Happy New Year

First off, I am not color blind. I know the image doesn't go well with my template. Further, I don't care. It's bright and happy. It looks like a party. I like it for that reason.

Ok, let's look back for a moment - In 2012 there were 172 posts on The Everyday Tea Blog. Of those, 156 were tea reviews. That is a lot of tea! I uploaded 15 general posts and ran one contest. It was an exciting year for this blog and my tea journey. I continue to be amazed by my favorite beverage.

Looking forward, I already have maybe 30 new to me teas ready to review. My plan is to slow the blog down a little. That's my plan. It probably won't happen. This is my second post of the year already, and as long as the tea keeps rolling in I will no doubt not be able to resist sipping. Once sipped, I must write and share with my readers.

Last year was personally a hard year for me and probably for many of you as well. The new year isn't really starting all that great. So what are we going to do about it? Sit and whine? No way! Let's start with our attitude. You are free to work at it however you will. For me, I begin this year by lifting my mug in humble gratitude, giving thanks to my God for creating the leaf that brings me so much comfort and joy. 

Happy New Year and good warm mugs of tea! May this be a year of peace, health, and prosperity for us all.
