HI TEA

 “Thank God for tea! What would the world do without tea! How did it exist? I am glad I was not born before tea.”
― Sydney Smith, A memoir of the Rev. Sydney Smith

 
This week i have been working out of town.
It's always refreshing to be out of the office, there is something about being in motion that does something to you :)
I am smack in the middle of a tea estate.. le sigh! The view is nothing but breathtaking!! I could wake up to this view everyday.

The mix of the dark greens from trees and bright greens from the tea leaves is SPECTACULAR!
The air is cool and fresh. It rained last evening and right now the sun has never looked so beautiful.
The town is quiet and i notice no annoying hooting from cars!! geez. that's a winner for me.
I am itching to leave my work station and ran out to enjoy the scenery.
I am enjoying the tea brewed from the finest freshly processed tea leaves. *Life's little joys*
Living in the city makes us immune to the small things. We get so used to chaos that quiet serenity becomes dull and boring.
I love being away from the big crowded congested city. Then again the comforts of the big city are hard to come by in a small town. It's WIN-WIN really.

AFTER THE RAIN ...

“If I were rain,
That joins sky and earth that otherwise never touch,
Could I join two hearts as well?”
― Tite Kubo, Bleach, Vol. 01: The Death and The Strawberry

It rained most of last evening and all of last night too ..
Its a chilly Morning. the mist-coming-out-of-my-mouth-glove-wearing-cold.
Although the sun is playing peek-a-boo with the clouds, I must admit by far this is my favorite weather!
Contrary to popular belief, I do not brood ..OR feed on junk food..
This weather awakens my instincts, brings to life my creative side, I can walk for hours and eat all sorts of salads :))) with my favorite magazines stacked up ceiling high.
Makes me CRAVE my Jill Scott & Eric Benet albums...Elle Varner & all those smooth Neo-Soul sounds... A road trip out of town, with the windows all rolled down, enjoying the view of the landscapes and the chilly breeze blowing in my face!! *bliss* :))
The earth is bursting with life..Everything looks so green and fresh! *inhale* .... It smells GREEAT! that wet-earthy-fresh-soil-smell.. *inhaaaaale* :)
There was literally no traffic this morning.. it was quiet, no much hoooooting either ---- Makes me wish schools were on break all year.
