It's hard to believe we've entered a new year and new decade. 2019 went by so quickly. This is the day for making resolutions and setting goals. I recently heard a speaker say statistics show if goals aren't written down it's unlikely they'll happen. Some choose one word to focus on throughout the new year.
I read two devotions this morning for January 1st. One focused on the word 'contentment'. We should always strive to do our best, but to say "I won't be content until this or that happens" means God is not enough for us now.
The second devotion was from my new book Jesus Always by Sarah Young, with the opening line "Don't Dwell on the Past." The two words she focused on were gratitude and joy. Gratitude produces joy.
I have SO much to be thankful for... the love and forgiveness of my Heavenly Father and all His blessings, which includes wonderful friends, some of whom I've met through blogging and the tea world.
My first cup of tea in 2020 was Teakruthi's exquisite Ceylon White Gold Tips [pictured above]. It was so light and delicate, and will yield at least two more steepings. Very grateful to the friend who sent it. What was your first tea in 2020?
I LOVE Pantone's Color for 2020 - Classic Blue. As you know blue is my favorite color and Pantone says it instills calm, confidence and connection. Its enduring blue hue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era.
Who wears classic blue better than the Royals? Princess Kate seems to have a fondness for it more than others.

It was my 'color of the year' in 2015 when we remodeled our living room, and I agree with Pantone that it's very calming. I used it as an accent color with light blue walls, carpeting, and white cabinets. Are any rooms in your home decorated with classic blue?

Do you have any classic blue garments in your wardrobe? I checked mine and I don't have anything. I might have to remedy that!

Happy New Year and welcome to 2020. May it be another year of your interesting and informative blog posts.
ReplyDeleteAnd, my first tea of the New Year was Stash Christmas Morning. Delightful flavor and a favorite of mine for the holidays.
Happy New Year, Phyllis! I love the "Color of the Year" - it's my favorite color every year, and yes, I have some clothes that color. A few years ago I had to intentionally look for other colors, or everything I own would have been blue!
