Cups of Tea 12/12 – 12/18
The spirit of the holidays is almost embedded in me, and I couldn’t help but grin like a child when the snow began to come steadily down yesterday afternoon. Being inside in a warm, cozy environment, watching the the lovely white snowflakes tumble to the ground made for a simple, yet cherishable moment.
Today, I hope to just lounge, read and nap. I must admit, I am exhausted. How are you handling the holidays? I must not complain though because the busyness is welcomed, and a sign that my life is full and for that I am thankful.
But today . . . today, I will sleep in, enjoy a bit of breakfast in bed and take the day as it comes. Here is to a lovely Sunday full of exactly what each of us needs. Now, let’s heat up the water on the stove and pour ourselves a cup of good morning.
