Hot Tea in the summer...

I'm not used to sipping hot tea in the first week of August. That's my fall and winter drink. Yet feeling yucky, taking Rxs, wrapping up in blankets and sipping hot tea have helped me slow down...and enjoy the simple things of life. There is beauty in hearing rain fall, thunder in the distance, neighbors in their yards, summer sounds at night...and silence. I need to slow down frequently. I need to notice the beauty of life regularly. I need to cherish the simple things...continually. I am amazed. I am grateful. I am blessed by His gifts.♥~thl
