Drink in Life
As I was opening a packet of one of my favorite Twinings teas today (Raspberry Pomegranate) and happened to notice a couple of quotes that I really resonated with.
At the top of the packet it says "At Twinings; We Believe in Living Well and Enjoying Life" and then a little further down it says "Drink in Life".
This got me to thinking... how often do we do things we enjoy without really soaking up the enjoyment of it?
Every day we get multiple opportunities to relish in the sweet blessings we have all around us, but too often, we pass them all by with barely a notice.
I think there are two keys to noticing these moments more often:
- Slowing down &
- Bringing full attention and presence to the moment
When we do this, even the smallest things can feel surprisingly rich — the warmth of a cup of tea in your hands, the first sip of coffee in the morning, sunlight pouring through the window, the quiet of an early morning, the sound of birds outside.
These tiny pauses don’t take extra time.
They simply ask us to be there for the moment we’re already living.
So today, try an experiment.
Pick one ordinary moment — maybe your morning coffee, your walk, or even washing the dishes — and drink it in.
Notice the smells, the textures, the sounds, the little details you normally rush past.
You might find that life is quietly offering far more sweetness than we usually allow ourselves to taste.
Warmly, Julie
I choose to slow down and drink in life.
