Yeah...I got a lot, but...these are probably the most important ones 1. Be more patient. 2. Have some "ME" and "PLAY" time. 3. Be more outgoing and adventurous, and last but not the least... 4. Lose more LB's (need to lose around 5-8lbs more) and keep them off.

Got this in an e-mail from a friend today and I loved it.
Two Glasses of Wine
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 glasses of wine...
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else He asked once more if the jar was full.
The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two glasses of wine from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf ballsare the important things; your family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions; things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else; the small stuff.
If you put the sand into the jar first, he continued, there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life: If you spend all your time and energy on the small Stuff.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18 holes. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf ballsfirst; the Things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the wine represented.
The professor smiled. 'I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of glasses of wine with a friend.'

I'm at a café, and there's here a russian lady, and she's speaking portuguese! and, omg, she speaks perfectly portuguese and she almost don't have any accent! I don't know how many year she lives here (and I don't know if any of you speaks portuguese), but I can tell you that it's really hard for foreign people to speak portuguese correctly(even for portuguese people is hard, ;D), especially the verbs, and she has doing it! and the accent, is really hard too! and this makes me wonder: how do you, people from east, do this kind of things? I have family in foreign countries, being there for more than 20 years, and they still have the portuguese accent when they speak the foreign language! and I know foreign people, from england and france,..., being here for many many years and they still their accent, not the portuguese one!
