Oh my goodness. For the past 15 minutes it feels like I’ve been taking part in a gong show. I’ve been trying to go back to sleep for a bit longer and it’s absolutely hilarious how my mind has been jumping around like a kangaroo with his arse on fire. It’s been going back and forth, up and down, and every which way you could imagine. I’ve been observing from the sidelines kind of like a third person to my own process and the thoughts are a mixture between real and dreamland kind of stuff as I’ve floated in and out of a half awake and half asleep state. I finally decided to give up on sleeping in with this ping pong match going on in my head.
Well, here’s some big news. I’m in my mid-fifties and yesterday, after supper, I drank my very first cup of tea! Herbal tea, mind you but tea none-the-less. It was a Berry Zinger tea – or something like that anyway. I feel like I’ve graduated into the adult world somehow. Like I’ve passed some kind of initiation test that was required me a long time ago. Who knows what could happen from here. Coffee is out of the question though. I doubt I’ll ever go there. But then, I never thought I’d see the day I would be lingering over a cup of tea after supper either so who knows what could happen from here.
Sunday:
I wonder how long it will take for this cold to completely clear and to get out of Dodge! Every morning and every night I still go through the coughing and clearing and blowing saga. I keep thinking there’s got to be an end to it somewhere.
Pumpkin just went out the back door. She’s sitting on the step, all hunched up into a ball looking at the snow bank piled high on her favourite dirt hill. She’s probably got the same thought going through her mind. “There’s got to be an end to it somewhere.”
The sun is already out this morning. Yahoo! It was close to a full moon last night so the skies are clear and the temperature is colder than when the cloud cover is here, but who cares! The sun is out and about and is returning life and vitality to my soul. I’m out of here. I’m following the sun - going out and about too! Tea anyone?

The pretty teacups make tea taste so much better! Glad you had one to use. I have some that belonged to my grandmother. Hope you shake this nasty bug soon!!! You've had more than your share!

I was just thinking about how nice it would be to save a wonderful experience like a cup of tea for later on in life. I am also thinking about what I could try that I've been saving. I haven't thought of anything yet, but I bet there are lots of things out there that could be a first experience. It is the best feeling to have a first experience whether it turns out that you enjoy it or not. I like the pretty tea cup too. Feel well soon my friend. I am finding the winter here in Alberta really mild this year. Does that mean I'm aclimatizing or does it mean that it is actually a milder winter??
Love always,
