Dear Tea Readers,
I'll start off first by saying Happy New Year! I hope your New Year has gotten off to a great start!
I'm willing to bet you're similar to me, start really strong with resolutions and then suddenly......never completed.
This year I decided to call them goals in an attempt to change my mindset as well. If I think they are goals perhaps they will be more attainable than resolving to change something!
Your thoughts???

Dear Readers,
to update this thread, let's do a spring goals topic.
It could be a pick up to where you left off on your New Year goals(i.e. loose those pounds or quit smoking), or something new (like spring cleaning goals)~
Trying new teas or experimenting with new art forms using tea~
Tell us here Thanks!

Dear Readers,
Hoping you're still trying to attain those goals from the beginning of the year, but if you haven't it's ok to start today or even tomorrow!
Whether your goal is to just keep your journal up to date, or to exercise more, just clean that closet!
Just don't give up!

Hi Mary,
I did not set specific goals because I am not into making resolutions for the new year anymore, but I did want to make my life better by making healthier food choices and doing more activities that enhance my spiritual peace. I can't say that all has worked out as I would have liked so far, but I am eating pretty well and I do enjoy my various teas on a daily basis. Teas can be pleasurable on their own, but they also add to my sense of wellness and wellbeing.
Thank you for the positive messages!

Dear Debbie,
That's fabulous! You are well on your way. In my research somewhere I remember a report that stated if anyone included tea drinking into their lives either everyday or several times a week or a couple of times a month~ that one was already into a healthier lifestyle!!
It can help us to destress, or mediatate or just slow down ~
Keep up the great work.

Dear Readers,
I'm just about to finish up some spring cleaning! Yep, sometimes it takes a while to "get" to everything you wanted to do in the Spring, I say "no harm no foul!"
There is no rule book that says it can't be called Summer cleaning instead, and actually, I think I've renamed my "to do"list to my "house bucket list" that way I won't feel guilty even if I've died before I get it done!
Ok giggle with me! Have a great day and enjoy writing out your House Bucket List!

Mary, I too, have dragged Spring cleaning out through summer but I did get the garden paths edged of weeds yesterday and that feels good!

A true sense of accomplishment be yours!! It feels good and I'm glad you can check another thing off your "house bucket list"
Hope you have a great day and enjoy the last bits of summer in your flower garden!

Dear Tea readers and goal achievers!
Just when I thought I was reaching the goals I had around the Thanksgiving holiday...you guessed it, another holiday!
Sometimes I think that during the holidays, we set our goal bar way too high~ since if you're like me, you want it all.
Not only do you want to achieve the mundane projects, there's cards to write/make/address, gifts to buy, pick up/wrap, there's a food list outside the list for regular eating! Because we have to make cookies don't we and entertain! Holy Moly!
Let's take a breather....
My today's goals are starting with a simpler day
Instead of looking at it by cramming as much as I can into one day, perhaps letting a few things go on the wayside.....days later that same thing I didn't get done....... still didn't get done.
So instead, I will put three goals on a list, achieve those and everything over those three is an accomplishment!
Have a great holidays...take a breather...rethink and hopefully you'll feel like you actually got something other than spinning wheels done today!
Leave your thoughts and ideas here for more tips and organization and holiday rush ideas!
