Vinterlandskap

Som en slange bukter den seg, vinterelva. Som en brun snok på kryss og på tvers gjennom vinterlandskapet...

Tomorrow is not promised




Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are and who you want to become.
-
You never know who these people may be; your neighbor, child, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know at that moment that they will effect your life in some profound way
-
And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they seem painful, and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obsticles you would have never realized your potential strenght, will power, or ability to love.
-
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whether they may be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road to nowhere, safe and comfortable, but dull and pointless.
-
The people you meet who effect your life and the success and downfalls you experience create who you are, even the bad expeiences can be learned from. In fact they are probably the poignant and important ones.
-
If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.....
-
If someone loves, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would never have seen or felt without them.
-
Make every day count. Feel every moment, every joy, every despair, and take from it everything that you possible can, for you may never be able to experience it again.....
-
Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen, let yourself fall in love, even though your heart may break, set your sights high....
-
Hold your head up because you have every right too.

"LIVE EACH DAY AS IF IT WERE YOUR LAST..... TOMORROW IS NOT PROMISED"
