a brew will see you through


Sometimes, there are just weeks when everything feels overwhelming. There seems to be a lot of homework, a lot of tests, a lot of pressure. And it seems insurmountable. I will never get through this list of assignments. I will never remember all this new vocabulary. I will never pass this exam. 
But I am finding that, in some cases, making a mug of tea makes it all better. It's not just a Libby thing, but it's an England thing too, and a Fernweh thing (see here, here & here). Somehow, a mug of tea--or coffee, or hot chocolate, or whatever your boiled beverage of choice may be--makes it all better. The simple practise of boiling the kettle, brewing a mug and drinking it slowly forces me to step back from the revision and the notes and the confusion and just be still for a few minutes.
A brew will always, always, always see you through.

    I agree. Would you mind doing a post on your favorite kinds of tea? My favorite is Irish Breakfast from Stash. But you can't beat peppermint, either!

    tea, tea, tea! I completely agree!
    I drink tea almost equally to water. My ultimate favorite is Zhena's Gypsy Tea it's amazing, organic and a recent find of mine. Love it!
    thanks for the blog-
