A Few Random Thoughts

Random thoughts bounced through my mind this morning as I sipped my hot cup of tea. Both good and bad they made their way in and hung out for a while.  I'm posting them today, feel free to add your responses and your own random thoughts.

It's Martin Luther King Day, we celebrate an amazing man with a vision for our world to live in peace.


Love can be felt through the internet, it has great power.

I wonder how all of the victims in Arizona and their families are doing. I know our prayers, love and light are felt by them.

Does anyone read my tweets?

Are flowers in the bathroom a weird thing to do?

The first kiss in the morning from my sweet husband is the best way to start the day.

Hot tea makes me smile.

A hug can make an entire day of yucky dissolve in an instant.

Someone ( anonymous) left a negative comment on my blog the other day ( I deleted it)
Why did they have to leave it as anonymous?

The Golden Globes need to rethink the way they place the tables so the winners don't have to go through a maze to get to the stage.

When did shoulder pads come back?

I pray my two youngest grandchildren will feel better soon.

Thank you God for all the blessings in my life.

I think I'll blog these thoughts, I love my blog community.

Now, I need more tea............

Black Friday Freeze Out

Ahh Black Friday, just the name send chills down my spine. The image of eager shoppers desperate for a bargain. Their red noses pressed, or frozen to the shop doors at the ungodly hour of 3:00 am! Giggle, I was one of those anxious shoppers many years ago. After a tug of war over a sweater ensued, reminiscent of an old Laverne and Shirley episode I decided you can count me out.
I know the deals are amazing, but all deals are. I stand stead fast that black Friday will remain blacked out on my calendar.

Never again will I withstand the harsh winter wind that freezes even the smallest nose drizzle to your nostril. Never again will I endure the pushing, shoving, and sometimes ridiculous behavior of the half awake holiday bargain shoppers. That's right, I shout loudly, not I my friend!

But, to those of you who dare participate in this ongoing ritual. I send praise for your fortitude, your perseverance, and your savvy shopping skills. I lend you my cozy mittens and pat you on the back with a smile. I wish you well on your journey. God speed and happy shopping. I'll be her drinking tea.

St.Patricks Day Wish

What happens when an English woman ( me) and an Irish man ( my husband) get married. I end up drinking green tea. Wishing you a happy St Patty's Day!

An Irish Blessing: "Wishing you a rainbow for sunlight after showers—Miles and miles of Irish smiles for golden happy hours—Shamrocks at your doorway for luck and laughter too, And a host of friends that never ends each day your whole life through!"

"May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand."

A Cup Of Tea

Its tea time! Well, for me, any time is tea time. I think I started drinking tea at about age 5 and haven’t stopped. If you’re gasping, please don’t. Remember I’m from England. Tea is in our veins.

I’ve had a cup of tea every day for 44 years. I have been drinking it decaffeinated since 1985, but I still drink my tea. I drink it with a spot of milk, (Lactose free) and a smile on my face. I’m totally unleaded these days. So, no caffeine, no sugar, no alcohol, no lactose! You’d think with all of those limitations I wouldn’t have to deal with menopause middle. But the one thing I will never give up is my tea.

I love to have people over for tea; I use my bone china tea cup collection. Everyone has a different cup and saucer. I have no two alike. It doesn’t change the taste of the tea. But, it does emphasis the experience. Drinking from an elegant gold or silver rimmed piece of Royal Doulton, Ridgeway Staffordshire, or Royal Ascot china, can make the most rough around the edges fella raise a pinky to take a sip.

I serve a nice variety of teas. My guests are rarely decaffeinated and I can serve everything from Green to herbals. I said once, “It’ll be discovered that teas heal everything”. Recent studies have proven I’m not that far off mark. My favorite drink has many health benefits, particularly green teas.

So, I encourage you to enjoy a “cuppa” . You won’t start speaking with an accent, and you won’t have a penchant for wearing large hats with feathers. But, you may discover a new drink that comes with other benefits.

The gathering of friends, the tastes of variety and the health benefits of tea.
