Wednesday, 10th June

Its cloudy outside my window,another mid week. Time does go by rather fast.Am trying to dream in my sleep and be present when I wake up. Its tougher than I thought, its not as easy as they say it is.

Mindgames

Sometimes a mind can wander dangerously, it’s almost like you have to grab it, keep it safe, nourish it with what’s good so you can be safe too. Sometimes I think the mind is like a another 'you.'

Anne Frank House

I visited the Anne Frank house on 8th June 2009 in Amsterdam with Rune. It was a moving experience that makes me write this. I came to work and all I could do was read more on Anne Frank, her father Otto Frank and her friends, mother, Sister etc. (Wikipedia) Such a sad story, perhaps because she died so young with so much dreams and hope. And then I realized if she never did die and her diary was published, perhaps it would not make the impact it is making now over 60 years.

It’s almost like God chose her to represent others who perhaps have gone through more. Rune and I walked through her and her families rooms, and her bedroom wall still adorns pictures that she stuck to make it more colorful and hopeful. Pictures of actors and actresses she admired and photos. It is really amazing that something as simple as that could be preserved and means so much. It tells a small part of a girl’s story that means much more. Its like picturing her there in that room, putting up her pictures and writing her diary.

In a way she reminded me of me,( not at all referring to any suffering bit in this case) But I used to write a diary, had big dreams as a child, loved to write. Though what I wrote even though wanted to be private it really never was. My private thoughts were in my head and remained there. But Anne Frank wrote her innermost thoughts in her diary with no fear. I guess that shows fearless character too? And she will always be remembered as a young, pretty, and an innocent girl forever more than what she probably wished for...

Spring flowers and smells

Its Tuesday morning and am at work, I was actually in the middle of some small work when I realized I have'nt posted for a while ( hmmm starting to sound cliched am sure)

Well yes, I did get a job finally! and I love it! wow are'nt I lucky to say something like that? Sometimes I cant believe that I managed to do the things I am doing right now, like doing the work I never thought I would be able to do, yet doing it now, being the person I am today and just doing the things I do daily.

Well its spring now in Norway and its so beautiful, yesterday my husband and I went for a walk ( after my run ;) ) at past 1030 and returned past 1130 pm! The flowers in spring are so beautiful, the smells so wonderful. Its like a miracle to see the flowers bloom after the long winters.

I then thought of my parents,brother and sister in law and thought they would love to see the flowers and just enjoy the beautiful nature perhaps even more than me!Well am glad they saw it at least once for now.

hmmmm lunch time now!
