There are months that fly by too quickly. For example, February is one of those; we barely get used to feeling like we are in that month, and it is already March.
Maybe it is just a perception, that it seems to us that time generally passes quickly, but facts are facts. Today is the first day of March and that means... a new monthly topic for collectors. Since these topics started, every month a new theme, I have only missed one. That was the month when we started moving and I simply couldn't be behind the screen (October 2024). I realized that fact when I made a collection of monthly theme posts. You will be able to see that collection today. 馃榿
But before that, I am bringing here some words and phrases; if you want, please take a seat, get a cup of tea and enjoy the aroma of your beverage. Mmmmm, my one was indeed tasty, one of my favourite tea brands... Yogi Tea. Oh, no, this is not a paid advertisement for Yogi Tea 馃槀 but it happens that I have a collection connected to this brand. They pay attention to your well-being; it is organic tea that comes in tea filter bags and sends you a message in each teacup.
My last Yogi Tea box was a gift for Christmas, of course, that is why you see its flavour - Christmas Tea... I tried not to consume all of them during the time around Christmas, to enjoy the taste of this tea for a longer time, in other months too.
The peculiarity of these filter bags (that are inside the paper envelopes) is that the little paper labels at the end of the thin string bring a message, each of them different. They were just too cool so I started collecting the little papers with the phrases.
I kept around thirty of these messages, and some of my favourites say that Life is a gift... Say what you mean, mean what you say... Kindness is the essence of life... Have you hugged your soul today?... It is good to have micro and macro conscience at the same time... This body needs to be understood to be taken care of... Give happiness and you will end up happy...
I know it is not fair to put this as the monthly topic... as maybe you don't like this tea brand, or you don't have access to it, or you simply don't like tea, or there are no little papers with messages in your tea filter bags... However, if you have a collection of phrases (in whatever form they come) or motivational messages, please share them with us in March so they reach us too. But, don't worry if you can't find any... maybe you would like to bring a collection of an item that was already announced as a monthly theme in the previous months but you missed it for some reason... what do you think? Sometimes it is good to leave space for a free choice or simply choose a theme from the past you haven't heard about on time. This is the collection of monthly themes you are invited to choose from, in case you don't like the message idea but want to bring your contribution in March. 馃槆

P.S. As I am not at home this weekend but I didn't want to skip another month, I took the photos for this post while I was still at home. The text was written in the hotel room... So, we should now go out and see the historical part of the city centre and a museum but it is raining. And it is fine, I can have a collection of raindrops on my photos or a collection of umbrellas 馃寕 - maybe it can be the topic for some of the next months? 馃槀
