Traditional North-Norwegian summer-meal fresh pollock (saithe)

Delicious traditional North-Norwegian summer-meal fresh pollock (saithe) - It tastes heavenly! Extremely rich in proteins, healthy brown fat and minerals! This particular meal was just a few hours from the fjord to the dinner table! Fresh as it gets ;o)

...and delicately prepared pollock liver - and NO! It's got nothing to do with horrid cod liver oil...!

The fine, thin line of life

Life or Death (Photo: Dimmed - From Flickr, liscense Creative Commons)

Life is so fragile. We are all walking this thin, invisible line from birth through life to death. And the line is invisible, so it’s almost impossible to know when we reach the end.

There are so many things in life blown out of proportions and often times the most important things in life is pushed aside. How much extra does it cost you to tell someone you love them? To give a hug or a kiss?  To lend a helping hand? The answer: it costs no more than a little cellular energy, but it touches another human being and could very well be exactly what he or she needed to get that silver lining on all the dark clouds in the sky.

Show your fellow human beings that you care – the sooner the better!
