I'm back!

The summer holidays for the children here in Sweden are over. Last week school started again.
We have had a good summer. We travelled and met friends and family. And as always, time has not succeeded in everything what was planned and everything went too fast.
Just as it is in Life.

My oldest son has begun to study at the University.
A major milestone in his and our lives. All memories of when he was born, so long awaited, and of course he was the most beautiful newborn, upon the earth at that time.
And now he is an adult young man ..

I have often thought of Gratitude challenge.  I did.
I liked it and it made me feel good. Too see all of the things I am blessed with. I will continue with it and 3 times a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday I will do this challenge and write about  5 things I am grateful for in my life just then.

So I am back.
And it feels good. 

See you..

Holiday season

I know, I have not written for a long time and not as often as I would have liked during June. But I am still so grateful that I have made this little grateful estate Challenge. I have really become aware of so much that I can be grateful for in my life. It gave me a little different perspective on things. I would love to return to being grateful and want to have at least one entry in a week with this theme. I think it will do me good.


This week I have my holidays and three weeks ahead. All three children are at home so ... I try to find my own time as much as I can.
Between all the musts in the home, cooking that will never end, and  I do not talk about the quantities of food which  are moved every week from ICA to our pantry and refrigerators.
But it is like it is .
This fall, life will change for our family and I think I will miss it, how it is now. Son 2 will move out for 9 months.
Changes .. I need time to adjust to them. It is just how I am.

But so far it is summer and I have my holiday. And I intend to enjoy it as much as I can.
I will not write often during the summer. But when I can I like to write about what happened in my everyday Life.

Have a nice summer all..
See you,
Angelzuz

A day like this...

What a day it was!
At work, everything happened  at the same time, things were complicated, things were forgotten, and all happened with the speed of 150km / hour.
But it was not an unpleasant day, as a friend of mine says about days like this.
It was a day that requires a lot of me, but in the end, I had the great good feeling that I have done good job.
I have done some things that made life easier and better for some children.

Today I am thankful for:
  1. 1. morning .. a cloudy day, drizzle ..But it was so nice. The colours always look clearer and finer during days like this
  2. I miss my daughter who is at the music camp. Today I made contact with her. They have very poor coverage of the mobile network where she is.
  3. Today I have been able to minimize the pain of a child to a minimum with the help of nitrous oxide and guided imaginary. .. Three painful procedures, but he and I, we swam with dolphins in our fantasy ... Wonderful.
  4. My boys have shopped food for dinner. Following my instructions, but still.
  5. For a child-free time in the evening ..smile..

See you,
Angelzuz

Prioritizing myself

At last Thursday and my working week is over...
This weekend is the Midsummer so we will have guests and celebrate three days, as we  should ..

I've been working a lot lately, and even the weekends were busy with various familly things and I feel tired.
Today, when I came home from work, I was suddenly alone at home. It felt like eternity.  I had a private time for myself.
Entire 45 minutes for myself ... lol. I know ..



Today I am thankful for:

  1. my oldest son started cleaning the kitchen after dinner,without me  needed say one word
  2. my other son went with me and made a big grocery shopping with me, without me needed say to him
  3. then we came home my daughter was vacuumed the apartment by herself without me needing say to her
  4. This evening I have prioritized myself, and ordered myself free time. While my daughter vacuumed, the vacuum cleaner broke down, the Universe has determined ... no vacuuming for me today ..lol
  5. I'm so thankful for three days in front of me .. I need them very much.

See you,

Quality time with job mates

It was a nice day at work. Today we had a Midsummer lunch we arranged ourselves. Everyone who worked this , came with some food for our Midsummer buffet.
Very good food, very nice company, we managed to eat together and toasted with water for the summer.






Today I am thankful for:
  1. My nice workmates. It is also because I work where I work for so many years that I feel comfortable with  people I work with. For me it is 16 years.
  2. I am grateful that we had made this lunch. I saw how everyone thought it was a lovely lunch and everyone enjoyed eating together.
  3. I am grateful for this summer bouquet as my colleague picked in the meadow behind her house. I just love these wild flowers. And the best part was that I got to take home the flowers with me.
  4. Today I am grateful that I was able to change life for the better for those who needed me at work
  5. Once again, I am grateful that I make this challenge. As I wrote before .. it does me good.



See you,

After rain

I love the way the air smells after rain and how everything is wet and green after the rain. Today was just such a day.
In the morning when I went to work, I felt both how the air smells and noticed how the colors are sharper after a whole night of rain. I love it. So already at morogornen I thanked for all the beauty in my Life.

Today I am thankful for:

  1. I live in this beautiful city. Historical city with lots beautiful old buildings located just outside my windows.
  2. the fresh air in the morning which  I enjoyed during my walk to my job
  3. the trees are so beautiful green, clean, washed of all dust after a night of rain. I enjoyed it this morning
  4. after I came home from work, I listened to a nice music that filled me with peace and tranquillity ..
  5. the sun just now shining through the windows of my room .... it gives me the feeling of light and good mood
See you,
Angelzuz.

I'm doing the best I can

When I started writing this  challenge I did not think it would be so difficult to find time to write a few lines during the day.
But it is not always easy.
Work, and the children, and various family needs, and little fatigue and a little .. well you know what I mean.
But it is ok for this is how life is for those most in my situation.
So I have quieted down this little demon inside me that all the time just go on about that today I have not had time write either.

I  decided that I do this for myself and do the best I can and nothing will take away the joy I experience from this challenge.
Because I really like it. It does me good.
To pause for a moment during the day and always try to see the positive in everyday life.
I like it.



So  today I am grateful for:

  1. I am grateful that I can do this challenge. I feel good to do  it  and it gives me a perspective on my life which is easy just  to be overlooked;
  2. I am grateful that the meeting with my friends today was a nice one. We still have fun together after so many years of friendship;
  3. I am grateful that such a simple thing as my strawberry cake made so many happy and satisfied today;
  4. I am grateful for my husband who washed today;
  5. I can not thank enough that  all of us in our  family are healthy just now.

See you,
Angelzuz

Thankful after a bad day

How do you write the thanks challenge on a day like today?
I woke up after a bad night with a headache and didn't even go to work. I just cried ..
Stayed at home all day, took painkillers and tried to rest as best I could.
Outside it was a nice and sunny day.



Ok, so today I am grateful for:
  1. I could stay home and rest. That our existence is not depending on this day income;
  2. The headache went over after a few hours and I could take a nap during the afternoon;
  3. All three children were home, but the day passed without trouble;
  4. I have lost 0.6 kg in weight last 2 weeks;
  5. I'm glad that I feel better. My problem today was of  character which seems tough but nevertheless goes over ..

The day is almost over. I know,  tomorrow will be a better day. Again.

See you,
Angelzuz
