My Mother is sitting on the train in this minute.
It must have been like twenty years
since last time she was on a train.

We will have three good days here in Stockholm
visiting beautiful sights and museums.
(Museum of Modern Art and the Thielska gallery)
Visiting Noaks kindergarden
and seeing Noaks room
for the first time.

Time flies. It´s been one year and a half
since she was here last time.
We go to visit them instead
beacause it is easier for them...

I am excited. And guess who else is -
yes, that´s right NOAK is!

I have a plan

I will work to make sure that
my portrait painting company
becomes REALLY established
so that I won´t lack customers.
When it is so,
I will be free to live anywhere
in the country
with my family
(since my work is at home).

WHO...

...has the energy, the wallet and the skill...

...to take care of this magical house from 1763 ...

in a 2,45 acre garden close to the sea on Gotland?
Information here!


No... I wouldn´t
choose buying this house,
although I know that
in the right hands
it will be transformed into a PARADIZE!

I looked some more
for houses and fell in love
with this house.

Rest and work
Work and rest


Today life is beautiful!

Once I was alone (7.30) I sat down in my chair
getting myself together.
Exchanging a few words with God.
Desided on a thing that should be
my task for the day.

Then I walked around and around our apartment.
Seven times.
Picking up things,
putting them in their places.
Always walking forward.
Never backwards.

It gave me energy
and became almoust like a nice walk.
And I like walks,
because when I walk I can think.
And believe me or not - but I
enjoy thinking!

I proceeded with my tasks.
I finished them.
As I focused on my work
I had a paper+pen in handy
where I wrote down
other to-do-things that poped up in my head.

I did a few of them too - easy as a dance.

Now I am sitting in the sun on the balcony
being content and happy.

This picture is for YOU Mansuetude! I appreaciate your encouragement very much.

We waved farewell at our summerparadize in Ljugarn on Gotland yesterday at 5.30p.m. Twelve hours later (with bus, ferry, bus and subway via Visby - Nynäshamn - Stockholm) we finally layed our heads down on our own pillows here in Tensta.

Needless to say Noak loved it there. (Can feel like torture raising your kids in the city) He is sleaping now. Hans is composing music at the piano...









IF YOU CLICK ON THE PICTURE
YOU´LL SEE PICTURES
FROM WHEN
WE WERE AT GOTLAND
SIX YEARS AGO





I was right - we had a beautiful time on Gotland!

THESE ARE A FEW OF THE THINGS I LIKE
-footmassage
-looking for beautiful rocks/shells on the beach
-solitude
-a good conversation
-surprizes
-being absorbed by a book that teaches me what I need to learn in that moment...
