There are a few truths of life.

1. Getting up and having tea is the reason I know what to do with myself every morning

2. Your response to everything around you, tells you everything about who you are. Will elaborate another time.

3. Sangrias bring out the best in people. After a couple of Sangrias, people smile more, look better, laugh louder, stay at a party longer. Everything good comes out of having just a few harmless Sangrias.
