So just remember with my grandfather and grandmother … and it turns out life values could not be obtained with the bustle of life and all its complexity, these values can be obtained from a simplicity and adherence to the values of life itself… As evidenced by this grandmother.
A tired old grandmother….. Carrying on a labor market Yogyakarta Beringharjo… and grandmother (70 years). His daily living by providing services in carrying groceries Beringharjo market.

All this is done because of compulsion by the state. She was desperate to make a living in the market to survive Beringharjo feed themselves and their families.

Every woman blessed with a different beauty. Courage to explore the potential and beauty show will help women build strength hidden within him.

It’s true. If used wisely, the power is in every woman will help achieve success in various fields of life. Unfortunately, not many women who realize that they have the power within each of them. and the power of nature’s unique, special.
Beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

Beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes, because that’s where the door of his heart was in love.
Beautiful woman painted by the power problem, smiling while depressed, laughing while the heart is crying, bless while humiliated, fascinating because forgiveness. Beautiful woman, to love unconditionally. Gaining strength in prayer and hope.

Take care of beauty that God has given and give thanks with all the advantages gained. I hope you belong to the people – smart people who give thanks.
