On the way again and a Cup of Tea

At the train to Motala 

Jag Vi Världen 

Silence

It's bit cold to sitt outside, but in our garden house it's perfect! 

First time this year!

The little meets the big

A little hand meets a big hand

A hand reach out to you and you take it! The hand is warm and it gives you energi. 

 There is someone who wants to help you or only are curious who you are. 

Take the hand and welcome the kindness of it.

Icecream, yes please!

I am back on Koh Lanta, Thailand again. It´s so easy to be mindful here. Only after 24 hours I walk more slower, I notice more things, I raise my head and smile.
After my sons school I suggested icecream and we were 6 youngsters and 2 adults who immedately said yes. No one who had to go home for some football training or dance lessons and so on. We just are here and do what we want right away.

Ica criiim, kap kun ka

At last FRIDAY!!!

This week I haven´t been waiting for Friday. It has happens so much nice things so when Friday came I said: O, it´s already Friday.
This week I have been downtown having a chat with my brother and sister-in-law at a bar, I have been at IKEA with my daughters and sister-in-law having a nice cup-of-tea and strolling around the shop, without bying something. Sorry... I bought candles. 


But why am I always waiting for Friday? It´s last day of work that week, the weekend is coming up, I am off and I can spend time with my family.
OK, let´s see... It´s 52 weeks a year, I have 5 weeks holiday, 5 times 7 days is 35 days.  47 weeks of working. I work 5 days a week. So, that will be 47 times 5 which is 235 days and 47 times 2 days off (Saturday and Sunday) is 94 days. The result is 94 + 35 = 129 days off.  Ok, there are public holidays to, that I not calculating. But it´s gives me un idea what I am doing and what I have to do.
I have to do nice thing during the weeks, like meeting my friends, do some nice things with my family, do things that I do at weekends. Why not sit down and read a book?
I do not want to be waiting for 129 days and not enjoying the rest of the 235 days of the year.

Please tell me how you are doing? What are you doing after work?

Enjoy the weekdays

Ps. According to Wikipedia we are having 224-229 days of work each year,

Time flies away

It is so easy to let the time fly away.
I do not know why I let it happen. I try to think about it . Like today I was waiting in the car for my daughter to come with the train. I started to think about my breathing, how the air went in to my nose and down to my lungs and out the same way. Slowly... While doing this, suddenly I opened my eyes. "O, I have forgotten to answer the message I got this afternoon"
Why???

Right Now

I breath, I feel, I hear, I see

I am alive

Listen to the birds,

Feel the fragrance from the flowers

Feel the sun warming your body

Give your attention to something new today

 Something you never have seen before.
