Tea Talk: Sweet Memories In My Father's Garden

I'm having a refreshing lemongrass tea in my parents' garden along with my sister and niece.

Garden...tea,,,make-up...stories...

My cup is filled with sweet memories.

I'm feeling at home...a nostalgic feeling I'm enjoying now...being a daughter again in my parents' house. And of course, I'm especially overjoyed that I'm with my son for the whole week.

On my mind is my dearest mother who is in her sickbed now...I hope she'll be back to health soon so she gets to enjoy again the garden where love and peace are always in bloom.

"We love because He first loved us."

Tea Talk: To The Finish Line...

Two days more and I'm done with my summer classes and projects! I'm crawling to the end yet still grateful that I've survived long days in class with my heart spilt in 3 places. Gastric acid knocked me down for few days so I had to miss last week's Tea Talk. 3 days from now I will be with my son again after a long year! I'm looking forward to spend a week with him. Then after that...I'm home again!

I'm having a cup of instant coffee here. Nothing special about it. It's the most convenient I could get in my dorm life. But I've been enjoying real times with my classmates, too.)

Thankful that there's always a flow of drinks and snacks the class. 

I'm feeling excited! I'm almost done here!

...and I can sit anywhere I like! Here, I' was sitting on a couch at the back.

On my mind are the people who showed me all the support I needed to survive the days away from my loved-ones. And of course, my husband who's been so supported, keeping the house, and taking care of everything so I could be free to do this graduate study.

Late tea on my birthday which my room mates prepared as a surprise.

I do not fight like a man beating the air."

Tea Talk: The Joy Being a Mom

I'm having milk tea prepared by my classmate from Nagaland. She makes milk tea from scratch and she's known for her yummy tea.

My cup...the one I always carry around the campus and in class.

I'm feeling fruitful. I feel like I'm making the best of my time here at the campus this week. MA classes are going well and am learning a lot especially in my parenting class. I'm so glad to be affirmed that dh and I are on the right track...and challenged to see more room for improvement especially in dealing with our teenagers.

On my mind.....are my precious children who help me become a better person than before I had them. I can't thank God enough for them!

Thank you for sharing your tea time here at Tea Talk.

 Have a beautiful Mother's Day celebration!
