Grateful for a wonderful friend, who gave my daughter and husband a chance to watch this game tonight.
Thank you K!!!
Not feeling too confident when sending my loved ones to a national football game at this very moment. However neither they nor I wanna give in to living a life in fear.

After a couple of days with way too much darkness - something as little as a blue sky calls for gratitude.
Cooking while listening to Bieber's new album, and this song like 30 times.
Having my daughter sitting right next to me on the kitchen table, on a Friday night. Grateful!!! I know I've been here many times before. But cannot help it.
Even though I did not feel like cooking today, these guys are way too pretty to keep the resistance high. Had to surrender. First day after surgery, and might just have stayed in bed all day if it wasn't for these begging eyes.
Thankful. Loved every step of the trail. Went to the hospital today. Had a surgery in general anaesthetic to open for more oxygen when breathing through my nose. An absolute wonderful experience people-wise. Except for the woman cleaning the area where I spend time when waiting for my turn, and whom - out of discretion perhaps - wasn't interested in any eye contact what so ever, I met so many open, warm, smiling and caring people during my short - awake - stay. From other patients, relatives, doctors, nurses and porters. When returning home, the actual operation didn't make much impression, but the impression made by all these different strangers, in a hospital environment, often described as very stressful and lacking human presence, made me absolutely grateful and filled with warm delight. All the faces and interactions stayed with me the rest of the evening, easily overshadowing any pain or discomfort due to the operation.
Spent nine hours at the hospital. 4 hours in deep sleep. Before I fell asleep the nurses advised me to think about something nice, "you can influence your dreams during general anaesthetic" they told me. And so I did. Closed my eyes thinking about walking in the forest. When I woke the nurses told me that I had smiled the entire time. And I could feel in every cell of my body that they were right. I did smile, also within! Cause I dreamt of this amazing woman who passed away 3,5 years ago. It felt as if she was still there, when I woke, and when I drank the cold lemonade offered to me right after awakening, and I noticed how extremely pleasent cold lemonade can feel in your mouth and throat, in a situation like that, I recall her last hours awake, and the pleasure and gratitude she expressed whenever my son proudly brought her new cold lemonade to her bed. Thank you grandma for being there with me today! Taking my second walk today. Just because I can.
The first one in the forest, early in the morning with a WONDERFUL friend and my dog. The second one. Just the dog and I, along the beach. Enjoying the sound of the waves. |
