Tea Thursday

Today I decided to repost this picture because I think we all might need some comfort today. We never know what the other might be going through so always be kind to one another. Here is today's Tea Thursday quote: “I don't want tea," said Clary, with muffled force. "I want to find my mother. And then I want to find out who took her in the first place, and I want to kill them."

"Unfortunately," said Hodge, "we're all out of bitter revenge at the moment, so it's either tea or nothing.”

Tea Thursday!

Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves — slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future. ~Thich Nat Hahn

Tea Thursday

Hi Guys! I know I haven't been posting any blogs this week. I've been very busy this entire week just as I will be on the oncomings 2 weeks but I havn't forgotten my "Tea Thursday" ritual where I post random qoutes that involve tea just to give you some food for thought. For the next few weeks I won't be posting daily but I WILL be posting when I can, maybe even twice a day, so don't worry! I'll try my best! :) So here are this weeks food for thought quote:

“Who would then deny that when I am sipping tea in my tearoom I am swallowing the whole universe with it and that this very moment of my lifting the bowl to my lips is eternity itself transcending time and space?”

Tea Thursday

“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

 

Hello Darlings! Today is yet another Tea Thursday where I post random quotes about tea just as some food for your thoughts, to get your mind flowing. I hope everyone has a lovely evening! :)

Tea Thursday

“After a fairly shaky start to the day, Arthur's mind was beginning to reassemble itself from the shell-shocked fragments the previous day had left him with.

He had found a Nutri-Matic machine which had provided him with a plastic cup filled with a liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
The way it functioned was very interesting. When the Drink button was pressed it made an instant but highly detailed examination of the subject's taste buds, a spectroscopic analysis of the subject's metabolism and then sent tiny experimental signals down the neural pathways to the taste centers of the subject's brain to see what was likely to go down well. However, no one knew quite why it did this because it invariably delivered a cupful of liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.”

Healthy Breakfast

Today I had a realization that I don't usually eat breakfast... I know! I know that is soooo bad for a person, especially an athlete.  I am not so hungry in the morning and that is why I usually skipped it, it was not intentional. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it increases your metabolic rate, gives you energy and helps reduce cravings. Sooooo today I decided to make myself a good healthy breakfast. The bigger the breakfast the better! The first thing that I had was some water. Water is so important! Having 2 glasses of water as soon as you wake up helps activate your internal organs. After drinking my water I served my self a cup of "real peach apple walnut multi grain cereal (quaker)" with some organic soy milk (vanilla). Then I put some hot water to boil for my tea and while waiting I made this thing called the "tummy toner", it is made out of 1 slice of wheat bread, half an avocado, black pepper, and hot sauce of your choice. After my water was finished  boiling I had a cup of gourmet cinnamon berry tea with 1tbs of organic brown sugar. With that I was ready and energized to take on the day! :)

Tea Thursday

Posting a bit earlier because I have an early start to a busy and fun day. I'll be at Six Flags! :D so here is this weeks "Tea Thursday" and words of wisdom...

“When tea becomes ritual, it takes its place at the heart of our ability to see greatness in small things. Where is beauty to be found? In great things that, like everything else, are doomed to die, or in small things that aspire to nothing, yet know how to set a jewel of infinity in a single moment?”
