Hi there. I have a day off so I continue to write. Long time ago I wrote a poem. This is what I wrote this morning. I am getting closer to the end of my book. Always difficult since I always try to find perfection.

Try to think that perfection is not always right. But I love the feeling when something is completed. That is the best personal reward I ever can get.

To be honest, I have started to think both in Swedish and in English. I write my diary in English to reach as many as possible. My book will be in Swedish, however. Maybe, and most probably, I will write my next book in English.

Stockholm is beautiful today. A day with a lot of sun. Time to refuel your D-vitamine. Good for your bone and skin.

Wishing you a very pleasant day!

Lots of love from Anna

Tonight I made dinner from a recipe I got from sweet friends. Finally, I made dinner. Long time ago. Fresh. Really cross cooking. Couldn´t find petit calamars so you have to use your fantasy. Tasty dinner. I enjoy cooking a lot.

Bonne soirée,

Anna

Today is a very cold day in Stockholm. Snow. No snow bears, however. Yesterday something weird happened to me. I was going for training and suddenly I changed my mind. For a second I thought that I can continue training anyway because it will make me feel good. But I needed time for reflexion. I am currently changing my life and that is difficult.

New focus in life. I feel both happy and a little sad. I have had a lot of focus on my body and that has generated results that I am happy about. But. That also means that my clothes do not fit anymore. Like the lyrics of “Streets of Philadelphia”. I need to find new clothes. Fun but a lot of work. I like clothes a lot. That is a way of expressing yourself. I like watching trends. Personally, my style is not so trendy 🙁

I like France a lot. The way you dress. It is in a way, more allowed to be female compared to Sweden. To wear dresses. To wear skirts and so on.

Dare to be female!

When I was in France I learnt a lot about languages. To taste a word. To have a word and see different pieces of it. To understand that a word may be the same in several languages. At least parts of it. Enclosure is an example of a very interesting word. A lot of history connected to that word. English 1800 century  history, if I remember right. It is also connects church and religion. Things you don´t talk about. Only whisper. Contradictions; like nun and opposite.

Humanism is also a very interesting word.

Nature is beautiful when it comes to how culture has developed. Sometimes I think about how languages have evolved. Languages can make you feel good. At least me. I smile every time I hear French. It is so beautiful.

C’est très jolie.

I like the politeness in France. We need more of that in Sweden. Of course, I have bad days myself, but I always try to be polite. Maybe time is due to un-politeness in todays society. People have a lot of pressure. No time. But should that be an excuse?

I have a lot to do today. Working on my book. I write in Swedish. My native language. I have worked with this book now for several years and it will soon be ready. The biggest challenge has been to find a mode where I can write. To have my own style and language. I try to remind myself that time is precious.

That is my motto today: “time is precious”. Sounds beautiful. Sounds like French.

Wishing you a lovely day,

Anna

I have visited my parents this weekend. Still a lot of snow but not enough for skiing. It is very fresh to stay in the countryside. Healthy. I went for a slow run today. I focus, maybe a little too much, on my body. But, I when I have reach my goal, I hope I can stay in that shape, and not exercise that much as I do now.

Ok. Will reveal that I need to loose visceral fat. The kind of fat you can so to say “hide”. This fat is the most dangerous fat that you can have. Not good for health at all. But once you (in this case that is me) have started to loose weight it is not easy to stop. It is fun to measure. To see that you can change. I still do not know what to do with my sweetie weakness. I can never have a life without chocolate. That is for sure. That is my pleasure.

I focus quite a lot on myself right now. But I think I deserve that. Finally, my mother is stable. Even though she has Alzheimer´s disease, she can live at home with my father. I feel I can let go of them for a while. My brother has a good life after his big accident so I feel a relief .

I can take care of myself for a while. I have been badly mistreated and really met evil. I know, for sure, that evil exists.

Sometimes I feel that this is expected. To take care of my parents and brother. I mean, I am single. Don´t have a family of my own. Then people think that I can take care of my parents and brother since I don´t have a life of my own. But I think I have right to have my own life.

I went for a skin care course a few days ago about REN. Got inspired and bought this. I spoiled myself. Skincare is important to feel good.

Have a nice evening.

Life is getting easier. Soon April. Not so cold. Brighter days. I will just write a few words tonight. Thinking a lot of the beautiful and energizing run yesterday. I just had to stop for a some photos. To catch a few moments. Sweet moments of life.

Went for good exercise this evening. Maybe I am focusing to much on training but I like it a lot. Soon, when the weather allows, it will be nice to go for walks again.

Have a pleasant evening.
