Reflection

"Tea"  8x10 Oil by Deborah Northey

"January is a good month to reflect upon the past year. Perhaps what you have accomplished, what you did not accomplish, what goals you were able to meet, etc.   What????????? I can't remember what happened yesterday, let alone last year. So, I get a nice cup of tea, find a nice quiet place, and reflect on how I am in the moment. Be mindful. I check myself out. How do I feel physically? Does anything hurt? Am I comfortable where I am sitting. What about my emotions? Am I happy? Am I sad? Am I feeling angry or stressed or anxious? Then I just sit with it.  I take a few long, deep breaths, and I drink my tea. I smell the tea, taste the tea, and for a few moments, enjoy the tea, mindfully!"
