This week's #photodiary
- A cup of delicious hazelnut coffee with my childhood BFF
- New bedtime devotional book

- 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.

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.

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!
