happy

I can't help but feel completely happy lately. It's lovely, really. In my  home, relationships, job(s) and self : I am happy. 

Days as of late consist of biking (!!), walking to my jobs, to my school, spending time with my beloved(s), drinking tea with lemon and honey. Cooking dinner with ingredients I have never used before, working at the coffee shop and having so much fun, leaving the doors open, closing when it's still light out. Learning to like brewed coffee, black.  

The list could go on. I guess I'm thankful that I'm happy. When you are not happy, you can remember a time when you were happy. When you are happy, you can tell that you weren't happy at some point. It's nice to see a contrast. It's nice to record the simplicities of your daily life and how you feel. 

I'm looking forward to the weekend. One of my dearest friends turns 29 and we will celebrate. I will see my family and I will catch up with my love. 

Happy day friends, I hope your bike rides make you smile.

tea

tea is good for many things. it is good when you are sick. it is good when you are sleepy. it is good in the morning and at night. it is also good at any time to make you feel so nice. my first cup of tea that i can remember was in grade 4. it was peppermint. i had never heard of peppermint tea before. the smell, before my first sip, made me feel so happy. when i tasted it i knew it was my favourite. it still is. tonight i can't sleep and i am drinking tea. it is licorice because my dad likes licorice tea. it makes me think of him and feel like i know him and that we are sharing something nice. to tea. v. xo
