STEADFASTNESS

Well, now it was a while ago again but it does not stop to say good evening anyway.
So "Good evening" to you!

It starts to get better with the running. For each session it goes a little easier and it is probably the regularity and that I do not drive harder than my body can handle. Yes, also the "hare" Malte (dog) then of course. Very nice and faithful running buddy I must say.

"Polar-burn"

According to some, the sun has been a little invisible, but I still think I can see a small "Polar burn" (running-watch) on my arm anyway. You understand!
In addition, it has been inspiring to go on the tours almost every day because it is so incredibly nice to take a wood-fired sauna afterwards. Can be recommended if you get the opportunity at some point.
On one of my trips in "bear-land" I passed a nice "häbre" (old hayloft) which was apparently built in the 17th century at some point. They seemed to be able to make locks even at that time. Fantastic!

Door from 17th century.

The three pictures I share with you have, separately, some to do with a very important word: STEADFASTNESS.

There is an Afro-American proverb that says:
"Keep going!" and say some I can think.

"To be steadfast is to be steady, enduring and trustworthy (think back in the pictures). We remain true to our intentions no matter what happens.
Firmness grows every time we take on a challenge. It strengthens the will to continue when Life tests our determination. We choose a path and keep a steady course.
We are faithful and tolerant of those we love. We commit to something no matter how long it may take. We are like a steady ship in a storm. We do not allow ourselves to be broken or driven off course.
We are riding out the storm. "

By the way, today I decided to run the Stockholm marathon virtually.
I do it on Saturday 5/9 with type 16 laps around Lillsjön. Right now 15 km is going well so.. why wouldn't a couple of 15 km more do.
How was it now "..steady, enduring, trustworthy..".

Have a nice Thursday and be grateful for the gift of perseverance.

It gives you strength to endure!

The great sauna.

Keep smiling!
Keep saying HELLO to strangers!
Keep LOOKING AROUND THE CORNER!
Keep going!

Everyone has a choice!

Everyone has a choice!

Well, yes I do think so. Maybe not everywhere but here, in Sweden, where I live everyone do have a choice by their own.

I've been a part of Facebook for ten years now where the last four have been pretty tough. I also have understood that many people have benefited from what I formulated with both text and image but despite this, I now choose to become inactive on Facebook.

However, I will not put out of the digital world completely but instead I will write on my blog, for writing, that is something I have almost always done. I just like it!

The difference between a blog and Facebook is that it is not as stressful and that it instead becomes a bit more of a diary where I can write about my days and dreams and I have no expectations of any readers really because it is only for me myself.

Below I will give You some pictures of what it is all about for me. I love running but the last four years I have not been able to ran as I used to do in 47 years.

I can only see, understand and respect it!

I have a place up in the mountains and I realize it is only there I feel free when out running with my dog Malte. I have an unlimited view, exiting meetings and a great peace in my body and mind.

Just me - a human

At the beach

Where the path comes out from the forrest

Unlimited views

where the road leads us

Dare to smile!
Dare a Hello!
Dare to peek around the corners!
Dare to follow Your dream!

Easy, Light and Smooth!
