Words. Synonyms. Expressions. Languages. Culture. Colours. Environment. Water. Energy. As you know I like languages a lot. I love to write. If you would choose a word of favorite; what word would you choose? Right now and today my favorite word is people. I think there is a magazine called People. Long time ago I read it.
Stockholm is very winter today. Blue, bright sky. Cold. Wishing you a Happy Friday!

…is definetly a challenge this time of the year. I think it depends a lot on no light. It is well known that there are endogenous hormones regulating the circadian rhythm and they are associated with daylight. No doubt that they are affected.
So to attend exercise class demands some kind of discipline. To put the extra clothes on since it is so cold. To find a hat and gloves. Carefully walk on ice. Think of not falling. And at the same time, as I do a lot, go window shopping. The great reward is to attend the class, have fun and listen to good music. Some music makes me smile a lot. Happy music. Music stimulates the brain reward system as well as the actual exercise do. In conclusion, it makes the body feel good.
Right now I don´t have much more to write. I wish you all health and a prosperous January.

Music is one of the best things in the world, I think. Music unites. This week David Bowie passed away. I have some music of him that I sometimes listen to. Some of his songs are just great. My favorite song is “Heroes”. I don´t know why, but it gives a lot of energy.
You know that I went to Cuba a few years ago. I don´t know much Spanish. I cannot speak Spanish, just know a few words. But I understand quite a lot. I ended up almost a week at a beautiful Island where I made a lot of friends. Cuban friends. We couldn´t speak but one thing that united was ABBA. So we made a lot of jokes because ABBA was the only thing that we could mutually understand. Me grown up in Sweden. They grown up in Cuba. So ABBA was a very good way to understand each other.
I also learnt that becoming a musician was the finest profession that you could ever have in Cuba. I fancy that a lot. Even better than medical school.
Today winter is beautiful in Stockholm. I just made some fish for meal. I have followed the news, and I feel a bit embarrassed of Swedish politics. I think there must be some change. Maybe that you have, at least, a university degree to represent the Parliament. I feel ashamed.
This is the time of the year when it is good to go to cinema. It is cold and it is dark. When I studied in Uppsala I went rather often to movie. This cinema was my favorite. Close to Norrlands Nation by Fyrisån. Remember I saw Pulp Fiction there. Great memory!

It is so cold. Think it must be about -20 degrees Celsius. Right now it is difficult to believe that the opposite can exist. Tropical evenings. The definition of tropical is, I think, that it has to be more than 20 degrees Celsius.
I really don´t know who reads my writing. I know my father reads this sometimes. My family follow what I do. However, I write like it is my diary. I have learnt to be open. That is complicated, having a private and a public “gard”. Somehow, I have figured out that it is very difficult to have something private.
Tonight will be an early evening. Preparing for BodyCombat tomorrow. That will be really good.
Take care,
Anna
Today is the end of holidays. After some days off life is turning to ordinary life again. It is very cold in Stockholm. Snowy. Windy. Dark. And you have to be careful when you walk to not fall on ice.
So, no big news. All decoration is gone and I am thinking of plans further on in my life. Learning Instagram. My biggest challenge right now.
