Have been to the airport twice in a week. The first time to pick up a friend who was comming back after 5 months back home, the second time to drop off a girl who's been staying at my house for the last 9 weeks. And it made me think about these small things in life that suddenly makes you meet all these amazing people you couldn't picture life without. For example, I didn't know Oline when she first came here 9 weeks ago. She was just some girl who was to stay in our house for a while... And now, it kind of seems like she's been there forever, and it was so weird whe she was leaving. I came home that night, and as I walked in the front door, it hit me... there's no one staying in my living room anymore... and it was actually sad to think about... What if I had said no to have her staying with us...? I might have never got to know her... how sad is that to think about...
It's funny to think about how such small things can be part of shaping your life... They were talking at youth today about defining moments, and it is really something to think about. It is often those small things that might seem so unimportant, that shape your future. Sometimes it might be something that's out of your control, but other times, it's just a little choice... How many times have I missed those moments because I made a small choice? A time when I should have chosen differently... hmmm... How many people have I missed to get to know?
"Every person, all the events of your life, are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you." (Richard Bach, American writer, author of 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull', b.1936)
It's getting late, so think the wisest choice I can do right now is to go to bed...
Have a great night!!

Du har virkelig et poeng i at livet vrir og vender på seg etter hvilke valg vi tar.
Har du lest "den lille prinsen"? Det er en fantastisk barnebok. Kjøp den!!! Begynn å les høyt for vennene dine.
Spesiellt kapitlet om når prinsen møter reven. Det er uforglemmelig.
Må kanskje få tak i den, da... får huske det til jeg kommer hjem..

Hei Maria.
Spennende å høre fra deg.
Skjer litt her også selv om jeg ikke har vært på flyplassen den siste uka.
Var en tur på Høgkubben(Emblemsfjellet)i kveld. Nydelig utsikt og nydelig vær(savner man slikt når man er i Australia?).
Ønsker deg en flott"vinter".
Klem Aina
