Screenshot of Nadine and me in Arvika Library. Just reunited IRL. With little brother Mika and Karin, Sofa Corner in our Casa. Now, all fine, all here, all as it should be, all is alright. Eleven days ahead, Nadine here. Yay! Breathe in. Breathe out. Good Night!
God jul! Merry Christmas!
Soto. Arty, part three. Our little cutie girl. So sweet! We love you.
Second of 24 postings, counting down to Christmas. The core. The things that defines you. The most important. I feel the core of me will provide itself as themes for some postings ahead, in this little blog challenge of #blogg24. Family. My everything. I love you. Karin. Mika. Nadine. Soto. Uchi. Deshi. Aikido. An integrated life philosophy, not just a “martial art”. Ai – harmony. Ki – life energy. Do – the way. Practice, and you will learn. Be in the flow of AiKi, and you will find the way to it. Do. With the practice, I keep centered and…
Soto might be the most perfect family cat ever. She came when she was needed the most in our family. Just some few days before we got to know the diagnosis of Mika’s heart disease during the pregnancy. She helped us cope through those days. And, well, since then, I could count so many times and events, and share so many traits, that makes her just that – The Family Cat! Of course, Uchi and Deshi are perfect family cats as well – three very distinct personalities, helping us out in the highs and lows. I do not have the…
Only me and the cats here, IRL, in our home today. But in distance, phonetalks with friends, conversations on stuff that really matters on FB webs, and chats with text, voice, images and video with family distributed, making solitude and ‘longiness’ (longing in loneliness) something manageable to carry! Longing for my full family to be in our house again! Mika and Mommy Karin back tomorrow, Nadine here next time Dec 29! I intend to blog on some findings I did today, for tomorrow, related to things that happenened Friday and that happens on Tuesday. And BTW … no TV today!…
Soto. Looking at TV. BBC Earth. Cats on TV. Uchi. Cuddling in the sofa while we watch the BBC Earth cat documentary. Deshi. In the cat tower, looking at a lamp we use for background light. We love our cats. Prrr prrr!
A tower full of cats, yes! Including Mika … He has learnt how to climb it as well. This is my family. This is my love. Only Nadine missing. She would be to big to be in the tower!
I. Startscreen. Iterations since “going Android” since years back, as fluid and dynamic as life in itself. Here, and now. Brands of Apps, as undisclosed as possible. Background, kids and me, in tricolor. Reflections of priorities, lockscreen in front nofilter, startscreen about logging for baby and running. Contact Prio one my ICE – IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. KARIN. Capturing shortlinks to dedicated notebooks – The Family. The Journal. Photo notetaking. And text. Communication – Purple app, my daughter Nadine. Blue apps, yhe closest circle, in general. Phone and short messages. Chatting. The omnipresent web browser. The photo gallery.And controls of…
The name of this blog – and my personal tagline/vision/mantra/force/motivation – is RE:LOVE THE WORLD. The About Page tells you what this means – “a world, re:loved, is a world where you meet your fellow human being with love and respect, and can expect to be met with the same”. The stream of news last days/months/years can makes your heart dark. But – if we leave all terror and alarmism in the press, the world, in fact, is getting better! There, graphs, presented in conjunction with prof Steven Pinker article in The Guardian – also, check Hans Rosling, always! – a TED…
Let’s start off with some here-and-now pics. We are in Valdemarsvik for the weekend, arrived today with the full family, cats included. What we do and what happens – follow Karin on Instagram (@akrogirl)! I am sitting on the second floor of Karin’s mum’s lovely house. The Tablet shines. I have a little remote keyboard connected to it. Mindmapped where to take this posting. Directions. Loved ones! Yes. Family! But, before that – let’s make a little historical odyssey. All You Need Is Love – “it was 49 years ago today” Sgt. Pepper told the band to play! And, they…
Inspiration. I wish I had more right now to find a wish beginning with I. But couldn’t find it. So I wish for more inspiration for the rest of the challenge! Of this reason, I hereby publish a recent image with our three cats Uchi, Soto and Deshi!
