Sipping tea & reading poetry in the rain…

There’s something deeply satisfying about a warm beverage when it’s raining outside. Here’s the view from our balcony at the moment.

The ritual of boiling water, steeping the tea bag for a few minutes, adding honey & wrapping your hands around the cup as the steam rises is reassuring when the sky is overcast and you’re stuck indoors.

This particular herbal tea I’m having has ingredients that help settle the stomach and give you a boost of energy — after the Covid booster shot sapped my force for 2 days.

The tea is made of Ginger, Turmeric, orange peel and oil 🍊 as well as licorice and black pepper.

Soothing for the nerves and system 🙏🏽

Also, calming is reading poetry. In this case, my own for an upcoming book video trailer:

I hope you enjoy this brief post and that this finds you in good health and spirits, getting ready for the weekend around the bend :)
