Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life….

Hello my blog friends, thanks for stopping by! As you can tell I’ve been missing in action for a few days. This has been one very hectic week and I haven’t felt this tired in a long time. I’ve got one more work day before Easter vacation and I’m really looking forward to this break. Everything closes up during Easter in Norway. This was extremely frustrating the first years I was here, but now I appreciate the break from pressure to shop and go places and do stuff- everything during Easter happens at our own pace and I love this.

I’ve been soul searching again and while I’m not going to share everything with you…..at least not right now…I wanted to share a little of what is buzzing in my head these days…

One question that has been floating around in my head lately is, how important is it to stand for what you believe in, even if the cost (and I’m not just thinking monetary here) is high? When do you back down and find a common ground or a middle ground and when do you hold out til the very end?

Do you follow someone blindly because they are older, bigger, or in charge?

When do you question the intentions of someone else you think you should trust with all your heart…

And what do you hear inside yourself that makes you feel NOW is the time to follow your heart no matter what anyone else thinks?

Can the pressures of what everyone else thinks or believes force you to give up your own thoughts and join them- just to keep from making waves?

I heard this song today and it makes me smile and it’s a great song in a time of soul searching, a time of doubt, a time of confusion…even if it doesn’t give me the answers I’m looking for….it brings a smile to my face and for these 3.5 minutes I forget about all the worries in life and just look on the bright side of life….

Until next time my friends…..

Ah - love Monty Python!

As for all your questions... I'm still pondering them myself. I think so much depends on the circumstances and what consequences they will have...

I think you chose the perfect pictures to illustrate your questions. As for answers? I don't have them!
