Ceylon Tea

I first became intriged by this tea after reading about it in a tea book. The author Mary Engelbreit states in the book about the tea that, "Ceylon tea from Sri Lanka is grown in tea gardens high in the clouds. Perhaps that explains their magic: strong yet delicate, with hints of flowers."

This really pulled me in. I pictured a beautiful place up in the mountains where the clouds were really only a small ways off from the tips of your fingers. Sure enough, I looked up some pictures, and thats exactly what it looked like. ^^





A beautfiful endless green field full of Ceylon tea as far as the eye could see, sweeping over the mountians and the clouds hovering close above. I have never tried Ceylon tea, but I am for sure, next time a make a visit to Akins a health food store to pick up some. They sell a vast amount of tea on a long wall, so hopefully I can find some there. This tea just looks magical. Also, I'm going to try and buy a new type of tea from now on every time I go to Akins to try different kinds. Some times I feel I am in my habbit of only drinking the same kinds of tea every day, which isn't bad per say, but I'd love to try some new kinds out there. I am very excited. ^_^ This is a picture of Ceylon Tea. :) <3





As of late I have been trying my best to drink one cup of green tea every day. I love green tea so much. It really is as magical as every one says. Already, and its been only 4 days, that I have been drinking green tea consecuatively once or twice a day, that I have seen an improvement in my skin. The skin on my face looks more clear and fresh. I also feel more healthy. ^_^

The Selfless Flowers

If she was honest with herself, she would say... that she was feeling a bit lonely... and perhaps even a bit sad... But acleast the flowers were always warm and kind to her when she walked by. They always greeted her with their amiable little yellow smiles. The flowers are always kind, to no matter who it is that happens to walk by. They love everyone, and think only of others. Even though they might not get visited that often by people, they continue to smile through out the whole day, and hold their outstretched leaves up to wave at the world.

The girls lips turned into a slight smile. Perhaps she would spend more time with the flowers. The flowers who know so much about being selfless and caring for others. Perhaps she could learn a few things from them.

Busey scedual, but trying to find some peace in the simple things of Summer

Sorry its been so long since my last post. Lifes been pretty hectic lately. I am currently takeing one summer math class in the morning at college. It is about a 35 min drive there and back. Right after the math class I have to drive back home and go right to work from 12 to 6 mon-fri at a day care. After that in the evening I have been taking a Karate and Kickboxing class which I love, but it majorly tires me out. lol. So my days have been pretty full lately. But I still try to find peaceful moments in the simple things of summer. Last night I worked in my garden until it became to dark for me to see what I was doing. It was so fun. ^_^ I'll post some pictures of my garden compared to last summer. It looks a lot better, and its getting bigger. ^_^ I so enjoy working in my garden, it really helps me relax, and rest my mind. My mind is not racing with thoughts constantly when im working in my garden. Also, this morning I woke up early and went outside on the patio and read and did my bible study, then read my book for about an hour. It was so nice, and the morning air was so crisp and refreshing, not to hot, not to cold the perfect warm temperature. I think I'm going to do that more often. Wake up early every friday and go out and do a bible study and read, while drinking tea or fruit juice. ^^ I am curently reading Mark in the bible. And the other book I am reading right now is called Midnight Magic. Its a very good book, it has a lot of suspense so it always makes me want to keep on reading. ^_^ Any way, I hope you are all doing well. I've missed coming on here. I'll try to update another post soon. Love you guys, thanks for all the wonderful support.
