As I may have said earlier in my blog life I’m from Northern Scandinavia, in particular Northern Norwegian. But I am also 1/4th Southern Scandinavian, mostly ancestry from Agder county and Rogaland county in Norway. Why am I telling you this now? Well, my reactions to very extremely good news depend on my environment and family; who I’m relating to and how I feel inside at that moment.
If I relate in Southern way I’m going to be calm and coherent and thank God in Heaven for the good news. Then I will tell my family with gentle and humble way that how we are so fortunate today. But Southern persons are not always this way, I know from my mother she gets furious eventually if you go too far.
In the Northern way I just show all my joy on outside, share with close people very soon after hearing the wonderful news. But I have some caution as well, we are not generally of the naive kind. But I still speak from my core being as my default position. There is significant prejudice also toward ethnic Norwegian people of the North, we are diverse in origins and culture. I’m of strong Kven and Finnish roots and our culture is very special, I have spoken before about our visit to Børselv in Finnmark.
Btw I just cannot stop writing and rambling now, so I say thank you so much for reading and have a wonderful evening ❤
