Black tea (💕💕) Camellia
The plant that black tea comes from is called Camellia sinensis, and the leaves are usually dried and steeped in hot water to make them into a beverage. This can be cooled to create iced tea, but you can also make a wide variety of different tea blends with it, with options like Morning Tea and Earl Grey being very popular.
While it contains a wide range of chemicals, black tea is generally considered to be quite good for you when it is consumed in moderation. Along with caffeine, black tea also contains antioxidants, along with a range of other beneficial chemicals that can improve your overall health.

Mitigate Despair-Learn to Quilt!
Serenity Prayer: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
Advice from a friend (Lucy McBride).
In other words, mitigating despair requires:
Facing the fixed harsh realities of life (i.e. death, loss, grief, aging)
Coping with these realities as able (i.e. giving yourself permission to grieve; managing complex feelings with support as needed; prioritizing sleep, exercise, and good care of your body and mind.)
Directing our energy to the areas where we do have some control (i.e. relationships, hobbies, volunteer work, creating and enjoying beauty, leaning into joy.)
