Christmas Season - Have a Friend for Tea!

There are just so many days in a month

 and we all try so hard to fill those social demands.

Let's face it - there is a LOT to do

 and we are turned every which way!

We also know stress is a silent killer.

We need to slow down between the dashing about

 and just breathe!

And today is a dashing about kind of day

 with many appointments and whatnot -

 so I thought I'd share

a Christmas tea moment I had last year....

....when I had a neighbor friend, Dee, over
 and we slowly sipped tea
and visited and enjoyed one another's company.

I hope to do that again very soon.

I am inspired for the holidays to experience more peaceful moments, with worrying less about "stuff."

I hoope you are able to as well.

Friendships need nurturing to survive.

The gals of old knew how to do that;

savoring precious tea time. 

It was an expected part of each day.

Granted all they had to do is pour tea
the tea was made for them, the snacks were
brought to them - and none of them were expected
to work a full time job, or (gasp) do their own laundry....

[but still]

We can do what we can to try and bring back a little
bit of the lovely "Downton Abbey" lifestyle, can't we?

Tea time.

Not just for To Go styrofoam cups in your car anymore.

So I do hope you'll open your door to a friend soon

and slow down and savor the moment,

the calm before the proverbial storm called Life.

And as we get into the spirit of the Advent Season

I wish you quiet moments, joy, and good health.

As always, thank you for your visit!

♥
