As I sit here writing and reviewing my electronic launch to the daily world, I am enjoying my hot cup of tea. Today a blend of Celestial Energy Tea and Twinings Winter Spice (which I found on sale at Krogers this weekend - $1 a box!!)
The whole concept of tea was a moment to slow down, take a break, and breathe. However, it is now a launch similar to morning coffee during the week for me. Make, chug, energize, take off.
This is why the weekend is so precious in my tea world. A full pot of tea (or two), blending herbal and black teas. Adding a dash of half & half and/or honey...sipping into a slower world opener. Savoring the aroma and taste. No food to accompany it - just warming liquid hug. Breaking my fast will come later; family will awaken later. The sheer quiet of my world for a few precious minutes.
In the nicer weather, I head outside to enjoy my liquid love and the day awakening. However, this past weekend was like having a "cuppa" in London - misty, foggy, chilly. Stepping outside with the dogs, getting cold, but knowing that a warm pot of "ahhh" awaiting me.
Having my weekday morning cup does remind that this quiet, slow entry to the world is still needed. A time for thoughts, prepping mentally for the day, reflection, warming up body, soul, and mind.
Morning cup now enjoyed and drained, caught up with the world news, reviewed the bear traps of my work and personal email, deleting the onslaught of the spam email, glancing at the update of friends and family on Facebook, I can breathe and clearly launch. Thank you tea for your support!
