Before you go on to watch this video blog, I feel I should warn you about a few things:
- The volume isn’t quite as loud as it should be, so you might want to turn it up a little to hear what I’m saying.
- But… during the last minute of the video, you’ll want to turn the volume DOWN, unless you enjoy mediocre harmonica solos.
- This video is extremely silly, slightly awkward, & really embarrassing for me to watch. I almost didn’t publish this but Jonathan convinced me otherwise. So, please send all hate mail to HIM, not me. I was all for saving your eyes & ears; Jonathan wasn’t.
(Many thanks to Jonathan, who helped me edit this video, because — if you can believe it — it got much worse after the harmonica playing.)

There were so many things I wanted to say to you in that rather humiliating video, but it wasn’t anywhere close to sounding graceful or articulate. Thank goodness I write better than I speak.
I’m really so grateful to all of you, my lovely readers. You have single-handedly helped make Apricot Tea a well-loved space on this vast internet. Your encouragement & support has kept me diligent, & for that, I appreciate every single one of you. If it weren’t for you, Apricot Tea would not exist.
So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for the heartfelt, positive comments (& emails) that brighten my entire day. & thank you for your constructive criticism, which has allowed this blog (& myself) to be more wholesome & true. Thank you for allowing me to come into your daily lives with my musings & opinions. Thank you, especially, for being some of my most dearest, most treasured friends, on the internet, & in real life. Before this blog, I had no one to call a friend. I was seemingly all alone in my thoughts & had no one — other than Jonathan — to share them with. & now, because of Apricot Tea, I have soul-sisters all over the globe, which makes my heart pitter-patter with delight. It’s a marvelous feeling to be so loved & cherished.
& before this starts to get so mushy that I begin to cry all over my desktop, I’ll stop talking. But seriously… thank you.
