  • Words of Wisdom...

    A friend of my forwarded this to me... I like it... I think I need to spend life enjoying it... not complaining about it...

    1)    Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
    2)    Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.

    3)    Buy a TIVO, tape your late night shows, and get more sleep.
    4)    When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement:  My purpose is to_______ today.
    5)    Live with the 3 E's: Energy, Enthusiasm, Empathy.

    6)    Watch more movies, play more games, and read more books than you did in 2006.
    7)    Make time to practice meditation, yoga, tai chi, qigong, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.
    8)    Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.

    9)    Dream more while you are awake.
    10)  Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less foods that are manufactured in plants.
    11)  Drink green tea and plenty of water and eat blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds, and walnuts.

    12)  Try to make at least 3 people smile each day.
    13)  Clear your clutter from your house, your car, your desk, and let new and flowing energy into your life.
    14) 
    Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of
    the past, negative thoughts, or things you cannot        control. 
    Instead, invest your energy in the positive present moment.
    15) Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are
    simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away           like algebra
    class, but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

    16) Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.
    17) Smile and laugh more. It will keep the energy vampires away.
    18) Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

    19) Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
    20) Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

    21) You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
    22) Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
    23) Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

    24) Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, and wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
    25) No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
    26) Frame every so-called disaster with these words: "In five years, will this matter?"

    27) Forgive everyone everything.
    28) What other people think of you is none of your business.
    29) Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
    30) However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
    31) Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

    32) Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful, or joyful.
    33) Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
    34) The best is yet to come.
    35) No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, and show up.

    36) Do the right thing.
    37) Call your mother and father often.
    38) Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am thankful for __________.
          Today I accomplished____________.
    39) Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

    40) Enjoy the ride. Remember that this is not Disney World and you certainly don't want a fast pass.

    conservative-minded Midwesterner finds his well-mapped-out life taking

    man who can't help but falling in love with the titular mischief maker
    (played by Elisha Cuthbert) despite her brazen ways.

    Weird... I really don't think this going to be good... The korean version was definitely classic...but really weird...

  • Pura Vida!

    So back to reality... Ick...  Costa Rica was amazing! So much fun!  Beautiful country... wonderful people... yummy food... and amazing coffee! Whats not to like?  Ok... their plumming isn't the best and can't flush toilet paper, but at least they flush the important stuff...  

    Pura Vida is a common phrase in CR.  It means "pure life" literally, but they use it as a greeting and also equivalent to 'cool', 'great', 'awesome'. 

    I had 2 food obsessions while I was in CR... sandia con leche (watermelon with milk-blended) and ceviche (raw fish marinated in lemon juice, chili, cilantro, onions)  yum!  And the coffee there was amazing!  There are coffee plants everywhere!
