Spring in my garden,

Another wonderful sunny day is on the way to be a evening and a new day. It has been nice and warm day and not that windy as it was yesterday.
Today, when I came home from the city around lunch, I got a nice surprise from the garden. First flower has start to bloom. My first crocus have start to bloom and soon will be even tulips on the way, as well as daffodils. It feels actually wonderful, since that gives an extra energy boost. Will only see how it goes, since weather has promised a little bit more snow before spring arrives in full speed.

Also have bought first strawberries for the season. Tasted as strawberries should taste. Even Sally loved them :D  A little bit more vitamins. Only thing what I love in summer is fresh strawberries. Good and tasteful. Else I just prefer to have winter and a lot of white snow. Yeeesss, I know, I am crazy, since I love snow and cold. Have missed that bit this year, but to have it now, when spring is on the way and garden starts to bloom, would like to have snow free season.

Else, I have enjoyed my day with friends, coffee and good chat. Have spoken Estonian, Swedish and just loved to spend good time among them. Most of nicest was a cuddling a small cute babygirl. Just amazing and what is most important, another day I have not done something, what has been vetoed by doctors. Only problem is, that I am happy, that I have veto time 2 weeks in the first hand. Will see, what happens after that and how it goes. Now, I just will enjoy my evening with good cup of tea and strawberries and good film. Thank you my beloved friends that you helping me to get through those weeks and possibilities for good chats and lots of coffee :P
Have a nice evening,
                                 Love,

Wonderfyl monday,

New week with new possibilities has arrived. It feels just so good. Lot of people are complaining that it is Monday again, but people should see much more the positive sides of every day. That is what I actually have learned to do, during a last 1,7 years.
My Monday has been actually very good and very active and busy. Same will be rest of the days in this week. Good and positive things among the obligations and musts.

Nice sunny morning started with the visit to my hairdresser. It was time to cut my hair again. I really love my short hair. She is very good with styling and it suits me very well. Now I have new time booked before my long trip. Can't wait it already. It feels actually more like it is new me with the short hair. All this transformation I have had during this time period since august 2013, it feels like it is more like me. I just love it. Very confident and glad and happy person with good and warmhearted people around. Exactly, what I need to cope with all of it. Even with the negative, but if we dont have negative downs, when we forget how it feels, when we have good times.

Today I got also my long waited package from Kränku with good Easter tea and coffee. Love the tea and coffee from Kränku. Good blends. I have had teas from there before, but when I last time visited by my self that nice and cozy shop, when I could see myself in heaven. Now it was time to buy a new coffee and since they had made also their own blend for Easter, I had do buy that too for taste :P. We tasted tea now in the evening and I must admit - I defiantly do not regret, that I bought it. It tasted good. Me just love it. Tomorrow I will taste Easter coffee as well. Will see how their Påskkaffi tastes. Small present for me.

In the late afternoon me and Sally went to back to big city and meet up with Tommy. Short visit to one of the local farm shop and bought some good apples. Just love the apples. Specially to have them as the evening snack when I have to take my  strong painkillers.
Rest of the day has been nice and peaceful. Since my last schoolwork in law has been handed in and tomorrow I should get the last grade for it, so I have quiet week from school before next week starts accounting.  After that I have one more subject left and I have finished that education. I signed up to one course more, but there I have to take 2 subjects, since rest I have already and it will mean, that I have finished 2 educations. Hopefully that takes me one more step closer to my goal. 

Tomorrow I will meet my friend from Estonia for a breakfast. It will be perfect to speak Estonian again, even thought I have had very good luck with me last times. I have seen my uncle couple of times and another friend, so I have had possibility to speak Estonian couple of times. Feels very good to speak my own language. 
So, my week will be nice and peaceful as doctors have ordered. Both orthopedist and doctor in hospital and medical center has  ordered me. Only I have missed my training, but soon is this 2 weeks over and I can go back to my training. Just one thing why I count my days :P So soon I am back on track. 7 may is not very far. I must train bit, since I registrated time taking run. It will go well I have decided. It must :P
Rest of the week I have planned some more coffee breaks and visit friends, have good time with my husband, small trips and just time for me.
Now I wish you all good evening and have a nice time.
                                                                                          Love,

Banana pancakes,

Today I tried something new for my snack meal. A banana pancakes. I had got tips some time before but I have not had chance to try it before. So today a nice sunny Sunday I tried it. I can say that they taste actually very good. Easy to make and good to eat in the same time I got all the proteins I needed.

Ingredients:

1,5 bananas
3 egg
little bit salt

I sliced bananas. Crack the eggs over sliced bananas. Crush and mix it smooth mix and fry on both sides. I had them with blueberries and glass of cold milk and I felt like i was in heaven.
That amount of mix gave me 12 pancakes. 

