Word's of wisdom,


Today's word of wisdom comes from Louise Hay. Those words are something I am trying to live after since a month ago, since when I understood totally what is important in this life. Life is too short to hate someone! Those persons are not worth it.
Have a wonderful Saturday and enjoy the sun!

Afternoon in the city,


Today I have been a good girl. After my meeting with school and with health insurance i could have little bit time for me and for my friends. It ended with good lunch and after that a small dessert. It was a good Italian ice-cream. A well deserved ice-cream if I am honest, since after my operation, today was first time I had walked nearly 3 kilometers. It was fantastic feeling, but it made me also very tired. So after I came home and spent some time in outside, I laid to sofa and just fell to sleep. I did not hear even, when my husband came home.
After dinner, we took a small walk together as well. It feels so good to be out in nature. It seemed that it had rained before, so the air was fresh and sun was out. Just a good time to walk and even my small cute dog was happy for that extra walkng tripp :)
Have a nice evening and we will hear soon again, since it feels like I can start to be little bit more like me and it feels so good. It has took already so much of me and my life to fight with all of it.
Love,
             Ingrit

Evening out,


Since I came home from hospital after my operations, I have been very much at home, since I have had first 3,5 weeks not much energy and I have not felt well either, but today it was second time I took a longer trip out after all what have happened.
I asked my husband in daytime, that could we take a trip to Huskvarna, since they had season start for car and MC meetings in park there. I had never been there, but it would nice to come out bit and also try to how much energy I have, so that I know how much I can do, when I am alone. Since doctor and nurses in my own medical center have told that I have to take care and listen my body after what have happened.
It was so nice to spend an hour outside today. Of course I sat a bit and I walked very slowly. Got help both from my husband and my friend, but it was fun and it felt good. Same time, I still felt that my energy ends quite fast and that feels bit sad, but soon I am back as I was before operation. Sad part is, that there is not much nothing to do than just accept all this.
In the park was quite many nice cars. Theme of today was Mustang. My dream car since I got my driving license. Who knows, perhaps one day I also will get it :P One thing I am sure. I hopefully will visit that car meeting more times that just this time. It was interesting to see all this old cars.
Another thing I am sure, is that I will try to push me bit more every day if it is possible. At least when I have my good days.
Have a nice evening,
                                   Love,

To be or not to be,


It is one of those days, I just feel, that it is not my day. At least it ended better than it started. Once in a while, we all have those days.
In afternoon I met my doctor. After all, I have lived through, it was nice to hear that some of the medications can be taken off and never to see it again. It felt good. So some things are going in right direction.
In weekend I can start to take longer walk trips again and hopefully I can start to make my handwork again. Also my concentration starts to come back. It has been totally off-line after my emergency operation. Still getting very easy and fast tired and hugging my pillow, but hopefully soon I am back in my own skin and feeling better. Once in a while I feel to giving up, but I also understand that it is not the answer. It is always too easy to give up. It is harder to fight, but sometimes it is worth to fight on all the way. I will try at least to do it.
Have a nice evening,
                                  Love,

Happy Mother's Day,


Today it is a Mother's Day in Estonia and several other countries. Here in Sweden, it is still couple of weeks for that one special day for our mothers.
For me, it is another Mother's Day without my own mother, but I have 2 special persons in my life, who is very good replacements for her and I believe that my mother is very happy over it, that they are in my life and giving me advice, supporting me and just are here for me. It is not always, when blood relationships matters, it love, caring and warm heart what matters. 
Today I would like to say Happy Mother's Day to my aunt, who has been always here for me! After my mother passed away, she told me, that I always can turn to her and I love her for that. Later in the day, I will go even to church yard in memorial corner and light a candle to my mother. In almost 4 weeks ago, was probably she and my granny, who looked after me and told that it is too early for me, to leave this world.
So, I want to say Happy Mother's Day to all mother, who celebrates that day today and I want to say thank you for my aunt, who is here for Us!

Love,
            Ingrit

Congratulations Austria and Conchita.


Congratulations Austria. Even thought, I would had liked to see Sweden to win this years Eurovision Song Contest, it was so good to see that Austria won. Conchita showed the world, you can be, who you are and still win. What a fantastic evening it has been from Denmark. We saw, that it does not matter, are you hetero, gay, lesbian or transvestite,  what matters is person self and in this contest even the song and personality and melody and so many other things.
It was very brave from her to represent Austria. Everything is possible if we want in this life, what seems to be so full of prejudice.
Congratulations also to Sanna and to Sweden in proud third place. I really loved this years song. It was a wonderful song. Hopefully we will see her another times in Eurovision.
In the same time, it was sad to see that in my opinion, so many countries made the competition too political. At least it is my own opinion. It is bit sad, but that's life and we can't do nothing else, than just accept.  It feels like some countries giving votes to neighbors and other similar countries. Perhaps one day, we will see the competition as it should be - judging and voting for the songs.

