Sweden :)

Today I have lived in Ljusdal/Sweden for 3 month and this week I was "supposed" to move back to Copenhagen after the original plan.



now I don't really have a plan that I trust besides loving what's around me.

Another week has started and I can look back at the weekend on the beach with a smile. We have actually been on the beach the last few weekends with good friends, dogs, swedish beer and food :) Sometimes after work at 1730 ish we'll hurry home, grab the back with beach things and run to the beach to enjoy the last hours with sun. And it's wonderful down there. When you look over the water, you see mountains and woods to the left and to the right you see the incredible long train passing the water and small mountains above. It's not easy to describe, but I'll try and take pictures of it, even though a picture can not justifice the feeling of being there. I love it and I'll miss those moments when we one day return to Copenhagen. 

A little memory on the bench from the beach and the kittens.

and then I have realized that Adona is just as crosseyed as I am :)




In September I'm going to DK on vacation for 2 weeks. One week with my family in Jutland and then one week in Copenhagen. I'll meet Alicia and Lise that I lived with, and MATTIE our dog who will be coming with Alicia from the US. And then I'll take Mattie back to Sweden. I'm sure she'll love it here! But what a hazzle it is to bring a dog from USA to Denmark and then Sweden. Urgh...! But it's gonna be worth it. It only cost me 4-5 dollars to bring her to Ljusdal from Copenhagen with one stop in Stockholm. So Mattie will be going on her longest traintrip ever. 10 hours ish :) I pray that she'll sleep the whole way. 

Today I made a little note with hearts for a swedish colleague and 2 backs of marsmallows that she loves putting in her hot chocolate! She was so happy when she met in and later she came by my little "office" and gave me a beautiful handmade candlelight! I'm so happy about this candlelight that I don't even dare to light it... then it would disapear one day and I don't want this to happen. A lot of people from work is on vacation and there is not much to do. Taking time to encourage and do small things for people you love or barely know is a great opportunity. Take it when it's possible! So many people will even feel blessed by a smile, a hug, a note or something small that doesn't take much more effort, but will make someone feel loved and cared for. And when you don't expect it you'll be blessed back a 100 times from someone you love or a random person on the street. 




And now... a little taste of something I love. This is one out of 6 different kinds of orchids but they others are "sleeping" at the moment but are even more gorgeus and have up to 20-25 flowers on one :) But I do not have pictures here from when they were "awake".




That was it for this time. Thank you for visiting :) 


Love from Helena

... but I don't feel that any different as I thought I would feel. Life has already putted a little mark on me, and I wonder if I'm gonna be so market and full of wisdom in another 24 years from now, that I'll blow and all my life experience and wisdom at the time will be spread all over the world...



and maybe be wasted...?



or will someone catch it and learn?



Today my number changed from 23 to 24 and life is getting harder but BETTER :)



Thank you to all those who have had an impact on my life so far.

And for those who will make one in the future.... See you soon ;)
