Thanks for sharing

I got a message from my friend Chee. "I need to share this with you. I am making a trip in Scotland and England. Now in beautiful Whitby. Yesterday I watched a man, 70 years old, making this drawing in the sand. He loved them both. Lily and June. Amazing crazy but beautiful would."

"Thanks! I love this old man. I love you", I said in my heart.

I replied to her, "Thanks so much for sharing such a beautiful moment. Love is great. Love is life. Enjoy. Hugs. I am walking in my neighourhood, just took a couple of pictures. Wish you all the best. Good luck."

Today I showed this picture to a couple of friends. They love it. I am sure that some of you will have the similar feeling of mine when you see this lovely picure. Thanks Chee for sharing. 

Karlstad first visit

On the way back from Oslo to Stockholm my mother and I stayed in Karlstad for 24 hours. Wonderful. I love beautiful and calm Karlstad.

We enjoyed free dinner of good qulity at Clarion Collection Hotel Drott which is located just opposite the train-station. Very convenient. Nice buildning and decoration, friendly staff.

We took a little evening walk in the city center. I let my mother take a shortcut while I went along Sandgrundsudden. After coming back to the hotel with her, I found The Old Stonebridge on the map and decided to visit it. The Old Stonebridge was closed currently but there are some other bridges nearby. I went through 8 bridges in one hour, and it was just before midnight. Very fun. 

Next day is for Karlstad by boat. We took the boat-bus 91 from Almentorget to Mariebergskogen (Karlstad's city park) through the city, took a mini-train tour in the park, visited Naturum, took a walk in the forest, picknicked, and took the boat-bus 94 back. You should be there. :-)

I like this beautiful place surrounded by clear water. I feel natur and kultur in this calm place. I saw the nice paths for walk and for bike, I saw the locals enjoyed the life. Next time I will bicycle in Karlstad. :-)

I like "Sola i Kallsta". The symbol of Karlstad, ever smiling, warm natured Eva-Lisa Holtz worked as a waitress in Karlstad in the 18th century. Her sunny disposition erned her the nickname "Sola i Kallsta" (The sun in Karlstad).

Oslo first visit

My mother wished to see Oslo, so last weekend we visited Oslo on her conditions. Very nice.

My mother wished to see grassland. The train trip from Stockholm to Oslo took 5 hours and supplied view of both forest and grassland. :-)

I like Oslo S (Central station), because it faces the sea front. I like our rum at Comfort Hotel Børsparken, because of the nice view over the Opera house.

I like the public transport. With our 24-hours tickets we enjoyed a ride of public ferry (from platform E) in Oslo fjord, tram 18 and 19 to Ekebergpark, tram 19 and 12 to Vigelandsparken. Very convenient, also an unexpected experience. We missed the direct tram 12 to Vigelandsparken, so we took the tram 19, as I saw the end station for tram 19 is also the end station for tram 12. We were going to exchange trams. At the end station the tram number changed from 19 to 12, so we did not need to exchange trams, the tram exchanged routes. An interesting surprise. 

I walked twice on the roof of the Opera house. I went half of Oslo's Harbour Promenade. 

My mother is very satisfied and excited about this short visit, especially the short walk in the forest in Ekebergparken. :-)

How not-so-rich live longer

Last week I visited a small BBQ party. I showed the guests my daily exercises. One friend said "Yes, I believe your exercises are very good.  I saw a TV-program, in which a doctor has studied how the rich live longer. It's proven that some special massage and treatments have effect on prolonging life. The super rich pay extremely much money for more livetime".

Well, I have not been thinking to live extremely long, I have always been thinking to be healthy when I am alive. 

Have you ever been sick? I have been sick though I do not get sick often. When I am healthy, I want to travel, to read, to do a lot of interesting things. When I was sick, I wanted only to be healthy. How about you?

Zhonglibaren says "Help yourself instead of asking doctors for help". He teaches simple exercises which can strengthen our immune system, so you do not easily get sick, and when you get sick you will quickly recover. 

I believe all things that are good for my health, and I try them, and I get results, and I like to share with others. The posts which begin with Z eg "Z1" contains simple exercises which can help you live healthier and longer. 

Have a look at the first minutes of this document film. http://ihavenotv.com/how-the-rich-live-longer

We not-so-rich can help ourselves to live healthier and longer.  :-) 

My Promotion

Yesterday my colleague Ann came to me and said "You are really good at recruiting people. I heard when you spoke to Henrik.". "Thanks! I did it because it's good for him". "Well, I know that. But you are really really good at encouraging people. This compliment you should have," she smiled beautifully. I have encouraged some colleagues to take part in one of the best running events "Blodomloppet" - nice track with beautiful view, good atmosphere without stress, pleasant company of glad colleagues, free T-shirt and picknick. 

Over 20 years ago I sold a book - many examples of an excellent, exclusive and expensive illustrated encyclopedia. I loved the book, bought one to myself and one to my sister's daughter. Sold to my colleagues who have children, to a couple of my friends and their colleagues. One of my friend's boss bought the book. Next time when I visited my friend's office, the boss thanked me and then spoke aloud to his team "I want all of you to work as she did."

It is my nature to promote things which I believe is good for you/others. I am a simple person. I like life to be simple and enjoyable, though my son thinks I am sometimes naive. What do I promote now? I promote easy ways for better physical health and psychological health, easy ways to stronger physical immune system and psychological immune system. 

Traditional Chinese Medicine is about balance, I think. Some simple exercises can help our physical immune system to be stronger. If you search "Z1" or "Z2" or "Z3" etc in this blog you can see some popular exercises. If you understand Chinese, you can google "zhonglibaren".

Positive psychology is about balance, I think. Positive psychology is about strengthening our psychological immune system, making us more resilient. Like building a stronger motor so that we can better deal with hardships. Please search "1504" in this blog or google/YouTobe "Positive psychology 1504" and go Harvard's most popular course. 

Zhonglibaren is a master. He creats a bridge between TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and common people. Tal-ben Shahar is a master. He creats a bridge between the Ivory Tower and Main Street - translating the rigorous research conducted in universities into accessible material that most people can apply in their personal and professional lives.

My promotion is to introduce you to Zhonglibaren and Tal-ben Shahar. :-)

Magelungen completed

I hiked along the southern part of Magelungen two days ago. I hiked along the northern part of Magelungen today. Magelunden completed. Amazing. :-)

When I left home the day for the first hike, I returned and fetched a pair of workgloves (protective gloves). Good to have, and I did have use of them when I climbed down a rock cliff ca 4 meters high. Later on the road I got that feeling - no feeling of time and space.

In today's hike I passed by some familiar places and some new places. Nice to find some new and better paths in my familiar areas. Later on the new area I got a feeling - feeling like my last part in Cinque Terre - long walk among the grass by the water. 

Yes, I love to walk by the sea, I like to walk by the water. I can do what I like when I like. What do you like to do? Things we like may have easier versions and different versions. Just do it. :-)

Good Energy

People have told me before that I am full of energy, that I am enthusiastic. 

Yesterday evening I participated in a very nice event at Brave Generation. Yes, I know that one thing that differs me from others is my energy. Yes, I have been aware of energy frequency, and I am on the way of raising my energy frequency level. Improve myself physically and mentally, and inspire others to improve.

Thanks Benjamas for a wonderful evening of inspiration, thanks for saying your impression of me was"Energetic. Enthusiastic. Playful".  

Thanks Nina for telling me spontaneously "You have energy, good energy". I am on the right way. Thank God. :-)

Let me quote my friend Jacob Palmqvist "Dare. Care. Share".
