After my friend left Monday afternoon, I felt a bit bland. Then last night my beloved Lakers lost their game and this round in the series, which means they won't be advancing. The lack of early morning sunshine didn't help the blandness, either. So today I'm honoring that feeling (not hiding it) with a cup of pale (Pai Mu Tan, a white tea that turns out clear to slightly pale in the cup) tea in a white cup and saucer, a white napkin, and a white placemat.Sometimes we have to go with our feelings. And although mine was bland when I started, I am now energized and looking forward to the day. Please join Kimmie and friends for Tea Tuesday. You won't be sorry you did!

Bland also visite me and nothing is done. Constant struggle to remove that unwelcome visitor. Good for you to have moved on.
ReplyDeleteShort and sweet post today - as is mine!! Yours is not bland at all. White is a color too!!:>)
ReplyDeleteMmmmm...tea...you just reminded me that I am supposed to be saving tea bags for art projects...but I keep forgetting to make tea. I am a coffee person you see.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great visit with our friend.
It's good to honor your feelings. All the pale colors are relaxing and serene. Happy tea day.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with feeling a little monochromatic! lol Just hope your tea was good and your day better! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteVery serene setting. Peaceful. Quiet. Some days we need that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and meeting Gracie!
it's hard when someone goes home after visiting ... your white scheme describes that feeling perfectly ... but knowing you, you will be filling that void with lots of color and friendship in no time flat :)
ReplyDeleteI have never tried white tea ... I will have to check it out!
I'm glad you treated your "bland-ness" with honor and rode it through. I'm also glad to hear you're re energized!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

ReplyDeletesuch a let down, sorry...sometimes a break from color can be so calming...cheers to you and a nice cuppa too!
ReplyDeleteall those shades of pale are just lovely... I always find clean clear whites energise me... sorry your basketball??? team lost... think the lakers are basketball... sorry if they aren't... we have one of the biggest football games here tonight so everything is a see of maroon... not into it myself, but Sinus is so excited he has been sending me countdown texts... I may need quite a few cups of tea to survive...xx
