SvenskaToday is a very cold day in Stockholm. Snow. No snow bears, however. Yesterday something weird happened to me. I was going for training and suddenly I changed my mind. For a second I thought that I can continue training anyway because it will make me feel good. But I needed time for reflexion. I am currently changing my life and that is difficult.
New focus in life. I feel both happy and a little sad. I have had a lot of focus on my body and that has generated results that I am happy about. But. That also means that my clothes do not fit anymore. Like the lyrics of “Streets of Philadelphia”. I need to find new clothes. Fun but a lot of work. I like clothes a lot. That is a way of expressing yourself. I like watching trends. Personally, my style is not so trendy 
I like France a lot. The way you dress. It is in a way, more allowed to be female compared to Sweden. To wear dresses. To wear skirts and so on.
Dare to be female!
When I was in France I learnt a lot about languages. To taste a word. To have a word and see different pieces of it. To understand that a word may be the same in several languages. At least parts of it. Enclosure is an example of a very interesting word. A lot of history connected to that word. English 1800 century history, if I remember right. It is also connects church and religion. Things you don´t talk about. Only whisper. Contradictions; like nun and opposite.
Humanism is also a very interesting word.
Nature is beautiful when it comes to how culture has developed. Sometimes I think about how languages have evolved. Languages can make you feel good. At least me. I smile every time I hear French. It is so beautiful.
C’est très jolie.
I like the politeness in France. We need more of that in Sweden. Of course, I have bad days myself, but I always try to be polite. Maybe time is due to un-politeness in todays society. People have a lot of pressure. No time. But should that be an excuse?
I have a lot to do today. Working on my book. I write in Swedish. My native language. I have worked with this book now for several years and it will soon be ready. The biggest challenge has been to find a mode where I can write. To have my own style and language. I try to remind myself that time is precious.
That is my motto today: “time is precious”. Sounds beautiful. Sounds like French.
Wishing you a lovely day,
Anna
