Wintersun

Hello, once again! I am sorry for being away for so long, but it was very hard for me to post something valuable here, for the last days. I was lacking of time and imagination. I hope this blog will be back on track as soon as possible.

I said previously on this blog that I hated wintersun. Maybe because in Portugal is so common to see it and for the last few years, it can be seen almost everyday, due to droughts and the lack of rain. But, after some months in Norway, I really love it!
It had been snowing for some time, here. And the days are becoming smaller and smaller. The weather has been cloudy for many many days... and I started to feel tired, to feel cranky and with a very unstable humour. I wasn't feeling happy, but depressed. When the sun comes up at 10 a.m. and goes down at 2p.m. it is horrible for me...I need light to live! IT is so odd to live when there's so few lighttime... I admire the people that actually live up north! How can they live without one single hour of sunlight, during so long?

I was asked about the cold. If I was feeling really bad, because it must be really cold, here in Norway. I answered it was just a matter of clothing, and afterwards everything was ok. The worst thing is light...Definitely! Especially for me, a person that loves outdoors, that is never at home, that enjoys walking and being outside for hours, it is impossible here. Due to cold and to darkness, since there is no time to do anything during such a short period of lighttime.

But, where there is darkness, there will be light!
Yesterday, it was a beautiful sunny day and the light reflected on the ice and snow. I saw myself, stopped in the middle of the street, looking at the sun, directly and I couldn't hide my happyness to see it again. It was something I cannot describe. I felt happy, and I presume that was due to the shiny star toucing my face!

Here was the first time, in my whole life, when I was standing under the sun and I wasn't feeling ANY warmer!

Hadet bra!=)
