I had a cup of tea. I didn't bother using loose tea leaves, but decided to use an ordinary Earl Grey tea bag. Simplicity, in my opinion, is the key to contentment. I focussed on the tea bag and the fuzzy stuff on it's string. For some reason, it was the "fuzzy stuff" that caught my eye and decided that it was the best part of this image. It amazed me that I was able to capture the details on "a string". Nothing significant, you may think, but it's necessary. 
I love my morning cup of tea even though I will still have my cup of coffee right after. I love the simple pleasure it gives me to start my day. I love it even more for the lesson God gave me because of it. It was "necessary" for me to enjoy a taste of simplicity ... for it reminded me that my life is blessed today. God will take care of my tomorrows. "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
Matthew 6:25-27
