Weekend Coffee Share – Let the fun begin!
Welcome to the weekend coffee share! Can I get you a cup of coffee? Or tea? It is snowing outside.. and I started planting seeds yesterday. What? Why? Isn’t it a bit early, you ask.

Today I felt like going for a bike ride. Due to very cold weather (….and the flu etc etc) I haven’t used my bike in a few weeks. And it’s been outside the whole time. I felt so grateful that the battery somehow had a lot of charge and I could go for a bike…

Today I am grateful for the best meal of the day, breakfast. My grandma used to say that everyone should eat breakfast as a king. Today I did. I enjoyed a delicious hotel breakfast in Stockholm, before attending a seminair in special needs education at Stockholm University. What are you grateful for today? Maria
