Big Beautiful World 21 -- For the Love of Tea

It’s a big, beautiful world out there. Let’s stop trying to screw it up. Sometimes, simple is best.Take this cup of hibiscus tea, warm and comforting on a cold November day. It's in a favorite cup, one given to me by a dear friend. I generally drink tea on the couch, snuggled up next to my boyfriend, with the cats purring away on the cushions behind my head. If I were Danish I'd say this was an example of hygge (hoo-gah), "a quality of cosiness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being." And who doesn't want to feel more content and cozy? Remember, it doesn't have to be grand to qualify as big-beautiful. It just has to be.
