Wedding: Crown Princess Victoria & Prince Daniel - Love song by Agnes an...

Princess Victorias Bröllop

That's more like it

Summer Love and Victorias' Brollop

It's that time off the year again.

The only time when the well reserved Scandinavians offer a smile and a honest hello without having to force it out of them: The flowers are blooming, birds are chirping and the sun is warming us in it's full blown glory.
The mood is extra special today for this is the day Prince Daniel Westling man of the people, makes a honest woman of our Beloved Crown princess Victoria of Sweden.
What could be better?
I can't stop smiling.  My mornings are splendid, before i get out of bed i pause, listen to the birds and then watch the warmth stream in through the blinds.  Yes I can see the warmth coz it's yellow and orange and has shades of brown. Texture, shapes sounds and smells back at last!
And all the while stretching like a cat ready for it's catch.
I wake up ready to catch the day, embrace it submit and surrender fully to it's summery requests.

Carpe Diem Y'all

Love ya! Unconditionally

If I were a Bee

If I were a bee, even just for a day

Here's where i'd be. please don't shoosh me away..

What if?

What if the volcano never erupted and the ashes never filled the air
what is summer come before spring
what if the sun shone  and the spring was a total bliss
what if april was predictable and we all dressed according to it's wishes
what if we were all prophets and could all see the future!
What if i whispered ...........have a lovely weekend

I'm back! and so is spring

South Africa here I come

The spring is here, or so it may seem at times.
The birds are singing and memories of Bambi flood my mind.
Unfortunately the weather is as unpredictable as ever, needless to say we remain hopefull.
As is the norm in Sweden. "Det kommer ordnar sig."
Like the nomad I am or the globe-trotter I claim to be, I am off to seek greener pastures.
And where could be better than my destination?  Yapp! the grass is greener on the other side so adios my friends Have a great easter.


Happy Easter all!

Sunday smiles

Hi everyone,
I cannot stop smiling today, I have days planned to be spent in pure bliss.
I cannot stop smiling today after having read such a nice message from Steve Pohlit
and thus I send you all unconditional love hugs.
Pass it on.

Happy Tuesday,

Happy Tuesday all,
Finally a hint of spring!
Birds chattering by dawn
Feeble sunlight streaming through my blinds,
and snow drops are bursting forth.
Two, to be precise but my little "garden"
is still in winter frost.
The dark days are behind us, I don't mind the frost one bit.

thou art wise; 
In imagining that thou
hast attained it -
Thou art a fool.

Wordless Wednesday

As I was driving the girls to school this morning, it suddenly occured to me that I couldn't see a thing.
It had gone from roaring winds and heavy snow storms to a perfectly blinding sunshine.
As blinding as it was I enjoyed every second and just soaked in the warm rays.  Life is GOOD!

Have a good one Y'all.
Cheers

Förlåt dig själv/Forgive yourself

För allt du hatar hos dig själv - förlåt dig själv.
För allt du älskar hos dig själv - förlåt dig själv.
För allt du skäms över.
För allt du är stolt över.
För allt du dölja.
För allt du vill visa upp.
För allt som inte blev som det skulle.
För allt du är.
För allt du vill vara.

Förlåt dig själv     -    Jonas Gardell  (En Komikers Uppväxt)

For all the things you hate within you - forgive yourself.
For all that you love about you - forgive yourself.
For all the things that bring you shame.
For all that brings you pride.
For all the secrets you conceal.
For all that you will reveal.
For all the things that did not happen according to plan.
For all that you are.
For all that you will be.

Forgive yourself.

Embrace forgiveness, enjoy living! Have a nice day.........Cheers!

Happy Tuesday,

I was happy because  I thought i could cuddle with a nice book after breakfast, considering that it is sportsbreak hellooo.  So anyway I thought I would do that just as soon as I finished loading the laundry.
There are two baskets of ironing seriously trying to grope me, i know because i can feel them I see them from the corner of my eye. I have tried to ignore them for maybe... three weeks.
I was hoping they would get up straighten themselves and march straight into the closets where they would proceed to arranging themselves in neat folds.
 Thats right and the laundry has turned into a mountain and I am scared of looking at the pile because I know if I do, that will be the end of my short break, I will be confined to the laundry room for the rest of the week.

Anyway so My Monday was spent infront of the tivo yap! with iron in hand.  Amazing what a steam iron can do these days, my kids beamed at the sights of their long lost clothes and it's so lovely hearing the chirping voices sweet and mesmerized by the resurfacing of their pretty little clothes.
I get a shock when my daughter puts on her cute GAP jeans coz she's been growing while I was procrastinating and now she's almost outgrown her jeans.
No more procrastination, that's my new motto.

Hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday, No procrastination y'all.  Cheers

Suddenly Sunday

It is sooo cold today but I am cool with it because it is Sunday and I can stay in and watch a nice movie or Catch up on the Vancouver Winter Olympics which is starting to irritate me a tinsy bit.

Anja Paerson did not make it to the top 3, and Lindsey Vonn got the bronze, still.. she makes the Super G look all that easy.
Anyway my heart was in my mouth when Anja's turn came because she is such a risk taker and I was worried that she would get off the track, thank Goodness she didn't and even though she didn't get a medal she rocked it and I hope she will scoop another medal soon.

By the way, I hope you all had a fantastic week, and Jackie I hope you had a very wonderful Birthday.

It feels strange not having a working phone, hopefully the Apple doctors will be available tomorrow to operate on my poor Ibaby whose been down with the weakness for over three weeks. That is the longest a girl can go without her phone, longer than that is simply idiotic.  I hope I havn't lost all my friends due to my lack of cell phone.

Have a wonderful week you all.

Cheers!

Happy Birthdays!

Another week gone, and I soo long for the spring and I don't believe Madde when she says she doesn't mind snow on the ground, because... the snow is everywhere in mountains  and the cars are parked almost in the middle of the roads and it is impossible to drive on one lane with parked cars on both sides and oncoming traffic without elevating the pulse. (panp pant) And Madde, I have witnessed not one or two but several cyclists skidding and taking such bad falls.

It is SPORTBreak in the south of Sweden and I am so relieved to be able to break the hectic routine, no more early mornings for at least a whole week uhlala...

It is Jackie's Birthday and tomorrow is Nancy's Birthday and I want to say that I hope they grow to be toothless, but I cannot say that, because many people have sweet teeth or other unforseen problems and they drop all their teeth before 50 and they are way younger than that. Thank goodness for all the good dental solutions in this lifetime.

My dearest Sweet sisters,
I wish you both very wonderful birthdays filled with all the bliss in the world,
I hope you grow to blow 202 candles or more,(please keep your teeth intact)
I wish you all the happiness, and I hope you let all the happiness find you.
Happy Birthday Sweethearts.XOXO


Happy Birthday Jackie. XOXOHappy Birthday Nancy.XOXO

Happy Thursday Anja Paersson you rock!

Happy Thursday,
Or is it?
Depending on where you are and what you are doing,
 olympics expectations, the list is endless.
last night my heart was officially broken, after a very daring jump, Anja paersson took a nasty fall and crushed from a height of 60m, it was a downer.
As if that was not enough, and just before i could lick my  wounds and mend my ego, the sky opens and huge white snowflakes tumble, earth bound or should I say Malmö bound, yeah lovely as it may look, shovelling it is a real back breaker, "on daily basis that is." Something has got to give, Sooooon....
On a lighter note,
Heja Tre Kronor!
all is not lost. or should I say the Gold is not yet lost. lol that's more like it!
Anja you rock!! You are still the one!! Speedy recovery. You are a star

Ok ok You all are.
Cheers!
