A really good cup of tea
A good cup of tea should be made using cool water brought to the boil and then poured over tea in a tea pot. Add milk and sugar to the bottom of the cup, then pour tea. Then dunk cookie.

A Little Slice of Happiness

Its ok to be happy.

For almost 2 years I've been sad. Losing my mom put me in an emotional coma. Coming out of it has been difficult and trying at times. It has really felt like I was just going through the motions with my life. I don't think I would have made it without my good friends and my family.

I'm finally knitting again. Knitting lace. Lace takes more patience than I've had in ages. I've stopped shopping like a mad woman and started cooking again. I'm back on the omnivore band wagon. I'm done running away. Its interesting to see who is still here.
