We hosted what will probably be our last teacher tea yesterday. This is really a gift for us. We invite our kid's teachers to our home for tea. It started as a way to use our fancy tea set (thank you Grandpa Swanson) and became a tradition. But now that both boys are in middle school, I thought we were done. BUT, Ben got the teacher Nate had in 6th grade and she asked me "Do you still do Teacher Tea?" So we did!My other gift yesterday was driving slowly and carefully. I drove to yoga and the minute I was on the rode felt myself get tense. People were driving fast and the roads were awful and I started to get mad at people who were trying to pass on the right hand side. I decided "Time for gift" and told myself, "I'm not in a rush. I'm going to slow down, be careful and try to give other drivers the room they need." So instead of getting mad at the driver trying to pass on the right, I slowed down to make it easier for him to get around. I got to my destination a little later and a lot calmer.

A gift of tea. How lovely. I hate to think it is the last teacher tea! Not already! But other things will take its place. And the gift of patience and carefulness in driving. THAT is a gift to me as well as my daughter is so precious and I cannot have her getting hurt on the road. So I thank you for that gift for myself!!!! Snowy roads. I have almost forgotten. Winter would not be so bad in WI if you could only just stay home. Be careful luv.
I love tea!