Bon Appetit!
                       Love,

Rock the socks!

In Sweden it has been last two days rock the socks day's. It is to show the world that different is good and different is fun. It is to show the world that we support people who has Down syndrome in worlds Down syndrome day. Meaning was that people had different socks on. 

So, even me had different socks on together with my friends. I think that it was a very good idea what a 10 year old girl started to show support for her older sister who has Down syndrome. Wonderful when family holds together and support each other. 

Yesterday also was another day. Spring started. Same time in the morning it felt like spring had run away from us. It was bit minus degrees outside and snow had came back to us. But not for a very long time. Already in the afternoon it had almost smelted away and sun was out again and warmed up us. 

I tried to make best out of the day and made some spring shopping for our garden. I bought some new flower pots for the garden so that it looks bit more like out. I also bought some pansies and some daffodils so that it would be ready for the Easter holidays. It felt actually really good since after that it was really nice spring afternoon outside. Even thought it was bit cold and windy. Under the sun it was on the same time nice and warm and nothing else matters. 

I know that I love winter but even spring is very nice because all is starting to wake up and it gets nice and green. That is one reason why I love spring. 

In the evening me and my dear husband visited Kristine church and listened a chamber choir Voces had a concert. Nice way to spend hour and half in the evening with good classic music. We decided that we will definitely go even next time they have a concert in May. 

Now it is time for me to rest and to enjoy my evening at home in front of the tv and to look Harry Potter film. 

Have a nice evening and enjoy your day! 

                                                                 Love,

Spring is here,

Hello spring! Today it is not perhaps a perfect first day of spring, but it has been many wonderful days before and soon nice spring day's are back again. Bit rain and cold belongs to spring. In that way, we can enjoy spring weather much more. Outside all is growing. Soon will trees have green blades, gardens will be blooming. Amazing time. I love usually winter, but even spring has it's wonderful moments. Snowdrops are blooming already together with hepatics. Soon we can see blooming cherry trees and other flowers and trees in bloom. That is the most wonderful with spring. After that I can wait autumn with it's colors and when winter again. This winter had not that much snow, hopefully next winter will be more colder and more snow. I have some thoughts and plans for next winter. Same way as I have some plans already for this spring.

It has been very busy days and much to do. Both positive and negative, but if we do not have negative days, when we can't enjoy the good times, because, we do just feel that everything is okay in my opinion. If we have mixed days, we understand and enjoy good days much more and appreciate the life in totally different way. Yes, it is my opinion, since I have found finally sun behind the clouds, what has been darken my days way too long. Time after my last operation has been a very big change for me and I have been start to be more like I was before my car accident and big life changes after that. Now I am happy and glad person again and it feels good. That does not mean, that I do not have days, where I am not down or something negative has not happen, but I appreciate life in whole different way.

This week I have spend some nights in hospital. Free food as I love to say, but also good to be there, so that doctors can find out what is this, what makes that I get the issues as it is. At least I have confidence to the doctors in my own local medical center and in our regional hospital in Jönköping. Now it is just to wait and see the final result how it will be. 
Have had a problems again with my shoulder, but a bit of it is perhaps my own fault. I can't sit quiet in one place and not to do something. So those last pains are my own caused and result of that is that I have to take it easy last 2-3 weeks and when I will meet my orthopedic again. Only thing I miss is my training. I really have fell in love to crossfit, but soon I am there again in trainings local. Crossfit is perfect trainings form for me and soon is my first spring run also. Can't wait for it. 1,5 month and I can say that I have challenged myself for a first time after a very long time to run. It feels good and i feel like I have butterflies in my stomach.

I also love that there is fairness in life.  Love to say that Karma is never forget someone even thought it sometimes it takes bit longer time, but it never forget someone. So better is to be towards others as you want life to be against you. Sooner or later the fairness for things in life comes. Muaahhahahahahaaa.

Now I will need to make some preparations and when pack the car and Sally and go to city. First will be time to meet my friends behind a cup of coffee and have a very good chat. Have missed to see my friends. After that in the afternoon it will be short visit to my father-in-law. Finally I can give him a small present from Gotland I bought for him among with some other things. It will be good to see him again. Also because I am very good to frighten my family and my close friends with my hospital visits once in a while. So, it will be good to show, that I am almost ok again. Just bit recovery is needed, but that can be managed. Just have to write my last work in private law in school and after that I have 1 week school free and almost 2 weeks to my oral examination in law. Not much left in school and then I have finished my 2 educations and validate more my university education from Estonia. Feels actually very good. Now it is time for me! Well needed time!

Have a nice day and enjoy your day!
