I was one of the lucky ones

-

All that snow-drama I experienced yesterday turned out to be peanuts compared to what happened to some other people. Today's newspapers could tell us that yesterday's meteorological chaos was the worst since the 1970's. Well, no wonder some busses never came, and some people were forced to walk home, and some parents never got to deliver their kids to the daycare center (which may explain yesterday's cold and wet father and son).

So I was truly one of the lucky ones. My move through life and traffic flowed easily and quickly - relatively speaking.

In other news, I've started taking the nasty-tasting pills my acupuncturist gave me. Aspirin is bitter but this stuff is worse than bitter and it doesn't matter where I place the pills on my tongue - this incredibly nasty taste spreads through my whole mouth. But it's having an effect. The acupuncturist said that I would probably re-visit earlier physical problems in reverse order (like last in, first out). She was right. I'm feeling feverish and queasy now. Sheesh!

It had better be gone tomorrow because I have a party to go to tomorrow evening.

Ah yes, the downside of natural medicine. Healing crisis or detox and all that jazz. So often you have to feel worse before you feel better. I hope it passes quickly.

Still feeling it. Of course, a wild night with lots of booze probably didn't help. ;-)

Cleaning out my surf-box

I have a folder in my mail application, labelled "surf" into which goes e-mails containing links to sites to read or explore later. Most of the mails are from myself to myself. Here are some gems worth sharing: It’s not what you plan to do that comes first, it’s what you’re willing to give up to make time and space to do it. From the Lifehack article Letting Things Go , which is a good read for us procrastinators. It touches on one reason we don't do what we want to do: We simply don't make the time for it. Somewhat related to the above is Merlin Mann's suggestion for getting a fresh start by replacing one project . Find something that gets you really excited and makes you feel energized and hopeful about the prospects in your life. Pretend for a moment that you can finally scratch an itch that you may never have acknowledged until now. [...] Excise something stupid, and undertake something cool.

Brave enough, after all

Prologue : I am no longer on partial sick leave. I am considered well and am back to work 100%! I have new tasks but am the master of my day, even though my work calendar has never been as full as it is now! Now: I was tasked with teaching some part-time workers about what a beta tester does at work, the temporary position I was in for over 18 months while on partial sick leave. And having not ever done this before, I was easily driving myself crazy. Eventually, after trying to plan the lesson and more or less succeeding, I got to a point where I started to settle down. Where I realized that it was hard to know if I was doing this right because it had never been done before. There is no measure for success for this yet. It started with a couple of things: A visit to my doctor's where I realized that "Trust, not doubt" (in Norwegian: "Tillit, ikke tvil") was my new mantra or motto. That was followed by an instruction from an online course that read, &quo
