Innan regnet i mandags hade traden utanfor vara fonster inte ens knoppar. Idag star de vita och fina. Sa harligt att vakna upp och starta dagen med vacker natur (och inte som i var gamla lagenhet da vi vaknade upp med en tegelvagg utanfor fonstret, haha). 
Igar skrev jag ett inlagg kring texten: “In order to love something you have to question it”. Pa kvallen innan jag gick och la mig drack jag en kopp yogitea och fick visdomsorden: “Where there is love, there is no question”. Hahhahahah, sa forvirrande 🙂 Jag tror dock att det handlar om tva olika “love”. Tex. min karlek till min man och min karlek till mitt jobb, det ar tva olika saker. Jim ar min familj och karleken till honom blir bara starkare. Karleken till mitt yrke och mina hobbies kan mycket val ifragasattas for intressen kan andras. Eller vad tror ni? 

Before the rain on Monday, the trees outside our windows didn’t even have buds. Today they are standing white and beautiful. So nice to wake up and start the day with beautiful (and not like in our old apartment when we woke up with a brick wall outside the window, haha).
Yesterday I wrote a post around the sentence: “In order to love something you have to question it”. In the evening before I went to bed I had a cup yogitea and got the wisdom words: “Where there is love, there is no question”. Hahhahahah, so confusing 🙂 Though, I think it’s about two different kind of “love”. For example my love for my husband and my love for my work, it’s two different things. Jim is my family and the love for him is just getting stronger. The love for my profession and my hobbies can easily be questioned because interests can change. Or what do you think? 

Horde det har igar: “In order to love something you have to question it”. Det passar valdigt bra in pa mitt liv just nu. Jag har under hela mitt liv alskat att dansa och att se pa dans och att prata om dans och vara omringad av dans, men efter mer an 20 ar av dans borjade jag att tanka lite djupare och ifragasatta det. Det ar antingen valdigt bra att stanna upp eller ocksa valdigt farligt. For antingen hittar jag nagot jag inte visste fanns och nagot jag aldrig har upplevt forut och jag blir motiverad att fortsatta, eller sa forsvinner mina kanslor helt till amnet och jag ger upp. 
Min storsta radsla under det senaste aret under mitt ifragasattande har varit att jag i slutandan kommer att ge upp dansen. Men, jag vet att jag alskar att dansa, att undervisa. att ga pa forestallningar och att tanka pa dans hela dagarna och darfor fortsatter jag aven om mina fragor leder mig at det andra hallet. Jag tror absolut att man ska ifragasatta det man gor och leta efter nya saker inom och utanfor boxen. Det ar sa livet fungerar och vi ska inte vara radda for det utan bara acceptera att vi forandras. 
Jag har kampat hart och jag har uppnat alla mina mal i livet, stora som sma, och det ar dags for mig att skapa nya, men det tar visst lite tid att komma pa vad de ar. Eller nej, jag maste bara bestamma mig for att de mal jag har satt upp for mig sjalv ar de jag ska uppna. Jag har haft alldeles for mycket att valja pa och eftersom jag ar dalig pa att ta beslut da gar det inte sa fort frammat langre. Hahaha, smapotatis problem men ack sa jobbiga.

Heard this yesterday: “In order to love something you have to question it”. It fits well in to my life right now. I have during my whole life loved to dance and watch dance and talk about dance and be surrounded by dance, but after more than 20 years of dance I started to think deeper and question it. It is either very good to pause or very dangerous. Cause I either find something I didn’t know existed and something I have never experienced before and I get motivated to continue, or my feelings for the subject disappear and I give up.
My biggest fear during the past year during my questioning has been that in the end I will give up dancing. But, I know I love to dance, to teach, to go to performances and to think about dance all day long and that’s why I continue even if my questions guides me the opposite way. I believe that you should question what you do and search for new things within and beyond the box. That’s how life works and we should not be afraid of it, just accept that we change.
I have worked hard and I have achieved all my goals, big and small, and it is time for me to create new ones, but it is taking time to figure out what it is. Or no, I just have to decide that the goals I have set for myself are the ones I will achieve. I have had way too much to choose from and since I’m bad in making decisions it doesn’t go very fast forward anymore. Hahaha, small potato problems but oh so hard. 

