March – mia-simone. svenberg

From frustration to an adventure walk in my suburb Storhaug and the next suburb Lervig.

Yesterday (March 9th) started with a little overslept because my Silver-boy woke me up 07 o’clock why I don’t know and I had put my alarm on 08.30 am. The reason was I had an appointment 10am to do some private practice driving. So when I did woke up almost 09am I was really late 😔😔.

Texted the person I had the appointment with asking if we could start 10.15am instead. I was also hoping this person would come to me which apparently was wrong.

I ate my breakfast and had my coffee and did the rest. Texted when I left home and wrote “I can’t walk to him cause I don’t have your address” which I didn’t have.

I walked to my workplace because I knew that was close to him. Was there at 10.30 am.

Waited until 10.50 am after I had texted him where I waited. When I didn’t hear from him at all and it was quite chill wind and only 🌡+3°C even if it was sunny, I walked. Couldn’t sit there longer!

I was so frustrated on what happened. I really tryed to do it right. You might think “why didn’t I call him?” Well my excuse is it was to cold and I don’t like to talk in the phone.

Anyway I didn’t want the rest of the day to be ruined so I went on my own adventure in my suburb Storhaug and down to suburb Lervig.

Walked streets I haven’t walked before to update my own GPS in my brain.

I walked past some street art I haven’t seen.

I went shopping some coffee one place and discovered a path I knew about but never walked before. In this block of apartments it’s also one grocery store, Coop Extra (the 1’st) a farmacy, a café, and hobby store.

This is suburb Lervig, close to the sea side on the North side of Stavanger.

Went to an other grocery store, to actually buy grocery. It’s three grocery store’s in this suburb and all in a distance of 5 min to each other. And what I discovered was It’s almost the same distance from me to all three 🤩.

Rema1000 Grocery store (the 2nd) behind and belove the bushes, down hill from where I stand and took this picture.

From where I stand, to my left 5 min walk is the third grocery store, Kiwi (as in the fruit). And from here I went back home.

Almost home and 2 hours later and over 6000 steps I had a GOOD WALK 😊.

The whole adventure walk was over two hours later 😊. I got lot’s of fresh air, saw a lot I haven’t been able to discover until now because of my sad back.

Got home rested my sore back and had some coffee 🤩 and …

Through out some carbon boxes, went into my storage and got the pots. Managed to bring not lift one of two 50 liter bags of soil inside 🤩🤩 so I could plant my newest addition of 🌱🪴 plant’s I bought two weeks ago.

6 new plants before new soil and bigger pots.

I also gave some of my old green plants new soil so they will grow better 😉. In total a very good day 🤩 even if it didn’t start so good 😊😊.

Thank you Lord for your help to change my mind find a new focus.

Good timing, Smart-watch, fabric, overlocker = Happines.

Two things.

The first; I ordered a new smart-watch about a month ago, but was send to the wrong adress so after approxy 3,5 – 4 weeks later it came to me 🤩🤩. And I love how precisly it counts my steps 🤩🤩. And the part of it was, the same day as I recived the note from the mailoffice it was delivered, my old smart-watch/fitbit broke in the way it wasn’t possible to wear it anymore.

The second; I have finally threaden🧵🧵 my overlocker 🤩🤩 it just took me 2 months 🤪😆😆. But with help from a YouTube video I nailed it.

Here is some of the tests I did last night (Friday March 11.)

I am now looking forward to use my overlocker the way I have used my sewing machine.

I still need a good sewing chair but I have patience, all thing will be good in the end. At least I have two working machines 🤩🤩.

Overandout. 😉

Time with a friend.

To share life with a friend once in a while. To grab a coffee or a cup of tea. Take time – make time.

My challenge this year is to be more social with friends after work. I have not had that kind of energy before and I am doing my best to force myself to more social after work. How can I do that?

Today Tuesday I woke up one hour earlier than normal and I’ve been tired all day and I said to myself that “it’s better to go and grab a coffee with my friend and stay at home and fall a sleep in the 🛋”

I went, and I am happy I did!

To share time, life, thoughts and things we Christians experince is both encourging and good to do. To listen to the other person. To just be in the situation.

To talk with the Lord and ask for what I wish for in life after the meeting was also something we talked about over the ☕. And I reminded myself to do that. And asked to be reminded about it every day. Becauce it doesn’t matter where we talk or when as long as we do it! ✝️

To take time is to care for the other person.
