gmathis drank Holiday Blend by English Tea Shop

…of course, the upside to being the “_____ will drink anything; she likes tea” person are the nice little surprise packets that turn out surprisingly good.

Like this one. Apple-orange-vanilla. Nice. Made my morning. (Wouldn’t take much; seasonal gloom has hit me like a road train.)

How can I help cheer you, my friends? I wish I could send some sunshine your way!

Kindly listeners go a long way to lighten the load. Thanks!

Maybe a trip to the florist? Fresh flowers go a long way to brightening up the frozen landscape for me:)

Oh my that’s a sweet idea!
i’ll do it.

and it’s true, just getting to complain and be heard is comforting in itself sometimes.

Fresh flowers are a great idea!

Color therapy helps! (Friends at work know to keep their distance when I’m in the yellow sweater; when that comes out, I’ve hit rock bottom!)

I also am grumpy. I’m going for Bubble Bath Therapy!

Bio

Somebody asked me once when I became a tea junkie; I think it dates back to college when I needed caffeine for a 7 a.m. class but chose not to do coffee. My favorite teapot is a medium-sized Brown Betty given to me by my Mema; the painted flowers are chipping off, but the size and feel is perfect. I rejoice when I get a morning to brew a pot of loose tea starting with a kettle; not a bag and a hot pot.
