I have had a good and inspiring day. Since I am looking for inspiration I am happy that I got new energy today. Most probably, I am exhausted after writing. It was like a big exam for me. But I am not tired of writing so I will continue. I just need imagination and new ideas. I am thinking of writing a novel. A short story. I will also continue with more poems and also to write a new book. I liked the characters so much so I will continue to follow their lives. They asked so many questions so maybe I should try to answer them in the next book.
In a way, it feels funny to make up their lives. Maybe adventure. Travelling. I don´t know. Since I am waiting for right inspiration to write I try to find photos. Moments in life with some kind of feeling. The creative spirit will always be there.
When I walked this afternoon I suddenly turned my head and saw this sport place. The shadow was so attractive in a way. Thought about auntie yesterday, so maybe that is why I saw this American sport area. I like the reflection of the shadow.
Bon weekend,

Hi there. Yes, I definitely need to take it easy a few days before more exercise. I have my focus on fresh fruit and vegetables instead. Food can really ruin training. But I cannot help that I am addicted to candy. Difficult to reduce. So, I must admit that I had a re-lapse today. Chocolate. Just a little. But tonight fruit. So I am doing good.
Tonight I will just relax and watch tv. Still feel a bit empty after writing, but I have started to think on my next book. I am addicted to writing as well. But, here, it is good with re-lapse
Have a nice Friday evening!

Thursday evening and I am exhausted. I have been training a lot so now I am going to recover for a few days. Tonight my goal was only to have the pulse going. And I am trying to change candy for fruit. I´ll see for how long I will go for this. Difficult to see me living without candy.
As you might have noticed I like to catch moments in life. Every day I have my special travel. So I caught this photo above. Calm and action in combination.
Sweet dreams,
Anna
Stockholm is in a way beautiful today even though the weather is so so. I suppose I have got used to the thought of this dark period ahead. But December gives hope. I like the candles and I have already started to think of decoration.
I am very keen on keeping my body in good shape. As you know I have run a lot this autumn and I did that for a change from ordinary training. Now, unfortunately, it is too dark to run. So I am back to traditional work out. Of course I have noticed a difference that I use other muscles when I run and other muscles when work out. Yesterday I kept my pulse high during more than two hours. Today I am focusing more on strength since I need more muscles.
My biggest challenge is to reduce candy. My treat in life. I am going to try to have fruit instead of candy. Small steps make big change. Exchanging a reward with another reward that is healthier.
Yes, as you understand I am focusing a lot on well being. Being in good shape means having a body and mind in harmony.
Have a nice evening!

Today I have a day off. Finding balance in life is important. I have been very lazy this morning; having breakfast, watching tv and some reading. It is very important to rest and to let the body recover. This is actually something that I had to learn. I like to do so many things and if I don´t have any activities ongoing I sometimes feel some restlessness.
However, today´s society is very much built on production and to achieve. The human part is quite often forgotten. My main project today is to find a beautiful flower to put on my table. Will also go for work out tonight. That makes me feel good.
I have had some problems with hackers on my computer. I don´t like that. Apple computers should be the safest I´ve heard.
Beginning of November in Stockholm means preparing for shopping in December. I like December a lot. It gives me a lot of inspiration and positive energy. Wonder if there will be snow this year? Would be nice to go skiing.
Have a nice day!

Hi! A new week with new possibilities. I am trying to write every day, but to be honest, some days I don´t have much to say. I miss catching moments in life by photos. Sweet moments in life. When I take photos there must be a feeling and that is difficult to catch. See if I find something today.
Yesterday I talked with auntie (my extra mother) and she told me that the terrible thing that happened in Trollhättan has been big news in the US. I told her that the police shut the man who killed the students. That is very unusual in Sweden. Sweden is becoming like the US where the gunmans are shut. Yes, you have to be careful in today´s society. Important to know how to protect yourself. But I really hope that the police will be more visible in society that will definitely decrease violence. Just by being there. Being visible to people.
It is amazing how weather can give impact. I woke up and the sky is blue. That gave inspiration to write. So, I really hope you will have a great Monday and beginning of the week.
Went to good work out yesterday. Muscle pain is decreasing. I have been running a lot but various exercise gives the best result. Change.

Wrote about Jantelagen yesterday. Something nobody want to talk about but everybody know what it is. I wonder why it is that way? Feel I cannot answer that question right now, but it would be interesting to know if it exists in other countries than Sweden.
Today is my focus on health. Taking care of my self day. Face treatment and exercise. Yes, that is on my agenda today.
Have a fun Sunday!
