🇸🇪 2023 🇺🇸

In a way, 2022 has been a little sad. I lost my dearest sweetie Lady, and I also lost an extended family member in the USA that I have known for almost four decades. Life becomes a bit different when you realize that they are not there any longer. However, the spirit is there. I remember that I have walked my sweetie so many times, also during wintertime when the roads were filled with salt. I always put her on a paw bath after walking and had her standing in water for a while. The paws dried, and then I put some ointment on her paws.

I learned a lot about being American from my late family member. Life is not as in Sweden in the USA. You are more polite in the USA, please correct me if I am wrong. Perhaps due to business being more present in daily life in the USA. I don´t know. I have been sad due to this loss, but also happy of being privileged of learning about the USA.

This makes me look forward to 2023. I am going to dedicate this year to health. I need to become more aware of habits that I might need to change. Slowly, slowly make changes in my daily routines. Today, as always, my greatest challenge is sweets. I cannot live without chocolate. Do you have a good solution for this?

Three years later, I finally feel that my feelings are settled after writing my book. My studies in Uppsala tied everything up. I will start to write again in a few years, and I already have a good theme. Yes, it is time to look forward to 2023. I have thought about what to share as the last song 2022. This is a lovely song from New York with Jay Z and Alicia Keys. Couldn´t think of anything better.

Stay safe 🐾
