I drank my tea while it was still hot and nobody interrupted the first half

Dear Delyara, The cup was warm, the house was briefly quiet, and for several whole minutes nothing urgent entered the room. No one asked me to find something, decide something, sign something, answer something, or absorb the emotional overflow of anything. The tea remained tea from first sip to halfway through. I didn’t realize how much I needed an uninterrupted beginning to something. Apparently, quite a lot. It’s such a tiny victory, but tiny uninterrupted things can heal more than people think.
