Christmas 2013, Bergen, Norway

-

The norm for Bergen, Norway (at the end of the Gulf stream at 60N23, 5E20) is not a white Christmas, but a rainy one. Thank goodness for all the pretty lights!

Happy holidays to all of you! GOD JUL!

Best holiday wishes to you, also! We haven't been above freezing for about a month.

Merry Christmas, hon! We had lots of cold and snow, until it turned into early spring. It's supposed to be really cold for Xmas though.

Dig the weird weather.

Merry Christmas Keera!

I hope that it is a great holidays season with much time spent with loved ones. Doesn't matter if they are friends or family, it just matters that they are there. I've spent this Christmas with so much family that I feel blessed.

I'm behind on everything and need to catch up on all your posts. I just checked and it's been since the end of August, which is when I picked up and moved back to my home town. Living on my own and loving it - even if I don't think I'll catch up to myself till next summer.

All the best,
Ellen

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
