Many people misunderstand my strive for happiness as me needing to be happy all the time – H.E.L.L N.O. I am probably the best (meaning highest) combo of all feelings. Sad, angry, happy, etc. etc. Today we (OK I) took a turn to the angry zone. Me and Sam had the worst quarrel since… I…

A little wish
While I was dying of my minor ebola case last Friday night. I heard both the Mr and our oldest feeling for me. I woke up every 30 minutes to rejoin the bathroom. And all Saturday I tried to catch up the lost sleep of the night before and getting my body back to status…
Noooooooooo
Not a good sign. We are getting sloppy. Not regarding the cleaning, we have been sloppy about that for years. Our anniversary! How could we miss it?! More staggeringly, how could I miss it?! Last Wednesday, 21 years and not a card, no anniversary wishes. Probaby a kiss or two and a squeeze on the…
To change or not
“It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change.” ― Charles Darwin I read his quote on a restroom wall in Lisbon, Portugal once and since then it really stuck to me. In my strive for personal happiness I live by it (even if I, at times, am…
This thing called parenting
It is not easy to be a parent. Just as little easy it is to be a kid with parents. During my 11 years of motherhood I have developed and improved my ways. From a totalitarian to more a more coaching approach. And I do find it more intressant, more rewarding yes, better with my “new”…
Every other
Nowadays the Mr’s and my lives are really overlapping. When I am at home, he is away and vice versa. When I fall a sleep on the couch he is awake and vice versa. The evil cause is soccer. And shift work. And starting your own business. I say it is temporarily. It better be….
Fathers and dads
Saturday, a second cousin to my children made a speech to her father turning 50. She’d realized that many her friends were quite angry with their fathers as they had never been part their life. She had the best dad and she celebrated him for being that. I also have the best dad, a man…
Trust
Trust is the ultimate sign of love. I am thankful that I am trusted.
He had me at “hello”
A while back I read Zlatan Ibrahimovic‘s autobiography (written together with author David Lagercrantz) and I enjoyed it. Maybe I didn’t think it was the most well written, but I still enjoyed it. What really captured me, and what made me determined to always respect one of the world’s most talented soccer players, was his…
All these ladies
Yesterday I stayed up till 03.30 am (we are actually talking about this morning). That it self in an accomplishment. Not frequently occurring. Before that I ate (different oriental dishes) , I drank (wine and water), I danced, I laughed, I cried and I celebrated (the victory of my team’s music quiz especially). This I…
Kisses
“U cant kiss too much”. My husband’s words when I was abour to leave this morning. And we kissed. Again.
Men
Today, it is father’s day in Sweden. I do not support commercial happenings. I love my father, mother, children and other dear ones everyday and not because the retailing industry tells me to. But I do not dislike the fact that we should appreciate one another, I just hope we do it more than once…
Happy, HAPPY anniversary
Time? It is a strange phoneme. You can not touch it, but you know it is there through memories, pictures and feelings. Today, one year ago, on top of NYC we said, what we decades before already had decided, to stick through thick and thin and to the ones we are. As individuals, as a…
My boys, my life
It must be impossible to have missed my boys. As any mother (I hope) I am so proud to have these individual around me. And little did I know 10 years back what effect their presence would have on me. This is my latest capture of the the two boy I once fantasized over 20…
Wor(l)d of wisdom
Today I have been granted the pleasure of meeting several words of wisdom. One was delivered from my colleague, who is starting her fast as of tomorrow. She had a really interesting approach to hunger and actually all other feelings our body and mind encounters. But more important how we can meet these feelings. “It…
Equality
I just would like to share a video which came my way the other day. I support everything connected to equality (gender, religion, sexual orienation etc) . And I condem everything that has to do with hate. Hate and ignorance. Love is beautiful, always.
Love too much
Is it possible to love someone too much? So much, that your love for that person makes more problems for the person and for your self?
Hilarious
Already yesterday I wanted to write a post as tribute to my husband. Something I actually think is quite tacky thing to do in social media (just like posting an ridiculous amount of self portraits.. who does that?! … ;). It is something with the quadruple superlatives of one’s partner, that leaves me with the…
Bursting
The love for my children. Its is strange how big, complex, endless, heartwrecking and fantastically fabolous it is. Everybody being a parent knows what I am talking about. Earlier this week it was on the rim of disappearing, today it is a bottomless well. When our boys are good they are better than great. When…
All they need is love
It is so clear that the only thing our children want is our time and ability to be here and now. Yesterday, for the first time in a long (two, maybe three, months) time, I read to my children. It has always, since they were really small, been something we have done at bedtime. That…
Some 20 years ago
The 11 june 1993, 20 yrs ago, we kissed for the first time. Yesterday we and 58 of our friends celebrated the that we tied the knot last fall and that the Mr is turning 40 this coming one. Thanks to all. Thank you so much.
Happiness
Sometimes happiness can be ridiculously simple. Here is one example.
Sign of love
When you Mr brings you his freshly made rhubarb cream, still lightly warm. You know he loves you: For real.
My darlings
The computer tells me it is time to get rid of some stuff from the hard drive, otherwise it will crash… I do not get rid of stuff, I save them somewhere else. This blog is a great place to save things, at least as long as the platform will live. Found these ones from…
An extra kiss
By now u know that I am one of those who thinks that just a little self inflicted pain is good for you. It keeps you on your toes. One way of providing myself a good level of pain, and thereby a decent amount of reality check, is watching documentaries where people, especially kids, is…
Back to the future
Soon 20 years ago I found this guy (with the little help from my friends) that later became the father of my children, and later became my husband. When we met he was already long down in the addicted claws of it. Soccer. He was pretty good. As a young adult he got to try…
All you need is love
Tired, as one only can be after driving in 1.5 hrs through the worst of rains. Just after flying in from Amsterdam after 3 days of meetings. Coming home to the best of worlds. Two children so happy to see me (!) and who continue to show their affection through kisses and cuddles all evening….
Why is it so hard?
Why is it so hard for people (mostly women) to understand and live after the fact that they should only settle for a good man. A man that accepts you for who you are, who’ll go with you for that thick and thin part. If he doesn’t like you they way you are – get…
