One Day At A Time

This week felt like a blur. The feelings of grief intensified this week. I have felt this hole in my stomach all week. Does the grief ever fully go away when you lose someone so special?

Today was the day where my energy and motivation came back to me. I decided to spend my day giving my home some love. I spent my afternoon outdoors gathering firewood, mopping the floors downstairs, cleaning the outdoor bath, and building another desk for my art studio. It's all coming together now. Slowly but surely.

Leiana kept me company on my outdoor work and was on moose watch. She is adorable. I enjoyed taking pauses to observe her, to learn from her. She is the best teacher. She helps me stay present.

Now I'm enjoying a cozy vegetable soup and then I will go to bed. I am very tired and calm which feels so lovely compared to my anxious late nights and late morning rises this week. Today I felt I really turned things around and look forward to more calm and productive days ahead this month. I can't wait to bring the twinkly fairy lights into my world and light up the forest around me. I want to feel like I live in a fairytale.

The fireplace has been on all evening and candles lit in the beautiful farmhouse windows. This evening has felt very cozy and special in some way.

I hope you had a beautiful Saturday. Here come some pictures from today. I know they are not the best quality. I took screenshots from the video clips I took for my upcoming YouTube vlog.

Speak soon! Lots of Love,

Annika
