I haven’t blogged in awhile….I don’t know if my excuse is more that I’ve just been too busy or just because I haven’t felt like it.
Last week I got my butt kicked by that nasty flu. The last time I can remember being that sick was when I was a kid. It was SO miserable. Luckily for me I have the nicest husband in the world that pretty much waited on me hand and foot the entire time I was sick. He is so nice and I am so blessed to have such a wonderful man.
Speaking of husbands and marriage, I’ve been thinking lately just about how blessed I am. I have a few close friends that are going through divorces right now and I just couldn’t imagine how horrible that must feel…..more than that even just realizing that the person that has vowed to love you an be faithful you for the rest of your lives has broken those vows.
I would consider Steve & I to have a very healthy marriage. We disagree once in awhile like every married couple, but we are both committed to loving and respecting each other and we have learned the importance of communication and honesty. I really couldn’t imagine losing the love of my life. Steve is truly my best friend in the entire world and it when I look back on my life before Steve I’m not really sure how I functioned. He truly is my better half.
On to other topics…..coffee (yum!). Although I’m not catholic for the last few years our church has taken 40 day during lent to kind of refocus – both for vision for our church and for personal vision for those that go to the church. Usually everyone who wants to participate will fast something (media, food, TV, sugar, internet) and this year I felt like I was supposed to give up coffee. I really don’t think I’ve ever given up coffee for any purpose or even for more than 24 hours before (at least in the last 12 years) so this is a real stretch for me. It’s been a week or so now, but I’m learning the I really love tea!
Of course I miss my coffee, but I’ve actually been feeling better since I’ve been drinking green tea. I never realized how good green tea was for you! Besides being loaded with antioxidants (click here for info on what antioxidants are) it’s good for your complexion, heart, lower cholesterol and even helps prevent cancer! As much as I miss my morning coffee I’ve really been enjoying my green tea. The stuff I’ve been drinking has about half the amount of caffeine that a cup of coffee does so it’s nice to still have a little bit of help in the morning too. So....here's to tea!

I love green tea! I've noticed such a difference in how I feel since I started drinking it! I bet after this 40 days you won't even want to go back to coffee!

sorry that was my comment full of typos.
take 2:
would you mind sharing where you buy your green tea at?
I normally buy it from Traders Joe's....it's cheap and good! I also like the China Green Tips tea that Tazo makes - you can buy that at most grocery stores and of course your local Starbucks as well!
