Strength
Tomorrow is 5 months since my husband left and next week we would have celebrated 23 years of marriage. I am not sure how it will go but I expect the days leading up to it may be challenging. I have made progress in some areas and not in others. My self care Wednesday gave…

Self care
Today I feel emotional. I am both grateful and sad at the same time. Grateful because I have all I need. A bank account, money to pay rent, wonderful friends who comment and encourage me. A great life when I see it from the big perspective. I am sad because I miss my husband. This…

2 months in Sweden
Last night I had brilliant ideas for my blog but not today. The good news is my bank account is open and will soon have money in it. Dan has wired money which I should have Monday. The debit card is on it’s way. The downside is I can not access my account because I…

Small things lead to big
Good things have happened this week. So far, I have made a new friend when I went out walking Sunday morning who is American. We live close together so plan to walk together in the future. It was fun talking to her. She has lived here since 2012. On Sunday I taught my first church…

Hyllie
I have settled into my new place and have been out exploring my new neighborhood. Yesterday when I was out I happened to look up and see the lights above me. Perhaps I hadn’t been in that particular place after dark but it is nice. The mall, Emporia, is just across the street from this…

Happy New Year!

In-between days
I saw a commercial on television which called the days between Christmas and New Year mellandagar (in-between days). I had never really thought about it before. The days in-between the old and the new year. The days when we take down Christmas, set some plans or goals for the coming year, and generally prepare for…

God Jul
Christmas or Jul has been very different this year as expected. Surprisingly it was also better than expected but I had pretty low expectations to start so nowhere but up to go. This week I went to my father’s former town of Höör and visited the family graves. Farmor, my father’s Mother, does not have…

Cookies and friends
One of my favorite things to do is people watch. Monday I went to Helsingborg to bake with my friend Bonnie. I came on an earlier train than expected so I waited in the coffee shop, ate my breakfast and watched people as I waited. Always interesting. Bonnie and I went through her cookbooks, made…

West Harbor
It has been a tough week. The holidays getting closer have been bringing up some difficult feelings. I did go out and walk around the city when I went to drop off a package for a friend. It was a beautiful sunny day. I met a man walking his dog and we stopped and talked…
