's not worth shit. Let it go! Infinite possibilities, and all he can do is whine.

David Fisher: Well, what am I supposed to do?

Nathaniel Fisher: What do you think? You can do anything, you lucky bastard - you're alive! What's a little pain compared to that?

David Fisher: It can't be that simple.

Nathaniel Fisher: What if it is?

I love this so much and it is the perfect reflection of my year just where exactly I am in my life right now.

Thank You Secret Santa!
