My oldest son came over this morning to help prepare for our thanksgiving dinner tonight. My youngest is at work. The oldest has to work thanksgiving day – stupid black Thursday. Next year it will probably start at Halloween. But I digress. I offered to make tea. My wife wanted Vanilla Bean decaf black tea. My son didn’t care, so I made this one for him and me.

He asked what it was. I read the label as he took a sip. He said, “That will do” as he turned and headed out of the room.

I inwardly sighed. Then it happened.

He stopped in his tracks and went, “Mmmmm, that really has a nice aftertaste. It’s flowery or something.”

Yes! Good tea not wasted!

Second story – a year ago our thanksgiving was stressful. I was losing my job and we were afraid we could lose the house. A year later the house is paid off, we are doing fine, and it looks like I have a part time job! Just enough hours to pay for insurance. That is all I really wanted anyway.

My point, if you are struggling this year and on the verge of giving up – hold on! Tomorrow is another day. A blessed day of thanksgiving to all my Steepster friends.

Happy thanksgiving. And I cannot agree with you more that Tomorrow is another day. No matter how bad off, we should hold on, at least there is tea that keep our spirits up.
