Favorite quotes:

• “it doesn’t take long to like a person — when once you begin.” Henry James
• “The alphabet of common sense is something you will never learn,” the Doctor permitted himself to respond. Henry James
• Wherever there are two men, there will be two opinions. Anthony Trollope
• “We always lose when we evaluate ourselves according to someone else’s ideas or standards. And there are as many standards as there are people. A jock measures you by your athletic ability; a student by your brains; a steady by your looks. It’s a losing battle,” he said, striking a sour piano chord for added emphasis. “We have to forget about what people say or think, and recognize that God’s values are the only important ones.” Joni Eareckson Tada
• Children have one kind of silliness, as you know, and grown-ups have another kind. C.S. Lewis
• Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed. C.S. Lewis

Favorite teas:
I'm still loving Stash's English Breakfast Tea. I'm still drinking away my green tea...and my white tea. I have tried two new teas this month.

• Stash's Organic Early Grey Black and Green Tea
• and Stash's Organic Chai Black and Green Tea

I haven't drank sweetened tea all month.
