And my daughter and I often retreat to bed for our Friday morning tea and toast time. Often very prosaic and nothing fancy or romantic, just comforting time. When I need to replenish my own spirit I have often taken a tea tray and a book back to bed. In our house we do this very regularly.anodynenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615274882068597937.post-65113032389535817192011-12-12T15:26:11.172-08:002011-12-12T15:26:11.172-08:00Nope.

Is the tray metal, wood, porcelain? LOVELY! I take tea in bed often. Although, I don't eat often in bed, so rarely food in the bedroom, as I don't like those crumbs between the sheets...LOL! But I love making a little pot of tea, gathering writing or art materials and tinkering for an hour or so. I carve out "me time" often. I have to, that time is too important to me to compromise on for long. :o) Happy Weekend ((HUGS))Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179096002434748927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615274882068597937.post-82500228337065165142011-12-08T19:13:10.019-08:002011-12-08T19:13:10.019-08:00That's such a cozy and peaceful scene.That's such a cozy and peaceful scene.S.

He did all his morning work from between the sheets. I highly recommend it. Pick a day that involves some sort of research. Gather your research materials, or your lap top, a pot of your favorite tea, napkin and something upon which to nibble, then having a morning work session ala Churchill. Then, gradually get to a point where all your doing is enjoying the unhurried time to yourself. You might be surprised at how taking the time to reboot yourself through some quiet contemplation can really get those creative juices flowing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593860335824008512noreply@blogger.com
