Time for Tea

    I love drinking tea. It is a lovely beverage which can be prepared in many delicious ways. When I spoted the book, The Republic of Tea, I though it would be a nice compliment to my evening cup. It is so much more than just about tea, or business, or life. This book is full of little gems of wisdom.  I loved the passage below from page 80.
Now for my noon-time cup...


     "People thrive on happiness. There is nothing elusive about happiness. It's here always; the only problem is that sometimes we're not here for it. One sure way of not being here is to resist the uninvited, which is sadly what most people do most of the time. But happiness is the primal birthright of the man or woman who does not resist it. The common fallacy about happiness is that you have to do something to attain it. Not so. Happiness is built into the DNA; it's not an add-on option. Happiness needs no cause. It is an unspeakable great tragedy of our times that so many people are desperately looking outside themselves for the source of happiness when it's already inside them, waiting to be tapped."
