Rally Jordan. He alwsys keep track on how the do- Petter and Henning Solberg !

www.vikingpowerlene.blogg.no

Love Lene Alexandra

Today I started to think........I started to reflect over everyday things that I take for granted normally.....
Yeah -I started to think....
All day I have been asking Svend Alexander to help me lift everything weighing over 50 grams....lift and move
everything for me-since my right hand has got an irritation / infection. I'm totally out of function !!!
Everyday  things gets so hard to do !!! And I'm NOT used to be "handicapped" at all !
But than I started to think about my situation and how small that is when all comes to all !!!
Everyting is always rated against something.....meaning-if you are  really strong-you are just  as strong
as the person you are rated against and that results, you are only as sick as a person that is totally healthy
or a person that is "facing the death ". You are only as kind compared to a guy that is nicer etc etc.
You see where I want with this ????
I think we all-and especially me from time to times, - have to start to focus on what we have,
instead of what we don't have !!!
Have to be more aware of what I am - instead of too much focusing on what, or how I should be like etc.etc.
When I say this, I don't mean that you should stop dreaming - but I mean when it's in a negative way !!!
There is a difference there-but often it's hard to see the difference clearly !!!
Svend is now "sick" compared to when he stood ontop of the podium in 2001-crowned as the new regian
World Strongest Man of this planet !!!!
But he's not sick compared to the poor children in Africa that has NO bright future,
or kidny transplant to look forward too what so ever !!!!!
I had a "big" probleme toady-but not worth mention regarding to a car accident today that so many had to face globally !!!
I guess I just wanted to remind myself that , all in all we are very blessed and lucky with the "situation" we are in end of the day !!!
Like I say-I started to think today.........and I wanted to shard that with you all - use it in a positive way !!!!

Love Lene Alexandra - that is quite happy after all  !!!!!   :) :) :)

Not everybody in the family likes to dress up for photo shoot early in the morning.....

Finally I got some time and stayed in Gol at Eidsgaard Hotel.
It's my good friend Anders Eidsgaard & Family that owns the hotel.

Many people ask me about my very white teeth....
Yes- I have veneers-made by Helsfyr Tannklinikk, Gunvor Landsem
og Art in Dent, Stein Aanerud. De beste i Norge og mulig utover landegrenser
også vil jeg påstå !!!!
Vil du ha rettet på tennene dine, er de farget av kaffe,vin, brus etc etc. Ring Helsfyr for en
uforpliktende prat. Spør etter Gunvor eller Ingvild.
I fasettter kan det ikke bli hull. De tar heller ikke misfarge mer !!!!!
Det er vondt-ja-og det tar tid-ja. Men for meg har det virkelig vært verdt det !!!!
Men nå er jo ikke jeg helt normal......
Ville bare informere dere som lurer.......
Bare spør meg om du lurer på noe angående dette !!!

I dag har jeg endelig fått lagt nye negler hos Roger !!!
