Så er det vinter igjen.
Skrape bilen om morgenen. Glatte veier med is og snø.
Samtidig så både kaldt og vakkert.
Når jeg ser på frostrøyken i folks pust, eller snøfnugg som daler sakte, så blir jeg minnet på hvor vakker vinteren er, men og hvor mye jeg har å være glad for...
Allt som er del av livet mitt nå, og som har gjort att jeg er hvor jeg er akkurat nå. For enda jeg har mye å gjøre, og mye og lære, er det lenge siden jeg kan si jeg var så lykkelig.
Men det skal jeg snakke mer om siden, så dette blir en kort filosofisk oppdatering. For akkurat nå står jeg på Gardermoen, og venter på det som gjør meg aller mest glad og lykkelig...

People and life
I have not written much in English here lately, so for that sake, and in the idea of making sure I am understood, I will write most of this in English:
We all have many people in our lives. People that influence us, from the day we were born. Some are good influences, other are bad. Some are monoliths in our lives, while others may pass almost without notice even if they have left changes or marks even still.
And in most cases, we still know these people are, or have been part of our lives. But how much thought do we really put into that? Do we try to see what they have left us with, for good and bad? Often the answer is another question; "Does it matter?". And often it really does not matter. But other times, it really *does* matter too.
People like your friends. Those that are there, sometimes clearly and having your back, other times, maybe less obvious, but still present. Some of whom you can tell everything to. Others whom you just can talk to, lending you an ear.
And of course, family. Those you are related to by blood, and not by choice, for good and bad. Those that are supposed to support you almost whatever you do, especially parents. Even though they too love you and want the very best for you. And can both have prejudice and be overprotective.
And not to forget those that capture our heart. At least those of them, that we really can see or feel a future with. That not just share love, but also share your life. Whom often make more of a difference than either will know, despite the obvious changes it usually mean for both.
On the other hand comes people that have been... less than good. "Friends" who turn out not to really be much friends at all. Bullies. Troublemakers. Bossy people. almost all of us have had our share of those too. And while we can't normally count ourselves thankful for that, many of them have changed our lives, and often left us wiser or stronger, even if it would have been a painful lesson.
---
And on this note I want to thank the people in my life.
To the friends I hardly remember much else than flashes and a birthday party, from before I were 4. for what they must have meant for me.
To all real friends I had or have, even though I am far too bad at keeping in regular contact. For all they have taught me, and for having been there and made a bigger difference than I ever have made them aware of.
To family, for good and bad. For the times they have been there, and what they have taught me. And also for anything they have done me wrong with, that have taught me what to not do in life.
To people that have crossed my path, for long or short times. For all they have left me with or taken away. For the help and challenges given to me, and many valueable lessons.
And least of all, to the one who has my heart. Whom teach me more and do more for me than she know, and helps me more than I could spell out, while I still, always, have many more things to learn. For dreams and hopes.
Most of the people I want to thank is here in my life, while some are not, in ways or senses. And while a post is not enough to really say thanks, it is something at least, to dedicate a post about awareness for those in our lives, to also say them a thank.
So: Thank you. Weather you will ever know.
---
And on track again, to give a thought to those people in our lives, is certainly worth the time. So we do remember to thank those that deserve it, and show our appreciation of what they do for us. Of whom they are to us. To make sure they know they matter. Because that might often make a huge difference to many people. Bigger than we often realize...
