So, Spring has finally arrived in Bergen! The days are warmer & the sun sets later. Everyone is outside enjoying the weather by hiking or simply having outside hygge & having a beer. There’s lots I can’t mention in the entry but I am nervous & excited for the next couple of weeks.

Today is a KAVU day outside, it’s severe clear & all the mountains are out. My husband is running to to do some errands with our silly 4 legged family member while I get some peace & quiet to write.

I have been reflecting lately on where I was a decade ago, & where I was before that. I feel like I have come a really long way but I couldn’t do it without my husband who has been so supportive & have weathered some real storms with me.

It makes me grateful for the simple things, I always look forward to him coming home from work & so does the 4 legged creature. Somehow it has become the highlight of the day for us two, the four legged creature & I.

I am traveling next month, & have started getting really excited about it. It will be good to go back & only be a tourist rather than someone who lives there.
Hope all is well out there & keep a look out for my new entry in the coming weeks. Hopefully I will have good news?!

Lots have happened, somethings look promising while others I can’t write about in my blog. I can however say that I am looking forward to traveling in May; it should be fun. However, what we are missing is a reliable dogsitter. Something we truly need as we learned from our mistake last year.

I had to write about my mental health recently & it was more difficult than I thought. It was however cathartic to write it out. I have learned quite a bit in the last 6 years but among those things are how important my meds are & keeping my head clear. There’s still too much shame surrounding mental illness & it needs to change.

As for the signs of Spring are here, the booths are coming back to the fish market in town & one of the first cruise ships of the season was in town today. It was a relief to see it leave this evening as the city was chuck full of people today which made it hard to get around.

I learned a ton at the founders weekend I attended a few weeks back. I learned that my idea is a good one & got it confirmed again today which was great. We had 70 degrees today & it was wonderful out. Spring is finally here!!

Last weekend I participated in a 3 day workshop where you work in teams to create a valuable product by Monday morning. The topic was sustainability and followed the UN’s top 16 steps to save the planet. Something I found both interesting & fun. It’s also about damn time we start doing instead of thinking about the planet.

I adored the event as I learned so much not just from the people I met but also from the teams that had a clear plan on how they wanted to work on the project they had chosen. The team I chose we didn’t have the group dynamic that made making the product viable. I could bitch but I won’t.

What I learned this past weekend is that my generation & the generations after me are interested in creating better environments not just for everyday people but for felons & children that have to be driven to school. The people I met where wonderful & I may the plan in place to get my idea off the ground. Something that I am very excited about.

Oh & I have lots to do, catch ya’ll later.
