Carpe Annum Mug
A term meaning "Seize the Year" coined in 1995 by author and speaker Jay Payleitner as a takeoff on "Carpe Diem." Payleitner later created a 250-word inspirational essay making its way around the internet. (Below is an excerpt) CARPE ANNUM Advance with grace and assurance into the next twelve months. What you will achieve, whom you will be, one year from today has not yet been determined. The mind gladdens imagining the possibilities. Surely, there’s work to be done. Lessons to be learned. Mountains to be moved. Dark forces to be vanquished. An urgency, yes. Yet tempered with patience that accompanies an eternal perspective. Begin by doing what comes easy. That’s your sweet spot. A gift to give back to the world. If you can dance, dance. If you can build, build. If you can teach, teach. If you can hug, hug with all your heart. Proceed with excellence. Then be ready. Sometime in the next year—serendipitously, but not really—you’ll discover a truth that changes your life forever. Step into your mounting quest with confidence, not compulsion. Each day is long, but the year is short. Strive not for 365 endeavors. Breathe. Pause. After all, there are trees to climb and stars to count, dandelions to pick and lullabyes to whisper. To seize each season, do what's right in front of you, and do it better than anyone thought you could. Live in your own lane—not someone else’s—doing what you’ve never done. And the year will be yours. The best ever. -- Jay Payleitner

I bought the ratty bratty mug. I love it such a STROng message! :)
Better than advertised! Colors and text were exactly as shown on website. Quality cup also. Very happy.
Fuck your mugs and your tees
Cup is for a good friend. I haven’t given it to her yet but if she’s excited as I am, she’s gonna love it thanks guys.
good service, delivery time was quick
I LOVE my mug! It's such a meaningful way to remember a word my Dad "coined" When I was a child. I am very pleased.
Holy Cow, when I ordered the mug I mistakenly googled flenching instead of fetching! My wife and German Shepard compete in AKC canine agility competition and our German Shepherd won the fetching competition. To surprise her I thought I bought her a fetching coffee mug, needless to say I’m now living in Hotel 6.
My dad hated it🤣
This is the coolest Anspaugh mug that ever existed.
Great ordering experience..good quality
8.3 cm diameter? I hardly know her
The day this mug entered my life, my depression was cured, I won the lottery, my dad came back from the dead, and my mum started loving me, motto beg but if you rub the mug 3 times a genie WIll grant you 69 wishes (I wished for more mugs 69 times)
Gift for my niece. She loves it.
I don’t really want to by it but I do like that you can customize it Also I do find find funny nearly all the one star reviews are people say “I want the mug for free”
i tried to break this shit mug but died got reincarnated came back to life and this shitty mug was still there
How many ounces does it hold? I don’t know ask him. HIM!HIM! Fuck him! It’s catchy
Great experience with the Urban Dictionary and ordering my mug. Any concerns that were related to them were received promptly. Overall, it was a great experience
