I am so excited to join the steemian community! \nI don\u2019t know whether it\u2019s because I\u2019m an \u201coldie\u201d \u2013 yes,<br> I was born I the mid 70\u2019s \u2013 but it took me a while to catch on. Can you believe I only got introduced to Steemit less than a week ago?! Currently feeling a little stupid that news of this revolution hasn\u2019t made it to my little nook of the world,<br> but there you have it. Perhaps it\u2019s because I reside in the frozen north,<br> where life is slow and news travel even slower?\n\nhttps:\/\/s20.postimg.org\/oqztor2ml\/ski.jpg\n\nAnyway,<br> I am Michele and I am from Norway. I grew up on the west coast of Norway,<br> but now I live in Sandefjord,<br> a quaint little town on the eastern shores. \n\nhttps:\/\/s20.postimg.org\/4wds2p0al\/intro.jpg\n\n2017,<br> as it turns out,<br> was a year for trying new things on my behalf. It didn\u2019t stem so much from a desire to re-invent myself,<br> but rather I found myself at a point in need of combating the drudgery of everyday life.\nSo I took up,<br> and instantly got totally hooked,<br> on the classical trade of upholstery. In my new-found hobby I continuously find relief in a variety of ways: I can feed my artistic inner child with vibrant colours and inventive combinations. I can use my hands to undertake physical work quite unlike my computer-based professional life. And I can,<br> after hours of laboring over an object,<br> stand back and say the magical words: \u201cI. Made. This\u201d! There\u2019s not much that beats that feeling!\n\nhttps:\/\/s20.postimg.org\/x0gagu8v1\/stol.jpg\n\nFor my second attempt at new things in 2017,<br> I found myself at the local tennis courts. Yes,<br> you heard me right \u2013 pushing mid-forties and a newbie at tennis! Yet again I find myself hooked,<br> and my spare time is a constant squabble between whether to upholster an armchair or battle it out on the tennis courts. \n\nWe Norwegians pride ourselves on the beauty of our countryside,<br> and going for a walk,<br> just for the sake of walking is a huge thing. We even have a saying: \u201cut p\u00e5 tur,<br> aldri sur\u201d. It basically means that going for a walk will put you in a good mood. That even if you are in a foul mood,<br> going for a walk will somehow magically make it great again.\n\nSo if you decide to follow my blog posts you can expect to see posts from both seaside and mountain walks \u2013 both summer and winter time,<br> pictures of our grand Norwegian countryside,<br> details on upholstery projects,<br> the odd frustrated spiels on learning a new sport at a mature age,<br> and hopefully many many more subjects as life just happens here in the frozen north.\n\nLet the good times roll,<br> and steem on!\n\n-Michele\n\nhttps:\/\/s20.postimg.org\/pta07cqlp\/frozennorth.jpg",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"introduceyourself\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/s20.postimg.org\/oqztor2ml\/ski.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/s20.postimg.org\/4wds2p0al\/intro.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/s20.postimg.org\/x0gagu8v1\/stol.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/s20.postimg.org\/pta07cqlp\/frozennorth.jpg\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
