7 Be the best...?

Today I have lived through my television, and felt how it is to be a part of a nation.
Us Norwegians are a weird people to everybody else, except our selfs. In our country it is normal to spend a weekend in the mountain just to see a cross country ski race. Everybody have cow bells to make a lot of noise. And we are so confident that we will  sing "we are the winners" before the race.
That is because the 35 times the ski WC has been arranged we have been best nation 22 times.


We are not a nation who likes to lose, especially in winter sports. We are very proud in that way.
After all we were born with skies on our feet.
And even though I am sick, today I was skiing with Northug, and it felt like I was flying up the hills in my couch together with Gjerdalen.
He haven't been on the podium for over 2 years, and today he showed that if you fight enough you can get you're dream back. So maybe I will get mine in a few years time, if I fight and don't give up!
Besides dreams come through if you climb a few mountains! At least if you try, and don't give up, you have a chance! And isn't that all we want? A chance to be the best we can be? Best skier, health, mother, daughter, sister,friend, and  best wife/husband?
