Weekly glimmers and gratitude

It is such a glimmer to make my #photodiary
This week's picks:
- My youngest son spent some of his confirmation money on a new keyboard. And he was so happy with it. Which was heartwarming
- Page in my diary: Weekly Focus. I add Identity in Christ, Promis from God, Bibleverse, Looking forward to, and What do I need
- Lilacs in two different colors; one of my favorite flowers
- My mom's senior dog Shiba had some blood work done (all fine). And the bandages made it look like she was wearing boots
- Beautiful sky on a beautiful day that wasn't too warm (I am enjoying the temperatures now. Soon it'll be too hot for me)
- Dr Pepper Zero as a afternoon treat. Added ice cubes which I love
- Beautiful sunset. And I am really appreciating that the camera on my new phone captures the colors much better
- Babysitting my niece and nephew; we went to the park and spent a lot of time on the swings
- My oldest taking his homework very seriously. He just got the last round of grades - and they were so good! I am so proud of him. He is paving a good path for himself.
Thank you all for letting me share.

Weekly glimmers and gratitude

Had a lot of photos to choose from for this week's #photodiary
It definitely helps me to stay committed to taking at least one picture of something good each day.
I really appreciate documenting the good in my everyday life. Because it is also a very real struggle.
This week's picks:
- One of my favorite flowers (lilacs) is blooming now
- Shopping haul from Malmö; a new journal, new stickers, and a new notepad
- A cherry soda and a rest on a bench
- New pins for my phone case; a unicorn (because I love them) and a glass of "Self Love Juice"
- Cold soda with ice cubes as an afternoon treat
- Made a page in one of my journals with copies of the Mom's Day card I got from my sons
- Also made a little decoration with a beautiful lock sticker I found and a cut out flower
- Was able to laminate one of my most used bookmarks (it's the one in me One Year Bible)
- I love shadows. And these patterns made by the trees were just lovely.
Thank you all for being here in our group.
And for letting me share.

Weekly glimmers and gratitude

I had so many pictures to choose from for this week's #photodiary due to my youngest son's confirmation service and party.
And I also did have many glimmers besides that. Which is such a blessing.
- I got my first roll of PET tape from a bestie that really wants to support my journaling and creativity
- My son got so many gifts for his confirmation. And one of my aunts actually got me something too; "A gift for mom". I thought that was so kind!
- During the confirmation service at church the priest gave my son a coin with the blessing from Numbers 6:22-27 on it. Such a precious keepsake
- Using public transportation I always hope to get a seat. If not; then something I can hold on to (my balance isn't so good). And I did get that even though it was rush hour. Which was a relief
- Spring flowers on an apple tree
- My niece wanted to hold my hand while we drove home
- The cross I gave my son as a morning present before his confirmation. So he could wear it the whole day. And he hasn't taken it off
- A new bookmark (I collect them) with books on it; love it!
- Front page collage for May in my Faith Journal. Theme: windows.
Thank you all for letting me share. And keeping me focused on the good.

Weekly glimmers and gratitude

I had a lot to choose from although I've had a rough week.
I have been very focused on capturing the good. So I think that's why I had a lot of photos to choose from - even though it's been rough.
This week's picks:
- Prompt in a devotional about how I've seen God at work in my life. Thought that was a really important thing to reflect on. So I made a page in my journal where I answered the question
- Morning coffee in a extra fancy cup because it is my sister's birthday
- A new big shirt nightgown with Mickey and Minnie
- Dr Pepper Zero as a afternoon treat
- Spring view from a window. And the early morning light makes the colors even better
- New nails in time for my youngest's confirmation
- Couch, duvet, pillow, and YouTube videos
- My pencil cases, journals, Bibles all stacked up and pretty
- Finally bought a proper stationary cutting tool. I've already used it several times (inspired to the different form of use from YouTube).
Thank you all for always being so kind and supportive.

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!

Weekly glimmers and gratitude

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.

Weekly glimmers and gratitude

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.
