Yesterday consisted mostly of exercise and to “make a cosy home”. Today is totally dedicated to writing.

I thought a lot about my childhood yesterday. I was very lucky to grow up in the countryside. With my parents, brother and hunting dogs. What concerns me today is that it is difficult to have a life in the countryside in Sweden. Schools, grocery shops etc disappear. Sweden is becoming more urbanized. That is a pity since the countryside is beautiful. Interesting to follow politics if there will be changes.

There were so many things you did as a child. For instance, I have a huge collection of “bokmärken”. You bought these pretty marks (do you know what that is in Norwegian?) and then you traded them between friends. So cute.

I had a book where I kept all my friends. This book was called “Mina vänner”. I interviewed friends and vice versa, and these books are saved at my parents house.

I´ll see if I can find it and I will make an interview with myself.

Wishing you a pleasant and relaxing Sunday!

Je vous embrasse,

Anna

PS I spend a lot of time thinking of what my life would have been if I had found the right man. I have wasted many years.

Rather early, calm morning in Stockholm. Preparing for exercise. Loosing some weight, but it takes time. However, I believe that it is better that it takes time because then it will be easier to stay at that point.

I have two days off. I like my job but it is also good to have time off. A positive effect with training is that you gain extra energy. You might have noticed that I like to spend time att home. But, to be honest, my life is a little tedious right now. Diet, work, writing. I miss cooking. Since I am on a diet I read recipes instead. Sometimes I cook, but it is a little boring to make food just for yourself. So, instead, I sympathize with people having no food.

Today, I will continue to write on my book. I feel more comfortable in writing now because my book is getting a shape. I have read about, what I would call, a mind flow. I hope today will be one of those days. I have started to search for a company where I can publish. It will be a beautiful love story with ups and downs. Just as in life. Also tragedy. Unfortunately. But there are somethings in life that are unavoidable. Like the destiny of biology. Don´t you agree?

Lots of love from Anna

Några rader på svenska ikväll. Ganska sömnig. Men det är ganska mysigt att bara  “softa”. Ser fram emot imorgon med spinning. Musik och träning. Kan inte bli bättre. Min dagsform vid träning kan variera från gång till gång, därför är spinning väldigt bra där man lätt varierar efter dagens styrka. Jeg var ju veldig mye på träning på Elexia i Norge. Det är fascinerande att man bygger ett muskelminne. Har man en gång lärt sig grunden så finns den kvar även fast det kan gå en stund mellan träningarna. Saknar “spinning teamet”. Minns att vi tränade till “fångad av en stormvind”

Jag håller ju på och skriver på min bok. Det är avkoppling. Låter kanske märkligt. Men så är det. Det tar ganska mycket tid, men jag hoppas att det blir mer kvalitet än kvantitet för att använda en gammal klyscha.

Sleep tight and don´t let the bedbugs bite,

I should write in Swedish, but I have to remind myself of why I started to write. To keep in contact with friends. I have met many people during years so this is a nice way to stay in contact. Right now I live alone since several years ago. I work quite a lot. I have always liked to work. Don´t know why. To create. My main focus right now is my book. I write about life. I make up stories. I miss somebody to love. Life experience has learnt me to be careful.

I had a good day at work. Now, back home. Have read the news and a lot concerns what is happening in Swedish politics right now. A new government has been elected and a smooth turn over is going on. Even thought there are different opinions about things, it is good that the politicians are professional. That is responsibility.

I don´t know why I read the news. Maybe, because I need to focus on something else than myself. I went to “energy exercise” yesterday. A lot of music from the 90´s. Leila K for example. Fun. So I have pain today.

I have a few hours before sleep. I have lit some candles and I hope I can write a few pages. Right now I write about how a couple meet. Love. Difficult to describe love. Maybe because I really don´t know what it is?

Je vous embrasse,

Anna

Early morning and beautiful weather in Stockholm. I am soon off for work. Last night I did some work out. I am on a diet. But since I am exercising I cannot be completely on diet. That could be dangerous for the body. Maybe I am too disciplined right now (not so fun), but I need that to finally finish my novel and also to get into shape. You earn so much personally if you keep your body and mind in good health. I have always exercised more or less in period. It is important to emphasize that you lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of developing diabetes etcetera. And maybe the most important –  you keep your brain active.

I like sports a lot. Last weekend I went swimming. That was fun. I longed so much for the feeling of making a dive. Ultimate feeling of freedom. I have had many friends throughout life. Close friends. Time passes. You get a new direction in life. Deviating a little from previously. Meet new friends. I am very happy to have so many friends. Even though we don´t spend so much time together, you are still my friends. I am a little curious about what new friends I will meet in the future.

Je vous souhaite une bonne journée!

Des bisous,

Anna
