March 15, 2006 I was staring at the ceiling. I was unhappy with myself. Nowadays I dread self-pity, it's the most unattractive quality of a person.
March 15, 2007 Johan and I rented a car and escaped Gothenburg for Germany. We didn't turn right for Berlin, but went to Hamburg.
March 15, 2008 I watched the Schlagerfestival at Camilla's.
March 15, 2009 I took a walk in the park which was my neighbour in Gothenburg.
March 15, 2010 I ate oranges in the studio I had rented as a substitute for moving to Berlin. Most of the time I sat there wondering what to do with my life.
March 15, 2011 I had potatosalad with cucumber and goatcheese for lunch.
this is a brilliant idea for an otherwise ordinary day.
ReplyDeleteNordman on tv, isn’t it?;-)
ReplyDeletepiilomaja > hehe yes :)
ReplyDeleteI like this post so much. A chain of apparently unimportant random moments, alltogether so strong.
ReplyDeleteLep pozdrav/greetings!
hi sandra, cooooooooooooooooooooool!! i very, very much like your review. such a cool thing, to have a look about what was in the past and what´s today. so, so cool. really, really a great idea. maybe i will have a look at my diaries and photos what i did today or one day, the years before. ..:) greetings, lotte.:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea Sandra, I'd love to do the same for previous years and will have a look through old photos. In the past I always used to feel sorry for myself and wanted to be someone else. Now I try to make the best of things and realise my life is pretty good. I'm so glad you moved to Berlin.
ReplyDeletep.s.: and thanks for the link weeks ago to café datscha. sometimes it´s strange. i nearly ones a week past by this café but never noticed it. .. last weekend i had a look.;)
ReplyDeleteWow Sandra! Seriously? You rock. I can't even remember what I did two weeks ago. I guess that's where the pictures come in to help. Thanks for putting this together!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the pic from the Autobahn! If I was at that spot right now I would have a hard time deciding where to go first -- Hamburg or Berlin?!
ReplyDeleteI would prob. go to Hamburg first to see family and friends and then after a few days I would drive on to Berlin for some fun and exploration.
Jetzt habe ich Heimweh :)
Jag blir så himla peppad av den här serien! Lite såhär: tjoho, allt är möjligt! sitt inte där och gnäll, utan bara gör't! Heja! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful retrospect, dear S!
ReplyDeleteYour lunch looks yummy.... ;)
such a simple post, such a good idea... such a strong message. self-pity is really a non-attractive quality in a person. but the best is to be able to look back and see how much we have improved, how much action we took towards our dreams! you inspire everyone who is in doubt to take the leap i bet! ;) have a delightful day with lost of oranges and not a single drop of self-pity!!! ;) twiggs
ReplyDeleteVerkligen underbar post.
ReplyDeleteJag blev som...hoppfull, på ett vis jag inte visste att jag saknat.
Tack:)
What a fantastic review of the years!
ReplyDeleteLovely post Sandra. I like the reflection of the same day over the years. Really nice.
ReplyDeleteI like this post!! Wish i have a diary somewhere that i could look back to where i was on the exact date on the previous years!
ReplyDeleteHallo und guten Morgen,
ReplyDeletedas passt jetzt zwar nicht unter diesen Post, aber hast du für dieses Wochenende ein paar Tips für Berlin? Wir haben ein Baby, also werden wir viel viel spazieren gehen und vll hast du noch eine Idee zu einer Ausstellung, einem Cafe oä?
Wenn ihr mit eurer Wohnung durch seid und du mal ganz viel Langeweile haben solltest, würden sich sicher einige über einen Berlinguide von dir freuen, denn das sieht alles so kuschelig und schön aus auf deinen Fotos, hehe :).
Liebe Grüße und sollte ich dich diesmal zufällig sehen, versuche ich trotz Schüchternheit ein "hallo Sanda" ;)
liebe Grüße von Martje, hab ich vergessen
ReplyDeleteMartje, i have a few tips on my FAQ-page, check it out :) enjoy your weekend (my favourite thing in berlin is to walk around and just see what happens)!
ReplyDeletewhat i like is that there is never a year that feels and looks the same with the other ones. life is so interesting. some times we know what to do with ourselves and some times we don't. nice narrative and photos, sandra.
ReplyDeleteSandra, I like this idea!
ReplyDeleteI love your post, Sandra, and in fact each time you do reflective photo posts of what has happened on a particular day each year, it really makes me think about my life and how much has changed from year to year. And your writing is so sparse and elegant.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day :) xx
Fint - det här är himla intressant på något sätt. När jag tittar tillbaka på åren som gått så känns det otäckt och kusligt. Jag skulle nog inte kunna göra ett sånt här inlägg, det skulle ge mig själv kalla kårar.
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog for quite a while now. At least a year. It brings me back to myself when maybe work or other factors are pulling me in other directions. It reminds me of simple beauty and love and of what is important to me. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt's also so nice to see your review and to see you say you dislike self pity. I also used to indulge in self pity but now I see how horrid it is and how lucky I am.
Thank you for your art
Now you make me wonder what I was doing on those days, your plates always seems to have such pretty, healthy food :)
