Recipe for a long-lasting marriage

lucy Updated 27 Aug.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2014
Today I saw a video on BBC channel about the British couple which is still together for 80 years. They´re now 101 and 102 years old.
They were dating for four years and then getting married, couldn’t earlier, because mother of the woman wanted her older daughter to get married first. She also didn´t believe this relationship could last.
The couple raised together four children, however lost one son… They have seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Moreover, they ran common business.

I am not sure all the men in this Community would agree with that. But a sweet place to start - if you are a woman. Laugh. :) Thank you for the story.

haha I think that maybe no man in the world would agree with it :D man in the video said it when laughing and I also wrote it just as a joke (that's why I wrote smiles) :) :) I think tolerance is important from both parrners

Princess of the light

lucy Posted 26 Aug.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2014
Dear community,
today I´ve heart for the first time this song and I was so surprised when I found that it´s made in Slovakia! You probably guess why We do have some good singers, but not so many well-known singers, bands and songs..
,,Princess of the light", the song of slovak group Lavagance, has so beautiful melody and lyrics..
Video is special with dancing SĽUK - it´s Slovak folk group, typical for it´s costumes, dance group, folk music and choir.
It represents Slovak wedding of SĽUK dancer…

this at the end touched me: ,,What we do know is that, as the chemical window closed, another awakening took place; that the human spirit is more powerful than any drug - and THAT is what needs to be nourished: with work, play, friendship, family. THESE are the things that matter. This is what we'd forgotten - the simplest things."

Success is...

lucy Posted 23 Aug.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2014
Sometimes we compare us with others who we think that they are more successful, more healthy, more beautiful, have better relationships, greater figure, better-paid jobs... or we sometimes meet someone who seems to be looking on us from high and we can think, that even if we are trying, we will never get what we want to and be satisfied with what we have.
I like this picture, it is very inspirational for me. It says, that success, as well as happiness or health, is not always what you see...…

People are individuals and everyone's way of life it's different. All things and everything needs time to develop. Don't look around and don't compare yourself with others. Everything that has happened in your life has a reason, believe me. The problem is, we live in a fast world and we want to know the reason right away, we are impatient. Usually you realize only later why some things happen in your life. The life is like a wave with up and downs and all things has a reason, with the time one is added to the other. Be patient and trust in yourself, you can't force anything. ;))

Croatia

lucy Posted 23 Aug.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2014
Last few days I spent with my friends in Croatia.. it was just a short trip, but so beautiful .
We were in Umag, the city which is located on the west coast of Istria, only 10 km from Slovenia border and 7 hours from Bratislava by car. I never heard about that city before and didn´t expect that it could be so beautiful as it was.
The small beautiful town full of lights, smells and colors, romantic sunsets, live music, beautiful sea, streets like in Italy, evening walks, swimming even in a bad …

Life is always beautiful, a blessing and a joy even if you are sitting in the rubbish dump. Nature does a lot to remind us. My view. The picture is stunning ! :)

We know that lots of famous people suffer from mental disorders... and mental disorders are so commonly linked with talent and geniality... This was also the case of Robin WIlliams - beloved actor for many people, however, vulnerable as well as the others.
I didn´t know about it, until today´s morning... I was shocked. It lasted me a few hours to realize that it´s really true and he will not play in any film anymore. I still wonder not why he suffered from depression, but why he could not find t…

If one is depressed, then one must eat specific foods. It's vital. :)
