Review of 2018

This year has been devoted to finalising my books. I must admit that I have worked a lot this year. It is not so good to work so much, but when you really want to realise something a big effort is often needed. And the feeling afterwards is very rewarding. To pay attention to details that maybe nobody notice, and to know that nothing has been left for destiny to decide. It is said that “practice makes perfect”, so I am really sure that my next book will be much easier to write.

During these years two colleagues of mine have read the book “Generationer” and I am very grateful for that. They have shared this journey with me. I have paid a lot of attention to the characters in the book, and they are very popular. Especially Fredrik’s relation to his daughter Greten. One of my colleagues associated to the books “Tuesdays with Morrie” written by the American author Mitch Albom, and in addition, the book “Veronika decides to die” written by the Brazilian lyricist and novelist Paulo Coelho. There are a lot of questions in the book for the reader to answer, so I hope I will get response.

My father concluded after reading the book that life is fragile, and he liked that one of the dogs was called Morris. Furthermore, since I have friends who don’t know Swedish I write here in English. However, my books are written in Swedish. Hopefully a translation to English will be possible in the future.

The other book, “Tid för frihet”, is dedicated to poetry and photography. It is a feel good book. Sometimes I need to find a minut of peace and quiet and then I read a poem and have a look at the pictures. They are mainly from my voyage to Vietnam and Sri Lanka where some of my friends live.

2019 is approaching very rapidly and I wish everybody a Happy, Prosperous New Year. With regard to leisure – writing, photography and sport will continue to be my hobbies. What will your main focus be if you would choose one word to describe your 2019?

Mine is health.

Workout 2018

Regular exercise is with no doubt good for health. And, as you know, training is a great part of my life. More or less in periods. This year 2018, is soon turning to 2019, and I think of my training year which has been rather satisfying. Often, I go to a training center, but sometimes I need change. I remember that I was lucky in the beginning of this year, I could go skiing with my little sweetie, and she was very happy because she likes snow. Furthermore, this summer I changed to running. But, suddenly I had this injury. Inflammation in my hip that needed several weeks to heal. I changed to core training and yoga.

Now I am very happy since I am back on track. No injuries. My writing has taken a lot of time, and now I can focus on training again. I need exercise, at least 4-6 hours every week. My main goal is to feel good and that my clothes feel comfortable. To do more healthy changes is to keep an eye on eating right. Vitamins, proteins, magnesium, iron etc. I have to think of a New Year resolution. My training goal for 2019. What is your New Year promise for 2019?

Friday – TGIF

December is by some reason a rather intense month. Personally, it is a month to think of the year that has passed. A year, 365 days, disappears within a second. Time is precious, and also very philosophic and beautiful since it is very difficult to explain. This year, I finally printed my books, and it has been a lot of work, but in return, I have learnt a lot, and a whole new world has opened. I feel satisfied with both books, and they belong together.

I must admit that I feel very eager to continue to write. I will start again after New Year. 2019. This time, I will also write two books, and I have thought of the content. Two themes. Meanwhile, I am happy that I can write here. Sometimes change is needed, and the change of this website is well done thanks to good support. Wishing you a happy “4:e advent”. The final candle to be lighted.

Winter time

Today I have a day off, and it will be a tranquil day. Those days are needed sometimes. Yesterday winter arrived and that made me very happy. But I had to watch my steps since I had bad shoes. The snowy weather was a surprise for me and I wasn’t prepared for a day with snow. Right now, at this time of the year, the air is rather dry, and in addition, the minus degrees makes it worse. This means that it is important to have water, something I forget, and can lead to headache. I have to remind myself, and to make it a little easier I put some lemon with C-vitamins in my glass of water. That will also protect me from having a cold. Moreover, water it is good for skin care that get very sensitive at this time of the year. I use a moisturising mudpack at least once a week. My mini spa at home.

Right now I cannot do any jumps or similar when I go for exercise. I have to do something different, so today I will go for some indoor spinning. That was a long time ago, I have been running instead. Sometimes I just need change. This day will be devoted to recharging my batteries. A snowy, winter day filled with inspiration.
