I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth for this week's T Stands For challenge found here.
This is my summation of the past week:
Teddy will be serving double duty as my main image plus as my "T-Day ticket" for my T-Day posts.
Soooo... it's been a little over a year since the last time I joined the Tea Gang. Very few positive things have been going on in my life, so I’ll regale you with Teddy Tales:
At the beginning of 2022, "Minnie T" joined our household. (He’s the small bear in the photo, surrounded by Christmas holiday flavors teas.) However, Teddy and I disagree on what happened, when Minnie T first joined us: Teddy said, "This house isn’t big enough for two bears! He is unwelcome here!" But after a few days, Teddy realized he could "mold" Minnie T in "his image", so he said Minnie T could stay, and that’s also when he got his name (Minnie Teddy).
Teddy claims that is NOT what happened: Teddy said I am the one who said Minnie T was unwelcome, and that Teddy had to beg me to allow him to remain here.
Shortly before Halloween, Teddy informed me that his "cousin", Halloween Teddy, was coming to spend the holiday with us. Teddy told his cousin, "HT", that I had promised I would take them on an outing to the Hound of the Baskerville Woods, as Teddy calls it, before Halloween, to look for the ghost hound that we had heard howling there the first time we walked there.
That outing still hasn’t happened, but we did go to a cemetery that was hidden in the woods. And Teddy was thrilled to receive surprise Halloween art and candy in the mail, from the very thoughtful CJ.
HT’s original departure date was first extended to Thanksgiving, then he said he wanted to be here for Christmas and New Year’s Eve, and last I heard, he wants to stay to see the August 2023 Blue Moon here. ;-)
Teddy refers to his bear gang as Team T, which is an abbreviation for Team Teddy Bears. A few times, I’ve caught Teddy whispering to them about "the cat" and "majority rules" and "voting him off the island", but when I’ve asked Teddy about it, he denied that they were discussing "the cat".
This year has flown by. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!

Your T stands for Teddy post 2 years ago to this same day speaks volumes of your sadness during the Christmas holiday: https://annescreativecornucopia.blogspot.com/2020/12/t-stands-for-teddy-and-christmas.html
Are you speaking words that bless your future? Think about it this way: During the course of your day, if you were to take a survey of your words and place the positive words you speak on one side of a balancing scale and the negative words you say on the other side of the scale, which side would weigh more?
Yes life can be tough and at times, will try to push you down and steal your dreams, your joy and your sense of value. You may be encountering challenges and difficulties. And, perhaps, you just can’t seem to get out of the rut. Or because of past circumstances you’ve become negative and discouraged. But the key is not to use your words to magnify the problem. Utilize your words to speak hope, love and blessings for your family and the people in your life.
For many are waiting for and need to receive a kind, comforting word from you. As you tip the scales in the direction of the positive, you will experience a new sense of peace and happiness and you’ll live an overcoming, abundant and joy-filled life.
Marcel Proust - "Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom."
Lovely to see the teddies.
All the best Jan
