TO RISK....
Thursday, 4. December 2008, 20:04:04
This has been a very interesting week so far. 
Snow is all around and ,as a big kid I am, I have spent so many hours outside playing and slipping (more like falling) on beautiful, perfect and smooth snow! YAYYYY!
Fun times while ice skating, no broken bones... yet haha, only small bruises that I appreciate to have, as they remind me how good is to have people who actually cares (feels so good, especially when you are miles away home) Thank you, guys!
Incredibly good (perhaps necessary) chit-chat with friends I haven't seen in a while: planning trips, sharing laughs, fears and dreams. Let's hope it doesn't take too long until the next update hehe.
Lack of sleep is back!!! But I actually enjoy it so much, very interesting nights and stories to tell... woot! Someone is missing tho.
Being in the middle of nowhere for the weekend, in a very very small traditional town in Southwest Norway, turns out to be soooo perfect! Feels really cozy, calm and Christmasy. I love it.
And here something to think about...
TO RISK
To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out to another is to risk involvement,
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self
To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss
To love is to risk not being loved in return,
To hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk to failure.
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow,
But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live.
Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.
The pessimist complains about the wind,
The optimist expects it to change,
And the realist adjusts the sails.

I would actually dar to add that if you are genuine and true to yourself, most of the things named are not that much of a risk anymore as people appreciate the honesty. At least my experience of causing some superficial inconveniences that are outweighed by far with all the good experiences.
Have a top weekend!