Okej, jag vet att jag tjatar om vadret, men i lordags hade vi 26°C!! *HAPPY*
Efter en timme pa gymmet i lordags morgon akte vi till 23rd Street och kopte  frukost fran en frukost-truck och satte oss i solen. Sa underbart! Pa eftermiddagen gick jag till Fikanyc pa Pearl Street for en harlig fika med de svenska tjejerna, Emma’s mamma och lille bebis Levy. Vi ville sitta ute for att njuta av varmen (och aven ha Thor med oss) men de hade inga stolar ute (konstigt), sa det blev fika inne. Det var en valdigt trevlig fika time!
Efter en promenad i Battery Park motte jag upp Jim och vi at pa Brookfield innan vi gick och hamtade Thor och gick vidare till Clinton Hall bar och kollade Bulls game. Alla pa uteserveringen blev kara i Thor saklart haha. T var dock lite for uppspelt sa vi gick hem och lamnade honom i halvtid. 
Vi hade en valdigt harlig lordag med sommarvader. Jag ar redo for manader med varmt vader! Wohoo!

Ok, I know I’m talking a lot about weather, but on Saturday we had 26°C!! *HAPPY*
After an hour at the gym on Saturday morning, we went to 23rd Street and bought breakfast from a breakfast-truck and sat down in the sun. So wonderful! In the afternoon I went to Fikanyc on Pearl Street for a lovely fika with the Swedish girls, Emma’s mom and little baby Levy. We wanted to sit outside to enjoy the heat (and also have Thor with us) but they didn’t have chairs outside (weird), so we had fika inside.  It was a very nice fika time!
After a walk in Battery Park, I met up with Jim and we ate at Brookfield before we went home and got Thor and went to Clinton Hall bar to watch the Bulls game. Everybody on the outdoor seating fell in love with Thor of course haha. T was a little too excited though so we went home and left him on half time. 
We had a very lovely Saturday with summer weather. I am ready for months with warm weather! Wohoo!

Igar hade vi +21 grader!!! Jag tog med mig Thor ut pa langre promenader i solen flera ganger under dagen. Den har veckan har jag forsokt vila min rygg/skunderblad som ar helt messed up. Jag kunde inte sova pa tre natter (delvis visserligen pga att ett litet monster tar min plats och jag kan inte stracka ut benen), sa det har blivit mycket promenader, mycket corpse pose och massor med icyhot. Inatt har T sovit i sin egen sang och jag har nu jatte mycket energi. Jag har fortfarande ont men idag kan jag iaf rora pa mig. Jag har hunnit med ratt mycket redan idag och jag hoppas att det fortsatter i detta tempo for resten av dagen. Jag onskar er en harlig dag!

Yesterday we had +21 degrees!!! I took Thor with me for longer walks in the sun several times during the day. This week I have tried to rest my back/shoulder blade that is totally messed up. I couldn’t sleep for three nights (part because some little monster is taking my spot and I can’t stretch out my legs), so there has been many walks, a lot of corpse pose and lots of icyhot. Last night T slept in his own bed and I now have a lot of energy. I still have pain but today I can at least move. I have already done so many things today and I hope it will continue in this tempo throughout the day. I wish you a wonderful day!

Att stretcha hemma ser ut alltid ut sahar. T foljer mina fotter. Om jag har pa mig strumpor, da kommer han snart och tar av dem. Weirdo.
To stretch at home always looks like this. T follows my feet. If I have socks on, then he soon comes and takes them off. Weirdo. 

Igar kvall var vi pa Barclays Center och sag Chicago Bulls vs Brooklyn Nets. Betydligt mer rott i publiken vilket var kul. Bulls kicked ass saklart. Vi hade en riktigt bra kvall. 

Last night we were at Barclays Center and saw Chicago Bulls vs Brooklyn Nets. Much more red in the audience which was fun. Bulls kicked ass of course. We had a really good night.
