I have long known that I am lucky to live in the country I do, to have the family I do, to have had the oppertunities that I have had, and the life that this combination has afforded me. I am blessed to have a good job that affords me the ability to buy all that I honestly need and much of what I want. I am blessed to have a husband who I love with all my heart and who feels the same about me. I am blessed to have a healthy baby boy who is thriving and warms my heart with his smile even at 2 AM when he is hungry. I am blessed to have a couple of goofy dogs who drive me nuts sometimes but mainly make me laugh and smile. I am blessed to have a wonderful network of friends, even if I am not the best about getting together with folks. The Christmas season is one of my favorite times of years. It gives me time to reflect on where I am and where my family is. I only hope that 2013 is as great as 2012 was. I pray for a better year for those who I love, and those who I do not know, who have known pain and saddness and sorrow in 2012.

And with that, I now turn to tea. I finished off my Camel's Breath Pu-Erh last night. I am getting close to finishing a lot of teas. I'll be bringing home a bunch from work because my Dad likes tea and the way he makes it uses a ton of it. While this normally drives me nuts, I can remove my favorites and replace them with the Teavana stuff that is good but not my favorite. Hopefully by the time he leaves on the 30th, I will be in a position to re-order my favorites and happily settle into a better tea routine. ie One that allows me to go through my teas more quickly and not waste so much.

I think I will order one new tea to try with each reorder and if there is something I think I want to add to the regular rotation, figure out which one I am drinking less of an remove it.

I am thrilled that I am at a point in my life where I can give tea this much consideration. I am aware that it is an indication that I should get off my butt and find some group to volunteer with so that I can give other peoples needs more time and consideration then I give my tea collection. I think I will take that on as my New Years resolution.

And with that, I am off to make my third cup of Pu-Erh.
