So I got my new apartment sorted. Painted and fixed. I still lack a few items to make my home "complete". I need a dining table, dining chairs and maybe some chairs in general. Juuuust about to get my new living room table a new shine with som painting and then it is all set.
I've done an awful lot of late. And I'm tired. And uninspired. It is a lonesome gig and it feels so final. I don't really know what is next for me, and that is shite. I have always had plans - and now I suddenly have none.
Is it a good thing? I feel like I am conforming into a square life - and I ve never conformed. My personality is my personality...I guess it is how you all in all identify yourself with what is YOU?
And yeah - I am not sure what is happening to my job come fall either - maybe I should just make a decision about it all willing itself to work itself out - It does seem to me that things always work out in the end. But what the hell is the end? I hope it is tomorrow.
My Life here in beautiful Lofoten.... Life in general, in pieces, and in bits. I hope to colour your world with my thoughts and I hope to share my world with my loved ones...I guess my focus is both micro and macro oriented...and all in all i think that Love conquers all barriers...

Oh May, may you stay!
May is wonderful.
Usually a busy month for everyone and all around Norway.
My May of 2011 has been just AWESOME thus far. I bought an apartment. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??
My very own little sanctuary. And only mine to keep. I am a slave to The Debt now. But I am a slave to my own, and nothing else.
I turned 30, and then I won the bidding round for this apartment. They say I have been a lucky kid. Cheap housing in comparison to a lot of other houses/apartments on the market. Got it for 100 000 kroner less than the market selling price. YEYAHH!
Naturally so, I am quite the busy bee now. I am painting up the place before I'm getting settled in. Which is good. I can make it my own - and every bit as cool a place as I want it to be.
After a winter and early spring filled with heart-break and sorrow - life yet again inspires. There are still a few things that need to settle in place - I still don't have a steady job, but by the end of May I will find out my fate in that department. What ever happens I know it will work out fine.

Heaven is a place on earth
Yesterday I went to see the "popping grandpa" talking on-stage (look him up on youtube!).
The man is a person of many many achievements - making it far on X-factor, he has been a athlete-scientist over a long period of time and he has during his ripe young age of 66 mastered a fair few disciplines, being a living example of how your dreams come true due to putting theory into practice and not let all of society's limitations (sometimes visible and sometimes invisible) hold you down. Oh how great it is with a bit of practical cheering up once a while.
He made an imprint into my conscious decisions and I am dreaming up different things I really want to do during my life-time. Life is meant to be done not dreamt.
Oh and with all the catastrophies hitting the globe through war and natural tragedies what are you to do? It might as well happen to me tomorrow. I wont go down having any regrets <3

Lofoten Marathon
To "set it in stone" I've decided to blog about this.
I hate running. It hurts and it s exhausting. So I've decided to make it my summer project to run the Lofoten Marathon. I will be running 10Ks.
My training schedule:
Yoga and Zumba - twice a week (2 times altogether)
Walking - altogether 4 hours a week
Bicycling: altogether 3 hours a week
That's goal number one. In the end of April I will try to walk 10ks to see what it means in practice and how long it takes to actually walk it.
In May I will try to run it.
In june and july I will start to walk in the mountains - twice a week.
In july I will try to run the 10Ks for the first time. My goal is to make it in an hour and a half.
The competition is at the end of August....
What do you think?

Choosing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle
I made a choice in January to turn around on my bad habits and to become a healthy and fit young lady.
This in all its practical glory means that I have started to use this online tool to count my calories, to make sure I am inside the daily intake that is recommended.
Further I only have one day a week where I am able to eat whatever I want. Interesting - cos I end up eating healthy on that day as well, as it turns out that it is actually quite sickening when I choose to eat unhealthily.
My sweet tooth is still around, but is slowly being fazed out.
I have a fitness goal for the first time in at least 10 years, as I will run 10 kilometres in the Lofoten Marathon in August.
3 or 4 times a week now I do excercises that makes me sweat. Which feels good - both in mind and body.
All easy steps - but important ones to take me in the right and healthy direction. Making sure to hydrate and keep healthy.
And last but not least. I am trying to get enough sleep. I need my 8 hours worth every night - and I am almost there.
Turning around and trying my best to stay healthy will work in my favour in the long run - after all - i am soon turning 30 you know........Still a bit freaked out by that but I will make sure the next decade will be fun filled and a happy one.
Internal focus in changing your bad habits in life are crucial to be able to fully change and maintaining a consequencial changed life. It is hard work, willful work and it requires a full wholehearted wish to make ones life better.

The Ugly Truth
Clarity, I welcome you <3
You strengthen me, you guide me. Stay for a while and keep me company.
I love you like a sister and you give me peace of mind.
I know how to prioritize
I know how to balance
I know how to love
I know what not to spend my energy on.
Thank you

A message to the bitch...
Undercover, sometimes over - under so many a layer.
Over - under, under, over - observing the twisted purveyor.
Why oh why? My oh my, through all, thick and thin...
Pushing on, pushing forward, she will NEVER win!
<3
I am ready
I am steady
I am an intellectual.
You are sorry
You are a worry
You are one ugly individual
<3
How could we, always be, when she has forced this through?
You showed me, human strength is unbelievable
I want to be like that too!
<3
So, here I go
Bring it on
Try me, I am ready
Be a bitch, you will lose, my love conquers, it is steady.

Right expectations
Hurroooooooooooo!
All things need time to settle. All new things. I guess? Not all things come naturally........
Expectations can create victims. Emotional victims. I've learnt that in my life I have high expectations to the people closest to me, it is not always that my expectations are met, and that is sometimes fair enough - and sometimes not. There are some good rules to follow:
1: Consider your expectations, do they match reality?
2: Voice your expectations and thoughts on how things should go down between you and the people around you.
3: Voice your dissapointments as well, when your expectations are not met, but make sure you think through how you want the outcome to be before you start your complaining.
I had a big realisation this morning. I act like a victim when let down. When someone dissapoint me I have a tendency to back off and close off. It is not right. I can sometimes act like a spoilt brat. I realise that my expectations don't always match the reality of things. And I get dissapointed. And that is fair enough, it is all about how I handle it altogether. I need a confidant, and I need time but I reckon I'm pretty good at handling stuff :) And having that inner perspective as well as connecting to those emotions coming up in different situations, always questioning why I react the way I do to things....It is imperative in the reality I live in.

2011oh how you seem hopeful :)
Don't you just love it? That feeling of exitement in the pit of the stomach of the year ahead? It is like an empty canvas, and the only thing stopping you is not having the colours...Or access to the paint! Dang, my metaphorical intelligence is just Assum today!!!!!!!
I think I am one of those who can access a whole lotta paint, but scared of lacking the colours. Life and the world truly is my oyster - I just hope that I can use my head to the best of its' ability. Choosing what I want to do with my life is not the problem - But how can I make the most of it? How can I make good strategic decisions and just put it into good use - reaching the target goals..................? And am I using my creative abilities as best can be? And am I utilizing all the colours? To create the most beautiful painting out of the empty canvas?
My goals u ask? Still way to many to pick and choose from...I'm in the thinking box (as we say here in Norway;) ) How about your goals?
