photodiary

This week's #photodiary
- My life may not be a walk in the park. But at least my energy still allows me to go for a walk in the neighborhood park
- Dog sitting my brother's new puppy; Hugo. He is SO tiny!
- Some cold soda
- Writing prompt in my Bible study; make a list of ways God already has blessed you - I quickly filled two pages! The theme was Trust His Track Record
- The afternoon sunlight shining on the cross at my church
- My mom pays for my groceries once a week. And it keeps my budget from falling apart
- Mixing "Friday candy" with my youngest and doing our traditional cheers in a piece of candy while taking a photo
- I've found a momentarily solution to my lack of a big enough pencil case; I use two
- Beautiful flowers and a clear blue sky.
Thank you all for letting me share and for always being so kind.

I always enjoy when I realize it's time to make my #photodiary
It's like a little tribute to the beauty and good in a everyday life on sickleave.
This week's moments:
- A graffiti flower made out of a no stopping nor parking sign. And the irony of a car parked in front of it
- Re-found my porcelain troll! Love the hair. And how it reminds me of the good and safe in my childhood
- Pride and Prejudice, the original series
- Met the newest addition to the family; one of my brothers' new puppy. His name is Hugo and he is a mini poodle🐩 he is so tiny and so cute
- Spring flowers in the sun
- My sis in law made latte art in my coffee. And the coffee was delicious
- I can afford my supplements and medications. And I have the energy to sort them out so it's easier to take everything at the right time
- Finally found a bag I've been looking for for months! It's from a now closed store in Denmark. So it's kinda like a memory piece. And bonus; it's made in such great quality (which the store was known for)
- Finished my notes on every day of Holy Week.
Thank you all for being here.
And for letting me share - you have no idea how important this ritual is for me, so thank you.

I really like when Wednesday morning comes around. Because it means it's time to make my #photodiary
This week's picks:
- Blueberry muffins made for my family; especially my pregnant sis in law (it's a favorite of hers)
- My mom's senior dog Shiba on "I better keep an close eye on this food making process just in case something gets dropped on the floor" duty. She takes her duties VERY serious
- Soft and golden afternoon sunlight. I don't like bright sunlight (maybe as the one person in the world?). So when it softens late afternoon, I can finally enjoy the rays
- Easter table decoration my mom made for the BIG Easter lunch
- Some neighborhood kids colored stones on the pavement with chalk
- New nails. It's such a vibe
- Could pick up my Rahab study book. And I love a new book!
- Got invited to the movies. Such a treat on many levels. And Project Hail Mary was such a great movie!
- Yesterday I picked up the last book I'd ordered. A workbook about our identity in Christ. It's my Faith focus for 2026.
Thank you all SO much for letting me share!

Making this week's #photodiary on a rather stressful day.
So it was a very nice break to look at pictures and make the collage.
This week's moments:
- Enjoying looking through my now full sticker album
- Finished page in my Faith Journal about God's Provision and Grace. I write one sentence each day
- Being afternoon light through two sets of glass doors
- A presentation about "The vikings and their traveling" by one of my favorite authors
- The smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies
- An almost full moon shining through the curtains and lighting up the bedroom
- A little white feather on my path. Always appreciate this symbol
- Quiet time with stickers, journals, books, Bibles, and snacks
- Found a large cosmetic pouch I can use as a pencil case for all my new and old pens.
Thank you all for always being so kind and supportive. I appreciate it more than you'll ever know.

I had so many pictures to choose from for this week's #photodiary
So even though I am on sickleave, mostly homebound, and not able to do what I did just a short time ago, I do feel like I have a beautiful life.
This week's picks:
- Beautiful new pens. And on top of looking gorgeous and feeling great; they write so perfect
- Shiba needing some love and attention. I think she feels unsafe sometimes because of her age making her vulnerable (due to partial loss of sight and hearing)
- Babysitting my niece Rosa. And seeing her play with toys my sons used to play with. Doesn't feel like it was that long ago; but it's been 11 years
- I voted! And I am so thankful that elections in Denmark are fair, safe, joyous, and free!!
- Gorgeous pastels during the last sunlight of the day
- A new notebook. It's SO pretty. And the paper is of such high quality!
- I got an Easter "egg" from my oldest friend. And it was packed with stickers - I was thrilled
- A teeny, tiny snail on the sidewalk. Blazing it's tiny path. And leaving it's little mark on the world
- Made Easter eggs for my sons. Love to do this. Filled it with goodies they like and some money.
Thank you all for letting me share. I so look forward to making these posts. They help me so much. And enrich my everyday life.

This week's #photodiary
- A cart full of groceries with a 15% off coupon
- My youngest has a new lunch box that fits the content perfectly (I find that very satisfying😅)
- Shiba wanting some soft scratchies behind the ears
- Being able to nurse my oldest when he had the flu and make sure he had what he needed
- Finished cross stitch piece (Four Peas in a Pod) for my niece's baptism (made Two Peas in a Pod for my brother and sis in law's wedding and Three Peas in a Pod when their firstborn was baptized)
- A little pocket cross for my pencil case
- The chocolate chip cookies I made for the baptism party
- An absolute highlight of my day; quiet time with my books, Bibles, and notebooks
- Was able to get my kids a special treat. My oldest had gotten some great grades for two projects and my youngest had a straining day. So it was time for a treat for both.
Thank you all for letting me share.
I really needed to make this collage today since I'm depressed.

This week's #photodiary
- A cup of delicious hazelnut coffee with my childhood BFF
- New bedtime devotional book
- Got the baptism gift for my niece, Rosa, and it was so beautifully wrapped
- I was lucky and tucked Rosa in for her afternoon nap. Such a blessing to walk her and hear her baby-talk herself to sleep. All safe and sound - and loved
- I saw the first ladybug of 2026
- Budding branches. It's so lovely when the green returns
- I love stickers! And I am making a sticker page on the first page in my One Year Bible for Women
- New nails; pink French. For spring and the baptism on Saturday
- Beautiful morning light in the kitchen🌄
Thank you all for being here. And for letting me share.

My mood has dipped quite a bit.
I find spring very triggering mixed with all the lovely things... so I am pretty much all over the place.
But a grounding practice of mine is looking in my #photodiary
This week's picks:
- Spring flowers. We call them "announcers of Spring"
- My mom's senior dog, Shiba, doing her morning groom; gotta look your best for the day ahead
- It's still cold during the night. So I appreciate my warm and soft cherry socks
- My haul from the drugstore; they had an amazing sale. And my skin is so happy
- A beautiful full moon. It lit up the entire night
- Baked buns for the entire family
- My oldest son asked me when I could make pancakes. The answer was next morning
- Front page collage for March in my Faith Journal
- One of my favorite scenes in one of my favorite movies; Hunger Games 4. The last scene. Where Katniss Everdeen finally finds peace and can feel safe.
Thank you all for letting me share - you're so kind and great.

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.
