par It was very sweet.
Fresh even though warm, probably due to the mint leaves.
It left a little back taste of rose aroma, my favorite secret ingredient to add.
It warmed my soul more than it warmed my hands.
I drank that cup in a hurry. Did not give it that much attention.
While I was in the car, I thought about it.
My brain could not stop thinking about that cup, it just had a sudden zoom-in.
That little cup containing hot liquid.
That little detail in my morning, so insignificant yet so important.
It filled me with energy, it made me happy and ready for my day.
If that little cup of tea was too hot, or too cold, it would’ve made me quite uncomfortable and embittered.
This little cup of tea can be compared to anything you think is insignificant.
That seat warmer during the winter, towels fresh out of the dryer, first dip in the swimming pool, taking off your shoes after a long day, nice friendly note, mama’s meals, cold cup of water, fluffy dog you meet on the streets, and the list can go on for multiple lines.
These are the little stuff you encounter on your daily life but you do not pay attention to.
These are the little stuff that can make or break your day.
These are the little stuff that lift up your mood, comfort you, and make your life experience better and easier to endure.
These are the subtle hugs the universe sends you.
Enjoy every little thing, as insignificant as it can be.
It may be a blessing, like that little cup of tea in the morning.
Or coffee.
Or Juice.
Or water. Whatever you consume.
