It's Sunday!
I woke up with the rain hitting against my window, the cold breeze. There is something magical about staying in bed when it is raining like that, something about lingering in your warm bed, I love it. Soon though I had to get out of bed to go to church, Mr.B made some coffee, even though I had told Lisa I was going to have tea this morning I could not resist the temptation of fresh, nice, yummy coffee.
When we arrived at church we found out there was gonna be a wedding in the service( that is again one of the amazing things about Africa), a wedding! I had a blast, a taste of an African wedding, lovely! I was blessed.It was just like a western wedding, except people were dressed way more fancy, and it was much more heart warming.
We had a lovely lunch at a Chinese restaurant, with a couple that are friends with the Borden's. They are really nice and sweet couple, and it was so nice to have met them and their cute kids. Some of the faces that are written on my heart.
I am now sitting at home, writing on my blog and sipping heaven from a cup of tea.
The most amazing tea I have ever had.
Vanilla and Hazelnut with a taste of ginger, cinnamon and cardamon. I am in love with it!
Add to this Sunday recipe a lot of love,and Mr. Trevor Borden's music and you will have a sense of what my Sunday has been like...Heaven!
Everyone should have a Sunday like this, everyone should enjoy time to relax, everyone should come to Africa, everyone should...LIVE!
I have my bags to pack, my room here to tidy, my teaching shelf to go through, but right now I am just gonna enjoy my peaceful moment and think about my little zen quote on my tea "Let your heart be your guide".
My heart tells me to relax, and enjoy, and sip my tea with calmness, and listen to my music, because it might be the last time, I actually have time to enjoy life, in a simple way, before I hit the street lights in Portugal!
I am thankful for this day,so thankful, if I were to die tomorrow I am pretty sure I would be ok with it. Of course there are a bunch of things I haven't done, but I sure did a lot of new fun things here, and actually LIVED. So then I guess I would be ok, it's no fun to die if you have never lived, but I have lived, maybe not to the fullest, but to some amazing degree. My soul rejoices in that, my heart is glad!
So here is a little tea message for you all...The beauty in you, is in your spirit!!!!!
I feel beautiful!
And you ARE beautiful!! :-)
