Tea: Mandarin Orange with Honey
Music: Radim Zenkl, "Last Supper"
Time: Night.
I really hadn't intended to take this much time off for the holidays. But ... I'm back, even if not entirely coherent.
I suppose I can blame part of it on the Christmas whirl, another part on the bug I picked up a few days ago (which waited until last night to slam me and kept me in bed for most of today) and a third on the caffeine withdrawal headache that is only now going away.
But as someone wiser than I once said, the times when one feels sorry for oneself are the times to remember (and be grateful for) the good things.
So, I'm grateful tonight for the gift of the tea, which took away my headache; for a bed in which to sleep while I shook off the bug and for the message of peace that still manages to make itself heard if one can just turn down the carols and commercials for a bit.
Fourth out of three: Food, which I've had in abundance this holiday season and which a good deal of the world has to go without on a regular basis. A few rounds on Free Rice won't make all the hunger go away, but it's a step I can take right now while I'm thinking about it.
Not to nudge, but so can you ...
