I wrote in a post a while ago about how I need to stay focused on the present. Doing that will reduce stress levels and make myself more efficient. So many things are fighting for attention in my poor brain at the moment. I am trying to prevent too much chaos in my poor little middle-aged head. One big part of this problem is that I am way too good at thinking and planning ahead. So much that I miss the present and just become scatterbrained instead. Forgetting things, mixing things up. What is up and what is down?? Gah! Like at work today. It was a day full of one meeting after the other. I realised that part of the time during the meetings I was zoning out – thinking about the next meeting and what I needed to do inbetween the meetings. And inbetween meetings I was focusing on […]
I want to make another car trip with my camera this weekend. Any ideas? Any safe places? I want to be able to take amazing photos out in nature in sunrise and sundown and try out taking photos of the night sky and stars. But I am too scared to be out alone nowadays, and also with theft attractive camera gear with me begging someone to attack me. I even feel a bit insecure being out in middle of the day and even though I find it a bit embarrassing and disturbing to bring out the camera and take photos among people – I stay around places where I know there are plenty of people around, or near. I hate that I can’t look through that fear and that it prevents me from doing what I want. Things have changed so fast. I didn’t use to feel this way in ”safe” Lidingö […]
I am waking up on my last morning in Borås. Going home after two days of meetings and work. It’s always nice to spend a couple of days with my Borås colleagues. But it’s also nice to come home. It will be good to sleep in my own bed tonight. I got an interesting hotelroom I must say. It didn’t have a waste bin so I have had to put my garbage in a plastic bag. And no little fridge to put my milk and youghurt like they normally have. And the hotel view was intriguing too. Thank you for this time Borås, I love you anyway. See you soon again! Borås Hotel Grand. My home away from home. A room with a view. From hotel window. Instead of a fridge…

Nu är ljuset här på riktigt. Och med sommartiden kom påsken och det underbara vårvädret under helgen. Det här är bästa tiden på året som jag har framför mig nu. Den börjar med sommartiden och pågår fram till och med augusti då mörkret börjar vinna över ljuset igen. Men det tänker jag inte på nu. Nu tänker jag på att mina livsandar vaknar till liv. Med ljuset, solen och värmen. I måndags morse åkte jag iväg och handlade frukost tidigt på morgonen. Det var som att hamna i paradiset när jag redan så tidigt på morgonen kände solens värme och en härlig frisk vårluft som fyllde kroppens alla celler med livgivande syre. Inget snack om saken. En fotopromenad skulle det bli senare när jag hade ätit frukost och kommit i ordning. Det dröjde till klockan blev ett innan jag kom iväg och körde till paradiset i Elfvik. Jag ville testa lite […]

Today I had the most amazing photo walk in my Elfvik paradise. Even though I only took a couple of photos. The sun sparkles in the water inspried me to film instead of taking photos. This film will be up tomorrow. I am teasing a bit! 😉 Building up suspension. Building up expectations. So you are now at the edge of your seats and expect a masterpiece no less. Right?? 😉 But in all honesty it is just a bunch of clips of ”moving photos” so to speak. I like the addition movement gives to a scene that a still photograph can’t convey. I also like how the film media allows you to edit and add music to the scenes. An extra dimension. I took some lazy snapshots with the mobile phone when I just wanted a quick photo to document the walk. Taking out the camera and prepare it would take too […]
The long weekend is over. It came and went. Time is fascinating. It is seconds and minutes. 60 seconds per minute for 24 hours a day. Time is constant. But yet it feel so inconsistent. It can be very slow. And very fast. Five minutes is an eternity when you stand in the rain waiting for the bus at the bus stop and a lovely spring-like four-day long weekend can feel like two seconds. Easter Eve was spent with my grandmother. We had a lovely day feasting on cake and sweets. It was a beautiful early spring day. If this keeps up soon things will start to blossom and bring back colour to nature again. When I walked in Lidingö Centrum to buy our cake, I was like a drug addict craving the sunlight that flooded the square . Its bright light and warm soothing rays on my cheeks started an endorphine rush in […]
Jag känner att vardag och helg flyter ihop ibland. Speciellt när det är mycket att göra på vardagarna med jobb och annat. Då måste ju helgerna gå åt till det som man inte hinner med hemma under vardagarna – som att städa och tvätta och göra ärenden. Vilket gör att helgen passerar så fort att man inte ens hinner blinka och sedan är man på jobbet igen. Man hinner liksom inte med att uppfatta att man är ledig i två dagar utan allt bara rörs ihop till en enda räcka av dagar som passerar och saker som ska göras. Jag måste jobba på att bli mer närvarande i nuet. Jag tänker och planerar alltför ofta framåt. Jag fokuserar på allt jag ska göra sedan istället för det jag gör just nu. Vilket gör att jag blir tankspridd, glömmer saker och tappar bort saker. Jag tror att detta är ett stressrelaterat fenomen. […]
I am beginning to see the light in the blog tunnel again. But today I will only be posting this entry. After I got home yesterday from our customer event I was going to take photos for Jen’s and my photo project this afternoon, schedule today’s blog entries, and a lot of other things. But fell asleep. Have you heard that before? Sleepy head me. So now I am stealing five minutes from work to get this morning’s entry out on time. Thank you for understanding this odd blog week. 🙂 I see the light next week to be back to normal updates again. Can’t wait!

Klockan är tio på kvällen nu och jag är så trött att ögonen inte vill vara öppna. Och imorgon ringer klockan extra tidigt för att hinna förbi jobbet och skriva ut program till vår kunddag. Så jag måste helt enkelt ge upp att skriva ett väl genomtänkt och intressant inlägg igen. Och även imorgon blir en lång dag så jag kommer förmodligen inte hinna skriva något klokt och inspirerande till på torsdag heller. Jag kommer igen i bloggen i slutet på veckan! Då kommer jag också att läsa ikapp hos alla mina favoritbloggar. Den här veckan var ingen bra bloggvecka heller! 🙁 Jag har gett mig själv ett tufft publiceringsschema i bloggen – ibland klarar jag inte av att hålla det. Men jag ger aldrig upp – minst ett inlägg om dagen. Jag ska dock försöka få dem lite mer intressanta än jag lyckats med hittills den här veckan. Men är […]
Phew. I have given myself a tough updating schedule in this blog with two entries every weekday. I do it because I love wrting for the blog, but also to keep a regular frequent update. I have had this blog now for a couple of months and I realise it is really hard to keep up with this schedule with interesting content twice everyday when you combine this with a busy full time job. Since I work all day I have to write the entries in the evening before they are published and schedule them to be automatically published 8 am and 3 pm the day after. I also need to have something to write about and when your days consist of work and not much else it is not always easy to find interesting subjects to blog about even though I try. And at times, as you have noticed, I […]
Thanks. I think I'm doing reasonably well, even if there have been many restrictions, if you have to change some…
Agree 100%. I think a lot of us have had to rethink our lives during the pandemic. And I think…
The pandemics that started last year was something completely unexpected and unknown that changed so much our lives. It was…
Hugs right back! What would I have done without you! ❤️
You have had such a tough time of it, your strength and determination are such an inspiration. I am so…
