Welcome to Anna’s Diary

After celebrating midsummer, summer has really arrived and is her to stay for at least two months. Finally. I have had three days off that have passed by rapidly, and I have been busy with my family and also with my sweetie. I have also thought a lot about my mother. Life comes into a new perspective when somebody so close passes away.

I am very happy since I have something to look forward to, namely “tjejmilen”. And I am so glad that I will have company. Two colleagues of mine will join. So this weekend I spent time training as well, not only socialising. Eight kilometers running and then walk with sweetie. Always very eager to go for walks.

This evening’s writing is short. I am a bit tired of computers since I have had trouble with the internet, but now it is up and running again.

I had a few summer photos this weekend. Sharing my joy of staying with my sweetie. She is so spoiled. But she is worth it. I like to do a lot of training, but health is also about what you eat. Later, I will share some about my cooking.

Stockholm is tropical this evening which is rare for midsummer. Some rain drops now and then. It has been a busy week, but I have had some time for friends in the evening. Italian food and chats. Delicious food and nice “tête-à-tête talks”. Tomorrow is midsummer, and I really have to stop and breathe. Understand that we actually are in the best time of the year. By these words I wish you a Happy Midsummer weekend.

The weather is perfect now. A little tropical. I had to use my umbrella today for a few minutes and then the sunshine returned. This was a day off, and it has disappeared quickly. I got back to exercise again after running “blodomloppet”. This evening spinning, and also some core exercise. Training is one of my greatest hobbies in life. Sometimes when I don’t have enough time I do some exercise at home. Currently I have a little problem. My music machine that I have had for many years is broken. I am very sad for that. Music is such a great part of my life so this afternoon I had to go and search for a new machine. Now I can continue with Jane Fonda work out. I have a goal this summer. To learn crawl swimming technique. My challenge is to learn how to breath. By coincidence, I found this Madonna video. Nice song and inspiring.

To keep up the good work is a daily challenge. To have focus, and to remember that there is another day tomorrow. It is summer time now. No doubt. And I know that these weeks will pass by rapidly and I have so much I would like to do. I still feel sorry for my mother. I miss her. Even though she had her memory loss, she recognised my voice when I called her. She was there. It is just to accept that it takes time to mourn.

That is why I do so much cooking and training. To keep me busy. I make so many cakes and various meals. Tomorrow I will go training again. It is so good to have this running course to look forward to. Tjejmilen. Are you joining?
