Alone is not strong / Ensam är inte stark

A few years ago I went to a presentation about Ung Cancer's work. I was incredibly touched by the presentation and the film "Det är okej att känna" (It is ok to feel). I wanted to contribute in some way. So for a few years now I have from time to time beaded bracelets. The moment I bead is a type of mindfulness for me. I'm relaxed yet focused on what to do, one by one beads become bracelets. Bracelets that are sold and give funds to Ung Cancer's continuous important work. Sometimes when I'm too much up in my own head, moments like these feel extra valuable and peaceful. On Ung Cancer's beading days, which take place several times a year and in several cities, one can come without registration and stay for as long as you like. Here I have met friendship, love and laughter. Why not open up with a hello to the person sitting opposite you. There are amazing things happening in the coming together of people. A part of a well-spent Sunday it is anyway. 🙏

För några år sedan var jag på ett föredrag om Ung Cancers verksamhet. Jag blev otroligt berörd av föredraget och filmen "Det är okej att känna". Jag ville bidra på något sätt. Så i några år nu har jag då och då pärlat armband. Den stunden jag pärlar är en typ av mindfulness för mig. Jag är avslappnad men ändå fokuserad på vad jag ska göra, en efter en blir pärlor till armband. Armband som säljs och ger intäkter till Ung Cancers fortsatt viktiga arbete. Ibland när jag är för mycket uppe i mitt eget huvud känns just sådana här stunder extra värdefulla och rofyllda. På Ung Cancers pärldagar som sker flera gånger under året och i olika städer kan man komma som man är utan föranmälan och stanna så länge man vill. Här har jag mött gemenskap, kärlek och skrattat. Varför inte öppna upp med ett hej till personen som sitter mitt emot dig. Det finns fantastiska saker som händer i mötet mellan människor. En del av en väl spenderad söndag är det i alla fall. 🙏

The joy of crochet / Virkglädje

Image
If someone would have told me a few years ago that someday I would start to crochet, I would never have believed them. I never really understood how people could find book reading or handcraft so relaxing, but I did envy them for it. I was more of the training type of person. But, you should never say never and not stop learning more about yourself. You can have more aptitudes then you realise. They can be well hidden and never tried. So this Christmas, after becoming interested, I was taught to crochet and I have been hooked 😊 ever since. I continued on my own with help from Youtube clips. They make it easy to just stop and try yourself at your own speed. I have since then crocheted granny squares and flowers and other techniques and I'm still appreciating the fun of being more creative. Crochet is so much more than a hobby. It is pure mindfulness. It has something to do with using your hands, just like cooking and gardening. You become calm and focused. I even heard that crochet

Enjoy the little things / Njut av de små sakerna

Just think that it is so easy to long to be far away, even though you have so much beauty to explore nearby. I have lately discovered the islands around Gothenburg. Recently we went to Asperö where I have never been before. Asperö is an island in Gothenburg's southern archipelago where about 400 inhabitants live. A smaller island that I think is sometimes passed by as many instead travel to the larger islands of the archipelago. We traveled from Saltholmen boat terminal to Asperö Östra (Eastern Asperö) which is the first stop with the ferry. It only takes about 10 minutes. You can now also take ferries to the southern archipelago from Stenpiren Travel Centre. Once on the island it is quiet, there are not a lot of people and everything is very close so you do not have to walk very far. We took with us salads from the mainland and we ate these for lunch by the boat harbour. After this we walked to the small shop to buy ice cream and drinks. We decided to walk up to the top of the vie

Beautiful in every way / Vackert på alla sätt

Sometimes you get days that are beautiful in every way. Such happiness it is to experience a Sunday in September while the summer is still around. A perfect day for a small trip. We have decided to visit Gunnebo House and Gardens that with bus from Gothenburg takes about 15 minutes to reach. As I enter the Gunnebo House environment, I immediately get a wow-feeling. Here it is beautiful like a dream and there is so much to look at of this 17th century property, which is well preserved and well maintained. I smell the lavender on our way up to the House, the lovely smell of lavender is hard to beat. In the southern garden we sit down and enjoy the sun, the surroundings and our bag of tea and fruit. After that we take a walk around Gunnebo cultural reserve and watch the cows as they rest in the shade. On our way back we walk around the kitchen garden next to Gunnebo Coffee House and Restaurant, here grows vegetables, herbs and flowers among other things. The tomatoes smell just as good
