photodiary

My life has become quite restricted since I've been on sickleave and I am more homebound.
It's a blessing for me that I am an introvert, have good daily routines, and love books/journals and being creative.
So you can't tell by my #photodiary that I am more home:
- A lovely sunrise from the kitchen window
- Coffee and prayer time using my newly made Prayer Bible
- Reading, study, and creative time
- Relaxing after the kids were sent off to school and the morning house work was done
- My mom's dog Shiba waiting for me to come home after grocery shopping
- Saturday night takeout treat (it's my "day off" cooking) and a great movie
- Babysitting my 11 month old niece and 4 year old nephew. And James; the four legged family member
- Seeing the silhouettes of the trees in the puddles
- My youngest tucking his teddies in for the day.

This week's #photodiary
- My kids got me a Dr Pepper while they were on a holiday with their grandparents
- Baking buns for the family
- Valentines treats for my sons before I gift wrapped the goodies
- Valentines with my favorite takeout and a favorite movie (Hunger Games 2)
- Using my Prayer Bible before I do my daily Bible reading. It really deepens the reading to pray about God and His Word first
- Two new ball pens with black ink. They are really pretty and look great in my pencil case. Plus they write great - which of course is the main thing;)
- Splurged and got myself a magazine I can use for making the front page collage for March in my Faith Journal
- Homemade Everything Bagel seasoning. It's so expensive to buy online where I live. So I found a recipe to make it myself
- A safe place of mine; in my books, Bibles, and journals.
Thank you all for being here and for letting me share.
It's a lifeline for me to focus on the good.

As I work through grief and acceptance about my sickleave, change in circumstances AGAIN, and new lows in energy - plus new highs in fatigue, I am beyond grateful for my #photodiary

I still take at least one picture a day (not counting the pictures I download or screenshots;) of something good.

My habit tracker app reminds me to keep an eye out for good moments and glimmers.

This week's pick:

- Dog sitting my mom's senior dog Shiba

- Ordering my favorite pizza sandwich and re-watching a favorite movie (The Hunger Games)

- My sister got me M&M's when she went grocery shopping because she knows it's a favorite of mine and I'm going through a crisis

- A treat; my favorite - a scone with chocolate. And the waiter heated it for me; so delicious

- Cozy and warm socks to sleep in

- New stickers and a new folder for a project that helps me to keep going

- The earrings my friend got for me because she felt bad I'm on yet other sickleave

- Re-found my fitbit watch to watch my calorie intake now I'm even less active than before

- A Moleskine with extra pages (specially ordered) for another project; started a 5 year diary.

Thank you all for being here and for letting me share.

You help me to keep going!

The first #photodiary of 2026.
I've been keeping up with taking at least one picture a day of something good since the beginning of September.
Some of the highlights this week:
- Snow, actual snow! We have it so seldom now a days in my country. So for me it's a joy when it arrives (even though I shoveled a lot of snow;)
- My youngest brother's girlfriend was dog sitting. So she brought Carlo to the New Year party. And he was just the cutest and softest dog
- Notes for my verse for the year; 2 Corinthians 5:17. To go with my Faith focus for the year; Identity in Christ and God's promises
- A beautiful full moon shining so bright
- The king's New Year speech. It always ends with "God bless, preserve, and guard Denmark" and I always take a picture of that moment. Have for at least 15 years
- Walking my mom's dog senior Shiba in the snow; she loves it and gets all puppy like
- Study and quiet time
- Collage for the front page for January
- I absolutely splurged and got myself a new everyday bag (I really, really needed an upgrade).
Thank you all for letting me share!

Once again I had so many pictures to choose from for this week's #photodiary
And I feel so blessed.
I am really thankful to round off a year of posting on The Mighty with a reminder of all the good life has to offer - even when I struggle.
- I've found a spot on my way to work with a beautiful sunrise view
- My mom's dog Shiba being all cute and making sure she also gets "packed", with all the other stuff my parents were bringing to their vacation house, by placing herself on the pillow my mom was going to pack for her

- When it was finally time to relax on the couch after some ever so busy, but also wonderful, Christmas days
- Baked buns to enjoy
- My oldest son gave me such a wonderful and thoughtful gift. He had remembered I love the "Jesus paid it all" receipt with Romans 6:23. So he had it framed
- My new Bible with small birds on the cover (my middle name is the name of a small bird). It's The One Year Bible for Women, Birdsong Edition
- Loving and caring message from Lofi Girl posted on YouTube: "You deserve all the best in the world". Something I always forget...