See you next year in May and see, what will happen in Austria. Will be interesting to see, who will win there.

Have a nice evening and sleep well!

Eurovision Song Contest 2014,


Another evening in front of the TV has been gone to the evening. In the evening it was time to Eurovision Song Contest from Copenhagen again. This time was time for Lithuania, Finland and Norway. My fingers was crossed bit for Norway, since I thought that the song was very nice and I would like to see it on Saturday as well.
On the other hand this semifinal had several interesting performances. One from Poland and another from Austria. Respect for Austria. It was nice to see, that someone have courage to do it. I am also for that we live in 2014 and we all should have equal rights, since we live in free and democratic world.
Now, I will have to wait Saturday to see, who will win Eurovision. In small bit, I have hope that Sanna would win, but I would not be sad either if it is Norway this time.

Have a nice evening,
                                    Ingrit

Another cold and rainy day,


It is another cold and rainy day outside. It is just perfect or is it... I understand, that some people are thrilled when it is raining, but enough is just enough.
I love winter and I love spring, but that does not mean, that I love raining days. One day - OK, I can buy it, since fields, corn and nature needs it, but more days is quite unnecessary. That is just my opinion or perhaps I am just grouchy.
Might be several things or probably all. Mostly I believe it is that I liked this nice weather and to sit on my balcony and get well after all this, what have happened during last 3 weeks and even longer period.
One thing I am sure, I have started to think a little bit more for myself at least as well. It feels just bit strange, since I am never done that before. This is my first times to do it and I have started to feel actually better for myself. I have started to feel, that even I am something worth and not only let some people to just step on me and make me feel worthless as I have felt most of the life. I must admit, that I am happy over that feeling. Me, who most of my life have had low self confidence and low self-esteem.  I have always let people to do, to say to me and to make me feel zero! Not anymore! Seems on the other hand that some people does not like it, that I have started to stand up for me. That I have started to say NO. I have not changed much, just realized how short life suddenly can be. Twice under 8 months period to get that reminder, is twice too many times. We should not get those kind of reminders, since last reminder for me was way too close.
People who really loving me, will take me as I am, will take me who I am and do not want to change me, who I am not. They still love me, if I make mistakes, if I learn on my road and even if I say no. I am very happy that I have those people in my life. They support me, they help me, they give their criticism, but they still love me as I am, by the end of the day and giving me a big hug or pillow, when my tears are running. I love them all and they also knowing, that I will be here for them.
Now, I hope that soon will come sun after the raining. So much things out in our garden is still need to be done and when we can have both summer and autumn, so that winter could arrive again. Yes, I know, I love winter.
Have a nice evening,
                                         Love,
                                                     Ingrit

Congratulations Sweden,


Congratulations Sweden. In Saturday at least 2 of my favorite countries will sing on European Song Contest. After todays first semifinal Sweden went further to final on Saturday and Denmark is already together with other 5 big countries, since they won last year.
Unfortunately Estonia is out  for this year, even thought that I thought they had one of the better songs after some years. It is bit sad, that I do not see, my own home country in final, but hopefully they have better luck next year. That will make perhaps, that next year Estonia will  choose bit better song.
Now, we will have to wait until Thursday to see, what semifinal 2 will bring with it. When it is Finland and Norway's turn.

Love,

Ingrit

Eurovision 1 semifinal - Estonia - Tanja and her Amazing,


Today it is that day again, when we can start to follow the Eurovision Song Contest 2014.  This time it is in Copenhagen, since last year Denmark won ESC in Malmö.
Today's one of the performance comes from Estonia - Tanja and song Amazing. I hope of course that the song will get one of the places in final on Saturday, but in the same time, never don't know, what might happen. I have not listened other songs, so I do not know, how it is. It just will be time to see, what will happen.
In those days, I miss little my time in Denmark only. Specially on Saturday, because, then we was many Estonians who met and had good evening together. Here, nothing like that have been during the last 4,5 years I have lived in Sweden. It is bit sad, but here I have not met that warm togetherness, what was in Denmark. We had good food, everyone made small bet who is the winner and so on and on.
Have a nice afternoon and we will meet again after first semifinal,

 Ingrit
