it’s a gray, cozy monday here in the northern land of sweden. i’m thinking that we haven’t seen the sun in about 2 weeks here, but i’m not really complaining. it is quite cozy. and, i mean, it’s fall… so it’s supposed to be rainy, chilly, & darker.
it’s been a really good weekend, i think. i was off & it felt quite calm, even if we were pretty busy. nothing was rushed, everything was fun, and the company we kept was tip top. so, here are a few snippets from my fall weekend…
and here comes the message for monday…
i thought it was so inspiring and wonderful. something to think about… no matter where you are, or what you choose to do, even if it’s not much at all, soak it in. do it 100%. and enjoy every little moment of your day.

Sounds like a great start to your autumn, Liz! I love Mexican (especially fajitas!)…nom, nom… 🙂
And another American friend- wow. Here, I think we’re rarer than hen’s teeth (at least I rarely see them & I worked retail for almost 4 years). That’s okay- I’m settling into my official Aussie status now. 😉
On this end of the globe, we’re heading towards summer & I can’t wait. I lurve the beach…Still, kind of funny yet to me to have a BBQ get-together as a Xmas tradition?
i know, right. i miss really good authentic mexican food, so it was such a treat to eat her amazing fajitas! yes, it is really great to hang out with an american every now & then. but, i think it’s cool that you’re really into you aussie life. 🙂 ahhhh.. summer. we didn’t even have a summer here in sweden. it was really, really rainy & chilly. ugh. so, i’m totally jealous of your summer. the whole bbq christmas would be really weird, but fun in a different way, i guess! 🙂
“… no matter where you are, or what you choose to do, even if it’s not much at all, soak it in. do it 100%. and enjoy every little moment of your day.” Love this! What a brilliant mantra!

BTW, Americans think Swedes rock too! LOL
The “do it 100 per cent” thing kinda got me there. Just like I feel at the current moment!
