I am fully contented and happy with my life! I am living the best life and I have everything I need in my life. Just a simple question, do we ever take the time out to realize our blessings? Do we ever take the time out daily in our lives to appreciate the simplest things life offers? Someone else could be dreaming to live in a house like ours or crave for a meal like our daily meals.I always try to use my tea-time as a means to appreciate the simple things life offers us.
To be honest, we live in a very cruel world. At times, I get really depressed watching the news while scrolling through my news feed. A refugee crisis, never-ending covid scenario, post covid struggling businesses and the list goes on and on. I have realized that the difficulties continue in life, but one ought to spare some moments to appreciate life’s little things and continue advocating for human rights.
My tea-time provides an opportunity to acknowledge that I have three blessings in my life: food, water, and shelter. I feel very privileged that every day I can cherish the basic necessities of life during my tea break. When I look at my tea table, containing my favorite mothering savory and sweet snacks, I feel so blessed and contented. Moreover, my beautiful tea crockery fills my heart with mirth and joy, and momentarily, I tend to forget all the ugliness of the real cruel world.
Certainly, I am struggling with managing my time, working towards my daily and short-term plans and long-term goals, but this doesn’t mean I don’t spare time to appreciate the little beauties that life offers. We often come across a number of people living without basic necessities, but we still forget to appreciate what our life offers us. We need to enjoy the blessings that we already have in our life than running after what we don’t have.
Here on this note, I sip from my teacup and invite you to be a part of my tea lifestyle. For me, it’s an event to celebrate my little beauties of life, my family, my friends, and all of you. The little chitchats we have and the time we share together, not only relax me but also give me the strength to face the challenges of the real world.I feel blessed and happy with my tea-time, as these are one of the best moments of my life.
Honestly, I always was not the person who should be thankful for life’s small blessings. I started appreciating small things after I got the best chance in my life to meet my teacher and mentor Shaykh Hisham Kabbani. He has always emphasized appreciating life. He gives real-life experiences of heroic examples of people who have done so much for others.We tend to achieve all in our lives but we always remain ignorant to enjoy the little beauties and blessings of life.The moments we share together, the jokes, the experiences, the emotions, the laughter, and importantly a good cup of tea together.
Let’s sit together for few moments over a cup of tea and cherish the little blessings we all have in our lives. I will continue to share my tea adventures so stay tuned!!!
