“A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.”
Proverbs 17:22
I wish you could have joined me early this morning. It was rather delightful.
The sun was not quite up and so I lit the candles on my dining nook table in my kitchen, poured myself a strong cup of tea (with sugar—I haven't died yet). I have put a small couch in my dining nook because it has windows that face my outside smallish garden. I sat quietly in the candlelight, music wafting softly in the background, and sipped my golden tea. Just then a small bird came hopping up to my window and sang a bird song. I took delight into my heart. I think it was an angel or God.
That is what I hope you will have today while we have tea together.
