The simple art and pleasure of making and pouring your chosen tea means you are taking care of yourself. A moment in time where it really is all about you having a moment just to be.

Hot Water for Tea
And when you are just being....what are you saying to yourself? Give yourself a break. Breathe. Inhale deeper than usual and exhale. Do it again. Every now and then take a sip of tea and breathe deep again. Are you starting to feel calm and centered?
This is your soul time.
This is tea and meditation. Not so hard is it? You deserve it. Accept yourself and know that you are right where you need to be. Your purpose is unique and important. Have compassion for yourself. Quite your mind and just be. You are a creation of pure white light. That goodness is in you. Don't let your mind take that weekly moment away to soothe your soul.

The tureen and the plate are both gorgeous! Perfect for fall. Tea time is a lovely time to just relax and enjoy our blessings.
Tea time is indeed centering time, enjoyment time, relaxation. Love the transferware and your lovely sugar bowl! Thanks for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

Yes, tea time is a time to relax and savour all that we have. A time to be quiet and reflect on our blessings. Love your tea wares, Sherry. Thanks for joining me for tea.

Lovely, Sherry - and you are soooo right. Tea time is more than just sipping tea! : - )

Stopping by from the Totally Terrific Tuesday Link Party. We love a good cup of tea. There is just something so calming and relaxing about it. No matter how busy we are, when we have a cup of tea it truly does turn into a me time moment. Thanks for sharing.
Great post,Sherry, Tea is not only good but when we stop to enjoy a cup we can relax and calm ourselves during a busy day. Hope yours is a blessed one.
I made a lovely "sigh" after reading this post. A cup of tea is the perfect antidote for busyness and stress. Even the thought of it calms me!
I love my tea time and have it everyday. I think everyone needs to take a break and just relax.
Tea time with your beautiful dishes would be extra special!
Thanks so much for sharing at AMAZE ME MONDAY...

While coffee gives me the kick to get going in the morning, tea in the afternoon it such a special time to unwind and get ready to enjoy the rest of your day. I do like that fox hunt plate.
I was feeling completely exhausted today when I came back home from work and the sun was already setting down as the days are so short... But a nice cup od tea gave me some energy back!
Sereni-tea, Love it.
We all need to take a little time to just let things be and have a cup of tea. Lovely reminder to slow down and relax.
How true that tea is soothing especially in a pretty white cup such as yours.
AH ..Thanks for the relaxing teatime moment... of simplicity... Hugs
Tea does indeed soothe the soul, Sherry, and you've said it so well. I love your pretty Fall setting.
