Wonderful Friday Thoughts written by Regina Brett

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.

16. Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living, or get busy dying.

17. You can get through anything if you stay put in today.

18. A writer writes. If you want to be a writer, write.

19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Overprepare, then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

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. Always choose life.

28. Forgive everyone everything.

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.

35. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.

36. Growing old beats the alternative – dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable.

38. Read the Psalms. They cover every human emotion.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

41. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

42. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

43. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

44. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

45. The best is yet to come.

46. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

47. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

48. If you don't ask, you don't get.

49. Yield.

50. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.

Chicks on Bikes

Chicks on Bikes is the first book to visually chronicle the culture and lifestyle of real women motorcyclists. The photos and stories range from sassy young racer girls, wind-roughened seniors, leather-clad outlaws, chic corporate climbers, grease-covered mechanics to motorcycle fashion designers.

In the past, women on bikes have been portrayed in the media as bikini-clad sex-objects or clinging to the back of a male rider. Classic movies have shown them as sluts and outcasts. This book casts aside stereotypes and takes a look at who real women riders are today. The photos and writings convey the women’s passion for riding as well as revealing often surprising thoughts on the risks and rewards.

This is an awesome representation of women riders. Enjoy!

robert reich on the public option

don't sit in the dark wondering what you should do, and don't let ignorance drive you to complacency, oh and don't let your complacency take away someone else's opportunity.  thanks for sharing liz.

a little story about tea, yep, tea, the drink.

i just wanted to write a little story about tea. i am a tea drinker, and up until last weekend, i really didn't know a whole heck of a lot about the stuff :-) . Well, we were in chinatown and stopped by this tea shop called vital tea leaf http://www.vitaltleaf.com. the owner was there and had his son "take care of us". he took us on an amazing journey through the history of tea, it has been in his family for 100s of years. the chinese believe that tea has serious impact on your health and that without it they would not be able to eat all of that greasy, animal lard filled food that is the main stay for their society. :-)

this is what i learned, could be a bunch of baloney, but i doubt it.

first things first, preparing it. you should always use loose leaf teas, bag teas are over processed and crushed and that removes all of the polyphenols in the tea that contain the health benefits (antioxidants, etc.). when you seep your tea, you should only seep it for 15 – 60 seconds, if you let it go longer than that, it loses the polyphenols and is filled with tannins and caffeine, which makes the tea bad for you. you should never pour boiling water over your tea, boil the water, let it set for 3 minutes, then pour it on your tea. Also, you can use the same 1 tsp of tea for 6-8 cups of tea in an 8 hour period. so what right? what can tea do for you?

we tasted lychee black tea, good for "degreasing" when you are eating heavy foods, it breaks down the fat. milk oolong, irrigated with milk the last 3 months of its growing time, sweet and delicious. angel green tea, hand-picked young, and air-dried, good for high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. blue monkey people with ginseng for energy. jasmine pearl tea for eyesight, memory and filled with antioxidants. puhrar tea, a black tea used for weight loss. champagne oolong a mix of red and white teas, probably good for you too, can't remember why, hee hee. monkey picked green tea which is grown in the high mountains of china, they used to use trained monkeys to pick the tea because it was too high and the terrain was too difficult to navigate without damaging the tea. lychee fruit and black tea which was a sweet desert tea. last but not least wild roses from syberia, the tea was actually rosebuds, drinking flowers is my favorite.

we also learned that oolong means "mistake" in chinese and it is used in a tea name whenever they mix something, and it is not in its pure state. beautiful mistake if you ask me.

last, you don't even need a fancy tool to use loose leaf tea, put a tsp in one cup, rinse it with hot water to remove some of the tannins and caffine, pour out the water, fill your cup, seep for 15-60 seconds, pour it into a new cup using a little strainer or a dish to hold the leaves in. cover them and reuse them as desired. if it is good tea the leaves are big enough that you might only get one or two in your cup.

i love tea.
