Moments worth living

The end of the year is coming, I can already hear the jingle bells of Christmas. So, what about to take this chance and balance the things we've done this year?
Let's start with our mistakes and disappoinments, select and forget about all them. We have to clean our mind, no bitterness, no regrets. Just keep the things we've learned from the moments we've been through, because at least the difficulties make us stronger.
Now, let's think about the great moments, remember of someone you met after a long time, a view of the sunset, a trip, a party, a smile that you caused, a victory of your team, a hug, a kiss, something that makes you happy. Memorize these moments because they make the life worth living.

MOMENTS WORTH LIVING

Sometimes, we are so busy that we forget the things that make life so wonderful. These things are so small, that we do not perceive, acttualy, how big it is. Life is built on moments that deserve to be remembered moments like someone brings a smile to our face is an example of that. Unfortunattely, these moments are too fast, and because of that, we have to live each day as if it were our last. So, live and enjoy each moment even if the "moments are small".

Moments Worth Living

Our life is full of good situations, but also the bad, and in these bad situations that we really see who are the people who truly are at your side to whatever comes and that those people who make your life worth living for nothing in return.

The family and true friends make all the situations better, or even better, sometimes doing little things that make a difference, but most of times, we forget the true meaning of this little demonstration and after a bad day, we ask if all this is worth.

Yes, life is worth, just to have people we love around it. Don't forget of the important of those people in our lifes because they are the ones who make our life worth living. Remember the good times in your life. Now, ask yourself who was there and if these moment would be different if those people were not there. Always remember of those you love and who really loves you because only they wants your happiness and nothing back

Many times in our lives we complain about our stressful routine and when that happens, we ask ourselves whether this worth. When we do this we forget of lots of unforgettable moments that we share with people that we love.
We must always remember of happy moments, like when the whole family get together and have fun, when we celebrate something with our friends, or even when we get home after a long day.
So we have to watch out the little moments, because it is where true happiness is.

Modern Relationships

Nowadays, the relationships are becoming more liberl. The age isn't a problem any more. Relationships in which woman are older than man are becoming common and very successful. A good example is the couple Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher which Ashton is fourteen year yonger than Demi.
Different from what people think, this type of couple is not based on money and in desperation of woman, but self-confidance that they convey. The challenge is to overcome their fears in the relationship. The woman, jealousy, seeing the loved talking to someone younger. The man, of being seen as an opportunist.
Inclusive the television has defended this new trend by series of T.V. like "Cougar Town" which is very famous in U.S.A. In that serie, the actress Courtney Cox represents a woman with forty years old, who are divorced and discovered that youngers find she attractive. The serie shows a beaultiful and confident woman who wants a serious relationship and not a adventure.
This type of relationships are so attractive because it shows a new profile of woman: a modern woman who has in medicine an ally that guarantee beaulty and longevity for them. A positive aspect of this type of relationship is no space for competition, common in relationships where partners have the same age.
One a research realized in Brasil and over the word concluded that the relationships that have womans older than mans, grow up. From abroad, this type of relationship is more common than in Brasil. Although it is common, this type of couple still suffers with prejudice.
