I thought it would be quite appropriate to share a quote about tea by an author today, since I an also an author who enjoys tea.

May I suggest you read some good poetry today and enjoy a cup of hot tea or a glass of iced tea, whichever fits your mood and your preference or depends upon your weather. In case you don’t have a poetry book nearby, here is a poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson for you.

Success

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty,
To find the best in others,
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child,
A garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
