When the air turns frosty and the temperatures drop into the ‘oh, it’s cold’ zone, I’m thankful for my morning cup of nice, hot tea.
“If you are cold, tea will warm you; if you are too heated, it will cool you; if you are depressed, it will cheer you; if you are excited it will calm you.” ~William Ewart Gladstone

Mama of this empty nest, I’m content to live a quiet, country life with my husband of 40+ years and to view gorgeous sunsets off our own back yard deck. Mama to three adults and Nana to adorable grandchildren, my empty nest fills up again with noise and laughter when they all return 'home'.
A former English teacher, reporter/editor, education director for a non-profit organization, and stay at home mom, I retired after a season of substitute teaching at a private academy. Now I enjoy time spent with my grandchildren and family and writing words that seem to pour out of my soul or wandering around the countryside with my camera.
Foremost, my faith sustains me as I meander through the empty nest stage of life. My favorite scripture is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

It’s a good warm-up, especially a nice cup of herbal tea in the evening. It’s my favorite hot drink.

Exactly how I feel about tea

Patty, I’m not a coffee drinker — love the aroma, hate the taste. So tea is how I start my mornings. For me, it’s a soothing balm. 🙂
