O Lugar da Felicidade

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Nada pode matar o melhor de nós,

Nem a ausência, o desgosto, a dor da solidão do mar implacável

Nada.

Para quem acredita na felicidade

Todo mar é porto

Toda terra significa destino a ser cumprido.

Sempre sonhei

Com os olhos abertos,

Nunca me impus contra a própria vida ou felicidade.

Sei que sou pobre viajante

Generosa com a pouca condição que a vida me deu.

Sou realista e confiante.

É um jeito sábio de compreender a vida

e não cair no posso de si mesma.

Quando vejo que

Minhas rachaduras

Podem me afogar,

Ouço o barulho do meu silêncio,

e estabeleço comigo,

a comunicação que abre

As janelas do mar,

Vejo no horizonte um sol

Que reflete as cores da esperança.

Páro alguns minutos e reflito a descansar

Com o vento suave

Tocando delicamente o meu rosto.

Sinto que ressuscito

e volto acreditar que existe

O Lugar da Felicidade

Supercharge your health with the right food combinations: 9 delicious recipes to ensure the best ‘you’ – Study Finds

What are some food combinations that can improve your health?

Hobson says if you want to boost your mood, combine your daily apple with some leafy greens. Having fish curry, which combines both turmeric and oily fish, can create a powerful anti-inflammatory. And eating banana together with yogurt can improve bone health and help with gut bacteria.

Olive oil helps the human body to absorb the vitamin A found in tomatoes and red peppers, which is required for healthy skin and eyes.

Black grapes, rich in polyphenol antioxidant catechin, helps to prevent cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurological disorders. Mixing them together with onion can inhibit blood clots and boost cardiovascular health

Secret to eternal youth discovered? Lifelong exercise keeps the muscles from aging – Study Finds

“The single most important message from this study, is that even a little exercise seems to go a long way, when it comes to protecting against the age-related decline in muscle function. This is an encouraging finding which can hopefully spur more people to engage in an activity that they enjoy. We still have much to learn about the mechanisms and interactions between nerves and muscles and how these change as we age. Our research takes us one step closer,” the researcher concludes.

Study authors note that they still have to examine the impact of lifelong exercise on people over 80. Future studies also need to look at the relationship between recreational activity and muscle health among women.

‘We know Ukraine will win — but will we survive?’ Russian troops have been shelling Kharkiv for 25 days. Meduza spoke to the civilians who still live there. — Meduza

Russian troops have been shelling Kharkiv nonstop for over three weeks now. The city’s residential areas and historic center are completely destroyed, and necessities like food and medicines are difficult to come by. More than 100 civilians have been killed, while hundreds of thousands of others have fled the city. Meduza spoke to some of the people who remain about what life is like in Kharkiv and what’s motivating them to stay.

A Wrinkle in Time

Crackled like the tree with all of its imperfections,
I pay homage
So why, not to me?

After all, I’ve lived through the years,
climbed mountain tops, stumbled and fell,
Eaten shit and died.

I’ve scraped by, been beaten and bruised, raked over the coals, withered in pain and cried.

I’ve seen blue skies and rainbows, birthed babies that split me in two,
opened my heart that took my breath away.

I’ve stretched over rivers, through valleys and squeezed through the cracks, and cried out your name.

Cavernous and worn,
with laugh lines and joy.

Aged in beauty to perfection in the sunshine and waves of Cali bottled like fine wine.

I stood in your shade but more in the light
and now my vulnerabilities show a wrinkle in time.

I’ve earned every one,
