Happy beginning of 2016

Or “God fortsättning”. Couldn´t find the right expression in English. I have been very lazy for a few days. Just my favorite hobby. Long walks with my sweeties. I really don´t know why I like it. Fresh air. Clear your mind. Maybe catch a glimpse of a deer, fox or an elk. They are talking about beer where my parents live but I don´t believe the news. I have never heard of a bear so south of Sweden.

The weather has been cold, some snow and windy. Tippa and Lady like walks regardless of weather. At least Lady. Tippa is rather old so she prefers to stay at home. They are so sweet. So as you can see, not so much sun these days.

2016. A new year. I have been thinking of this year. One of my main focuses is to continue with sports. During these days I have had some extra goodies, so I have to be careful. Moreover, I feel a bit sad that education is nothing to be proud of in Sweden. But, I will use what I have learnt to continue to write. To protect internet freedom.

Sweden, to be honest, is a rather isolated country. There are so much happening around the world that I try to follow. A lot of people fighting for normal, basic life conditions. A lot of people trying to figure out what happiness is. I try to smile. I try to be happy within myself. To smile inside. And if my inside smiles, my outside smiles!

I help my parents with little things, so I made some cinnamon rolls for them. Tasty. A new year has begun.

Instagram

I must admit, I have been very reluctant about using internet with regard to social media. However, this is the way the world works today. I have realized that I have to follow. To not be isolated. Maybe it depends on personality, but I prefer to meet people face to face. I am, maybe, a bit old fashioned.

But I must admit that I am amazed about all internet interactions. All new happenings and everything you can do with a computer. So, recently I learnt that Instagram is bigger than Facebook, so tonight I signed up for an account. And as you have seen I like photos a lot. The old expression “a picture tells more than a thousand words” might be true. So, Instagram now! But be patient, I need some time to learn 😉

Yesterday I had my birthday. I was very happy because the weather was so beautiful and I had a very nice walk. A lot of tourists in Stockholm. Italian, French, Russian, English…many languages. So, in a way, nice to travel just by having a walk.

Soon the end of the year and I am thinking of how future year will be. I am very interested in sports so that will definitely be one of my focuses this year. More live sports. I liked the hockey game I went to. Sports is better live.

I will continue to write. Writing, next to sport, is one of my main interests in life. So, all for tonight. I will try to learn more about Instagram!

Take care,

Anna

 

Romjula

That is what these “middle days” are called in Norway. Will just write a little something. Good to have a few days off for recovery. Lucky me. Weather is good so I have been off for walks every day. I have my track about 8-9 kilometers, I think.

Now is the time for reflection. Reflection before New Years Eve. How has your year been? Are you happy? Will you keep any promises for next year? Personally, I have worked a lot this year. I have been writing a lot and I am very happy about that even though it has been many hours of work. So, holiday is very good. You deserve holiday! Read in the news today about “tryckfrihet” in Sweden. From what I understand, it has been a dark year.

I met these beautiful horses today. Or, to be honest, I have met them a lot of times. They are so cool. I though of the song “När juldagsmorgon glimmar, jag vill till…” when I saw them. Sweet horses (islandshästar), with their “tölt”.

A fun day

Today has been a fun day. I like these kind of days. Sometimes you can begin a day rather tired, not in the mood etc. But today has been a day filled with energy. I think I get this extra energy from work out. I really want to talk about the importance of sports. There are so many physiological benefits from exercise. Blood pressure, cholesterol levels, glucose levels and so on. And feel good hormones like endorphins.

I have been very reluctant of writing various things. But I think it is important to write about days that are not that good as it is to write about days that are good. Good days and bad days. Because there are all various kinds of days. Or what do you think?

Holidays are ahead and I will soon meet family again. As you know, I am grown up in the countryside. When I was little it was a big event to go to Stockholm. I remember when I was 4 or 5 years old we went to Stockholm during a weekend. We stayed at a hotel at Strandvägen, Hotel Diplomat and we went for Circus Scott. It was very exciting to stay at a hotel and it was very exciting to go and see a show. You know that I love animals so I was very happy. I remember the clowns and the elephants. And not to be forgotten: “sockervadd”. I also remember I was a little afraid of the elephants because they were so close. It was very different to watch them on TV compared to reality. The elephants were huge!

By sharing this little memory I wish you happy holidays.

Intellectual property

I have spent many, many hours studying in my life. For nothing. No laws in Sweden are working. I feel very disappointed. I feel very sad because of the loss of my intellectual property rights. If I had been a man, it would have been much simpler.

I just had to write this. It also feels like I can never get away from my previous relationships. That is why I am very careful, and also that is why I am single. I will stay single, maybe my whole life because I have been injured. So, if I find a kind man one day, I will marry. I hope and I wish. I would like to find happiness. True happiness.

I have just learnt how to be happy. My so called “outside” is happy, but wounds in my soul are still there. I write this because I believe a lot of people can recognize the same situation.

I was very happy to try a new sport the other night. Barre. I liked it a lot; but I could have had two hours. Good stretch!

Tonight I thought of Nepal so I had Tapas. Laparoskopi 😉 . People in Nepal are sherpas, so are Lappish people also called in Sweden.

Barre

I have been lazy writing since I have been focusing a lot on sports lately. Just because I would like to reach next level. Become a little stronger. Various exercise. Stretch. Mindfulness.

Since it is December and dark you just have to do something to have your mind focused. To not think of the bad weather. To wait for snow that will brighten life.

Sports make me think of sweets so it is a delicate balance. But life without treats would´t be worth much. So, lots of work out for me lately. Fun! I really enjoy. What would my life be without sport?
