Tea Party Thoughts: May 3, 2025

It's been a long time, friends. I published my first post and then my life immediately blew up. Not in a bad way. It was just one thing after another. And while I enjoyed every exciting thing that happened, it felt exhausting at times. Not just because it pulled me everywhere physically, but because it felt like my brain couldn't get the break it wanted. I didn't have much time for writing or creativity of any kind. My spare time was often spent watching TV to give my brain a chance to just turn off for a bit.

But now that's all behind me. Things have calmed down and the weather is getting warmer. My walks are now accompanied by the perfume of blooming flowers and even the colder days aren't that cold. This time of year always invigorates and inspires me. It could be the good weather or the fact that the days are longer than the nights. Or maybe it's just the act of opening the windows in the afternoon. This time of year is fresh and alive.

I get the Spring clean kick and don't mind even the most tedious chores. I eventually buy a few plants for my deck and even try to grow some produce (usually with lackluster results). And I've recently latched onto a new idea for a story. Something I'm very excited about completing and sharing.

And now, with my days less busy and a new surge of energy, I want to recommit to this blog. I have a lot of ideas for this blog and wish to grow it, even with just a small community. I'm looking forward to what's in store and where this blog will take me.
