Today’s Morning Haiku

with my morning tea
the gentlest of breezes
sunlight through the clouds

I love calm mornings. Today, Seattle’s weather seems to be pivoting from rain to partially cloudy. Blue skies punctuated with white clouds. Summer’s heat abated, whether temporarily or for the rest of the year is uncertain, but I’ll take the respite.

Reasons to Celebrate “Tea for Two Tuesday”

As a tea fan (yeah, I love coffee, too), I’m glad to have discovered “It’s More Than Tea” some time ago. Today Jill posted about one of those low-intensity holidays: Tea For Two Tuesday. I appreciate her wry take on all these marketing-driven holidays, but then how she dives into the benefits of taking moments to appreciate the “small” things. There are lots of benefits from taking a moment and having a cup of tea with someone. So, take a moment and give the post a read.

An Autumn Sunday Morning

autumnal daylight
crisp, cool air awakens me
I reach for my tea

I woke to a lovely autumn morning. The rain holding off until a convenient time opens up possibilities. Yet, I expect to spend most of the day in front of a computer.

As I sit, awake

Enjoying this calm morning

We all needed rest

I’ve been awake for a bit, exploring Twitter, reading a bit. Now tea summons me. I must heed the call. 

Early Morning 

Awake 

Against my will
My uncontrollable mind
Second guessing my life
Every choice open to
Ridicule

Through my open window
A lone bird’s chatter
This strange, calm click
Answers my insanity
With a call 

For tea  

An Afternoon In Seattle

In the afternoon

A warm cup of tea helps me

Make it through the gloom
