A Simple Cup of -Ty is a thought-provoking, beautifully photographed book that began as a family tribute to a beloved family member. Trisha was a cousin of the author (Elda), but was lovingly thought of as an older sister. She attended many family reunions and enjoyed the jokes and puns that were always a part of the conversations. Her wisdom guided and helped all who knew her.
When she died, Elda wanted to do something that would help honor her. Trisha was a writer and always encouraged the family to write. So, it seemed appropriate that Elda would write a book for Trisha, who was also a lover of tea, and incorporate some humor as well as wisdom.
Each reflection includes at least one quote that helps in the exploration of the meaning of each -ty word. At the end of the examination of the word, there is a page to write personal thoughts. Some of the words are lighthearted, such as the study about jocularity, and others inspire self-examination, like paucity.
Along with the word study, there is a photograph of a teapot or teacup that enhances the word study. These photographs were taken by Andy. He takes mainly scenic pictures of the oceans and mountains, so this was a departure for him. The photographs include some beautiful handcrafted teapots and cups from around the world.
The book concludes with this thought: I hope you have been encouraged and challenged as you read through this book. And I hope you enjoyed the pictures. Our prayer and hope is that you make your life one that is worthy of the person you are.
