With Gratitude.....

As you may easily imagine, I’ve had a lot of tea throughout the year. Sometimes I make tea for myself, and sometimes to share. In any cases, I have tea.

I tend to take that situation for granted, but I shouldn't. I shouldn’t forget that it is fortunate to be able to drink tea that I like. I can drink because I’m healthy, I live in peace, and the environment is still safe enough to grow tea etc.

I'm grateful to 2013, and hope peace, safety and health of body and mind will be with all of us in 2014.
