Breath…yes, that’s what I need to do, just breath & relax, & drink this tea…
Cream of wheat, honey drizzle…oh, the aroma… oh the tongue tingle…thank you…sigh…
I think some of you know me well enough to appreciate the sudden shift in my life from lounging in my home, playing with tea & tea ware, cooking, gardening, knitting (the new hobby), playing instruments, yoga, Tai chi, students coming & going, on & off Steepster sessions all day. It’s been pure bliss, to be honest. I could continue this way forever…
Suddenly I’m out the door at 6:00am mon, weds, & fri (ok, really, that’s my goal, but to be honest I still haven’t left the house earlier than 6:30, barely arriving on time), arriving home just in time to teach private students from 3 – 7pm. Tues & Thursday are still work from home days, with students (& lots of tea) from 10 – 7.
It’s a somewhat rough transition for a night owl like me, but I think I needed to challenge myself a little, to be honest, maybe I was getting a little too relaxed, & the extra income will be enjoyable. Having to make lesson plans, prep food the night before, & figuring out how to fit in maintenance activities & practice time will push me to new heights of organizing & time management skills (dream on…but it could happen)
My friends at the school are all excited to have me back, especially when I showed up with a huge basket of homegrown heirloom tomatoes yesterday ;)People who liked this

Home grown tomatoes! :)
Congrats on going from “pure bliss” to challenging yourself – such discipline!
I didn’t get to have a garden this year and it’s making me sad. I’m living vicariously through yours. I am looking forward to this time next year when I get to slow down – we are going in opposite directions. And you have inspired me to have a cup of this tea. I love this one.
I wonder what would happen if I packed some tomatoes into a box & mailed them…
They would be cooked before they got across Texas but its a BEAUTIFUL idea. Our drought will end some day and I will get to have my garden again. Or I will move.
