Updates

Ah yes, my blog. It's been awhile since I last posted, but I thought I'd say hello again. And since I haven't really formulated a coherent entry on any given topic, I'll just post random thoughts for the time being. :)

- I keep two main journals; one is a personal one and the other is a work-related one. I started them around the same time (a few years ago), and I recently noticed that their page counts are nearly identical - meaning that I've written about the same amount in both. I don't know whether or not to be disturbed by that. :)

- Life is often full of challenges. I'm realizing the value of just taking things one day at a time.

- I've been working on flipping my perspective on various issues...issues like how I use my time and how I react to things. It's been helping, and I'm encouraged to see some changes in myself.

- Indian food is delicious! On a related note, I've decided that I need to find a recipe for Madras curry (a coconut-based curry sauce).

- Handbells is going well this term. We're playing a few pieces that I'll grow to love, and the group is working hard and is crazy as usual. Last night we spent a lot of rehearsal time working on just trying to hit our plucking notes. This, of course, involved a lot of laughter. :)

- Tea time really is my favorite time of day. I drink either green or white tea in the morning, and I drink herbal (or at least non-caffeinated) tea in the evenings. Since I've recently expanded my tea collection, I now have a variety of teas to choose from each day. My favorite choices for the morning are: Orange Blossom White Tea, Authentic Green Tea, and Imperial White Peach White Tea. My favorite evening choices are: Sleepytime Tea, Chamomile Tea, Madagascar Red Vanilla Tea, and (before I ran out) Candy Cane Lane Green Tea. All of these are made by Celestial Seasonings, except for the Orange Blossom one, which is made by the Republic of Tea. I have several other types of tea, but these are my favorites...for now at least. If you have any favorite teas, I'd love to have some recommendations for the next time I'm out shopping for tea.
