The Kindness of a Cup of Tea

"Come, let us have some tea and continue to talk about happy things."
~ Chaim Potok

I have a lovely friend whose manners and graciousness are not only kind, but also harken back to another era -- a kinder, gentler, slower time.  The other day, my children went to her home for a play date.  We chatted when I dropped them off and when I went to pick them up, she invited me to join her for a cup of tea.  I can't remember the last time I sat for tea or coffee at someone's house.  Life sometimes gets too crazy busy.  But the holidays is a perfect time to slow it down, to let kindness lead the way to rambling conversations over tea with a friend at her kitchen table.
