Not Your Cup of Tea

Not your cup of tea
Definitely not your cup of tea

Am I being negative when I say I’m “not your cup of tea”? I thought this was an expression of how one feels toward something or someone. For instance, if I am “not your cup of tea”, what am I really saying? Do you think I am being mean or negative toward you? Furthermore, I am using it as an expression to let you know that I know who I am and who I am not.

Just a spoonful of Sugar to add to your cup of tea

A little sweetness to add to your cup of tea. I do not use fake sugars. For example, splenda or sweet-n-low packets. If I use sugar, I like to use the kind of sugar that ants would eat. Why is that? Well ants were put on this planet for a reason and a purpose just like you and me. Have you ever done a scientific experiment where you have one packet of artificial sugar on the counter in one end and real sugar on the other end? Let’s assume you have, and the results show that the ants will at least investigate the artificial sugar but ultimately gravitate toward the real sugar cane. This is just my observation and opinion I am writing about regarding some sweetness.

A little splash of milk in that cup of tea

“Splish Splash” let me pour a little milk into your cup of tea. Yes, adding a splash of milk to your tea is a personal preference. I also may add that adding a spoonful of sugar, artificial or not to your cup of tea is also a personal preference. But, don’t let me stop you from adding a splash here and there. Perhaps you enjoy your tea on the darker side. Additionally, you could like it on the lighter side too. Ultimately, it really is your decision on how you take your tea.

Sip & Think about it

You read that right! I recommend you sip & think about that one for a minute or two. Perhaps you should sip & think for a minimum of five minutes to a half hour. I wonder what you will think about? Will you sip that tea on the darker side or on the lighter side with some milk and sugar?

If I come across a little too abrasive, that would be your perception. I am sharing my thoughts and sipping from my Envision Dream Sip and Think Black Mug. Black the symbolism of mystery and elegance. I would rather get my thoughts out there than let them sit and wallow. Sometimes you need to let the negativity go. Above all, try to stay positive. This too shall pass!! Again, this is for those who feel I am “not your cup of tea”.
