Savoring the Brightest Part of My Day!

For my Facebook friends, you've already seen these pictures...but for the rest of my friends out here in Blogland, I just had to share these with you!  I don't know if you are a tea connoisseur or not, but today I made a discovery that perhaps some of you have already seen and this is old hat to you...but it certainly made me smile today!

When I opened up a new box of Lipton Tea Bags I was so surprised to discover that they have added tag lines to their tea bags!!  What a delightful way to start my day:



 "Brew Your Taste buds into a frenzy!",  "Embrace a world of possibiliTEAS!", and "A Sip of Sunshine to Soothe the Soul"... (some of us would like to make that "SONshine to soothe the soul!", Right?

 This one on my morning teacup:  "Never quench your thirst for adventure!"  What a wonderful way to start my day!!!  Just what this old gal needed...a new "thirst for adventure!"


And so, this afternoon I brewed another pot of tea (we make our iced tea from these pots of tea...and as an added bonus I get a cup of hot tea to "savor the brightest part of my day"...

"Inspiration is just a sip away!", and "Why not brew up a little ray of sunshine?"....

Thank you, Sir Thomas Lipton, for these words of inspiration today!!  You certainly helped start my day on a brighter note!  I think this is to help make up for taking away the individual tea packet/envelopes  a couple of years ago...which totally made me unhappy...so I will forgive the Lipton tea company now since they came up with a way to make me smile with my cup of tea!

I hope this brought a smile to you today as well!!  I guess this could go into the "Thankful Thursday" category!...Let me add a few more things I am thankful for:

1.  Friends and Family who have come from across the country to encourage and support our dear friend Sharon during her battle with cancer.  Such a blessing...I may write more about that later.
2.  That same dear friend Sharon encouraging our son and his wife with a joint business venture that helps lighten her load and blesses them with added income.
3.  Answers to prayer in different areas of home and family life.
4.  Sunshine, Flowers and  God's beauty all around.  The way God's Word brings inspiration to my day, every day!

Psalm 34:1
"I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth."

  2. Oh- I love those little snippets on the tea bags. What a great way to start the day! Sadly, I won't see them because I am a coffee drinker and my eyes open and I start my coffee poem......coffee/coffee/coffee--don't talk to me or get in my way--coffee/coffee/coffee. Then I take my first sip and am a happy little clam again! lol xo Diana

    1. What kind of tea do you drink? Lipton is my first choice, Red Rose is next for everyday tea. All the fancy teas I drink for tea parties. This is the first time I've ever found tag lines on Lipton. It was a new experience for sure!

    2. Oh, glad you like my teapot too. It is actually a Christmas teapot, with snowflake design in gold. It came from Cracker Barrel a few years ago. (it was a gift).

  6. Lovely little tea pot. I love tea :).
    I like Barry's Irish(one bag makes a little pot),Sweetouchnee, and Twinning's Orange Pekoe which is my favorite.
    Salada has little sayings on their tags.
    "A man who says his wife can't take a joke forgets that she took him!"
    "Most people have minds like concrete:permanently mixed up, or permanently set"
